driveshaft repair

i had damaged my drive shaft the other day and cut a groove into it. i took it into a mechanic today and they told me there could be a cheaper way than putting a new one in by cutting it and welding a piece on. my concern is how good is it, and my truck is brand new only 3 months old. I am concerned that factory warranty would be comprimised but also don't have much money.

Drive shaft repaires get done, Or you can buy a new one. The Motorsport one Alluminum I put in my mustang was only $300.00 How much cheaper is the repaire. I would measure your shaft. Center of Ujoint to center of Ujoint, and make a few calls
