Ok, so I broke my front driver side bottom engine mount. I was wondering if possible how long and how difficult it would be for me to repair it myself. If thats not possible how much would it be if I take it to a shop for it to be repaired.

thank you for your time.

Hello

Well it all depends on how mechanical you are. I don't have the instructions on how to do this but I do have the pics. It is a matter of jacking up your engine, removing and replacing the mount and connecting it back to the frame. If you do it yourself check Auto Zone or O'Reilly's for the part. . ...may be under $100.

Just be careful. . ..anytime things are on jacks it is dangerous.

I have also attached what I show the estimated cost. . ...it may be more or less so shop around for estimates.

To remove;

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and support the vehicle safely. Place a transaxle jack and a block of wood under the transaxle. Raise the transaxle enough to take the load off of the engine mount.
On all transaxle type EXCEPT for the 1910 4-speed manual transaxle, remove the engine mount-to-support bracket attaching nut. Unfasten the attaching bolts and remove the engine mount from the vehicle from the vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with a 1910 4-speed manual transaxle, an additional mount is installed. Remove the 3 nuts securing the support bracket to the engine at the starter. Unfasten the 3 bolts that hold the bracket for the mount below the bumper region.
Remove the mount.

To install;

On all transaxle type vehicles, position the replacement mount between the support bracket and transaxle. Torque the bolts to 25-37 ft. lbs. (35-50 Nm).
If equipped with a 1910 4-speed manual transaxle, install the support bracket and bolts to the body portion below the bumper. Tighten the bolts to 13-19 ft. lbs. (18-26 Nm).
Install engine mount nut and tighten to 6-100 ft. lbs. (108-136 Nm).
If equipped with 1910 4-speed equipped, install the nut and tighten to 45-65 ft. lbs. (35-50 Nm). Install the additional bracket, then secure using the attachment nuts, tightening to 25-44 ft. lbs. (35-50 Nm).
