Sub Frame Rotting Out

My sister took her car which is ten years old for an oil change and they showed her where the there was a hole in her sub frame and the sway bar is no longer attached. They told her she has to have the entire sub frame replaced and she's really upset of course. But I'm thinking that it could be repaired by welding a new piece of metal because that seems to be the only spot with a problem. Has anyone done anything like this?

I have never attempted this but the best thing would be to take it in to another shop for a second opinion. I probably would not attempt a weld job only because then you are inviting more trouble because everything will depend upon that weld holding over the course of time.
