Default sway bar bushing bracket broken

well i looked under my car cause there was a klunking noise and i found that the C shaped bracket to hold the bushing on the sway bar to the body of the car is broken. looks like one of the bolts holding the bracket snapped, and now half the bolt is stuck in the hole.

do you think a shop would be able to tap and drill that old bolt out and put a new one in its place? and how much would something like this cost? i would do it myself, but i dont have the tools.

For what you might pay to have it done, you could prob buy the tools. That is always my reason for new toys.
