Help! Broken Spring.

So I think my mk7 09 fiesta front spring is broken (sounds like there's metal hitting off metal when I'm going over bumps) and I need some advice. I've had to find a new mechanic because my last one was a friend of my ex and I'm concerned that I'm going to end up being ripped off because I don't have a clue what he's talking about. Roughly how much should it cost? And I've heard that your better getting them both done at the same time because once one goes, they both will? This is when being a man less, clueless girl isn't handy lol

    If you're driving it to the garage and it is a snapped spring be very careful!

    I don't want to worry you but I saw a Mk7 Fiesta come into the garage where the snapped spring had gone through the tyre as well!

    Can you jack up the corner of the car the noise is coming from? A snapped spring will be really easy to see!

    Broken spring. £100ish to fix it and the guy took the broken bit out so its not rattling and shouldn't pop my tyre. Thanks for all the advice guys!
