Buy the bolt from the nearest dealership, and replace it yourself. The bolt/stud probably costs less than $5. Those little cap nuts do not require much torque (10ftlbs maybe), so you have to be careful. They snap really easy.
Make sure you get the right bolt/stud, because they have different lengths. You probably don't have the nut anymore, so you will probably have to get that too. This link may help you to determine which bolt needs replacing
