If you can get the car up on jack stands it's a diy-able job. Once all the belly panels are off it's not hard to replace that. Might have to drop the exhaust. Shop will probably ask for around 5 hours including bleeding by my guess... Good luck.
Seeing as that's a fixed section of brake line, how on earth did that break? Is it possible an angry ex is trying to kill you? Watch your back lol...

Car is currently on stands, Was upgrading brakes. I wish it was my crazy ex the 11mm on the brakeline was stuck/corroded so it twisted the line with it. I twisted it back and the line opened righttt up. Just one of those days…. Again and again

Sucks when an easy couple of hours job turns into something else..

Part itself is relatively cheap...
