They aren't going to fill the whole groove up, just the area where the crack is and it will have to be milled any way from heat/distortion.
I think your solution would work. Cast aluminum is fixed all the time. If I knew a really good shop in my area, I would have likely just got it repaired. I got the impression the guy/shop I was planning to look at the repair didn't possess the expertise I needed.
