I had someone try to bleed my brakes but ended up damaging and cutting my lines. I am asking for the name of the copper like line for the fluids to order parts. I think the copper one is hydraulic but not sure. He damaged/cut both I think rare lines. Also, it looks like it will be a lot of work, is it fixable? Thank you.

Here are videos to help you make your own line or replace the brake flex hose.

The process is the same in most cases.They are fixable by replacing them then having the system bled, it may need a pro to do it now with a scanner to open valves on ABS unit. we have no pictures of the lines so it depends on which is damaged. there are one hose on each side in front and one in back. See picture.

The lines run underneath the driver's side.

Do I search for hydraulic brake line? Or just brake lines? How much do you think it will cost to fix everything? Thank you

search for brake lines for that model car if it runs to back it will be the main line we have no pictures of that for a correct name. These may be dealer items or try Dorman Products.com. No idea on cost it depends on length as well as bends where it connects on cost etc.
