I had to get all of my brake pads and front disc brake replaced. On the process of repairing, they had damaged my wheel stud which they stayed quiet on. Partly I will take the blame too as I did not check properly before driving off from the garage. I noticed it in the evening. By that time the garage had already closed for the day.
Is it safe to drive to the garage to solve this issue ? The garage is roughly 5 miles from my house. How much would it rougly cost ? Please help me out.

On older honda and some subarus the studs are just weak. The amount of times I go to take off lug nuts on a honda or subaru and after I zip it off I find the stud snapped is to often.
That being said the shop should of let you know it happened in the first place and should pay for you to get a new one installed since they broke it. So I’d just take it back.

that happens a lot…
you have to take the caliper off… the caliper bracket off… the rotor off…
drive out the old studs… change them all…
with grade 8 flat washers that fit around the stud… and a conventional shaped lug nut… flat side toward the greased washers… you can tighten the nut to pull the new stud in…
invest in new lug nuts that match also…
if you have 3 lugs on that wheel… yes… you can drive it home… i have seen cars that were missing 1 out of 4 for years…
here is a 61 second video on how to do it… https://youtu.be/1ytN_perV78?si=XGtMWe61qHyb2DEk
