where are you located. i both do this kind of work and know a fair number of small fabrication shops in the bay area.
all you need to do is look for 'machinist' or 'tool and die' or 'metal fabricator' and make sure its a place that takes on small random work and not some high margin specialized manufacturer. probably call them and get used to rude dismissmals.
show up and shop and ask for the guy in charge. for this kind of work its often done under the table, so offer to pay cash. its very likely that the floor manager or a senior fabricator is going to do this in their spare time and not even put it on the books.
you're gonna pay too much. probably a couple to a few hundred depending on complexity.
you also sometimes ask a metal supplier. they have relationships with these kind of people. they often aren't that friendly though
