We have a car that’s in for repairs. The whole transmission is being redone, and when they took the engine out they found out that the brake lines are in bad shape and need to be replaced entirely front to back.

For this they gave us a quote of around $3000.

We were speaking to a friend and she said she had hers replaced for around $300 a short while back.

Is the price we got realistic?

    Seems high, possibly a don’t want to do it quote. We used to figure about an hour per line when I lived in minnesota and dealt with it. Maybe a bit more depending on vehicle and routine, usually pickups were in the $700-$1000 range for all of them, but that’s been 6-8 years now. $300 for all the brake line replaced on your friends car seems super cheap, likely it was just a couple of them.
