Default Crack side lower bout. What are my options?

I'm not sure how or when it started. My guitars are always stored in their case and humidified as needed. It may have been a small crack when I purchased it that has started to grow.

Regardless, what are my options for repair and or to prevent spreading? I have a local guy that is going to take a look at it next week. Just wondering what questions I should ask and what he should be asking me.

Happens all the time. Should be a straightforward repair with some reinforcement on the inside. The crack is pretty tight which makes it a little bit challenging to get the glue worked in.

Questions to ask? "Can you show me the radiused caul that you use to clamp a crack like this?" If they look at you like you are crazy, find another guy.
