I don't have a specific recommendation. Any contractor or handyman can do it. But, you need to find someone who will do more than a standard drywall repair or the crack will just come back. The crack needs to be cut out and replaced with a flexible material that will create an expansion and contraction joint, so that the drywall can move as the temperature changes without cracking again. Almost all large expansive garage and lanai ceilings usually develop these cracks.
