Made a small dent on someone’s car door when opening the door at a parking lot. The wind was too strong and pushed the door away from me and I couldn’t hold back enough in time. That person’s dent repair guy is quoting me $500 for a minor dent now. Don’t want it to go to insurance, but 500 seems too steep. Also just wanna be done with it. What steps do I take other than just Zelle the car owner the money? Or anything else I can do? #cars
How big is the dent? Paintless dent removal is about $50-$150 a dent depending on the size
Hit and run
You probably have that much deductible on your insurance. You can ask for a receipt of the repair, but it may run way over 500
Maybe write up a short letter saying you agreed to handle this person to person. The owner agrees that $500 is the total sum of money to be paid by you & no further action will be taken the the owner to recoup additional funds or damages.
Owner is some old lady. Not sure if she’ll agree to sign stuff. Could try, but I was hoping I don’t have to drive all the way over to where the repair is happening
Ah in that case it's probably not worth worrying about.
$500 sounds like a bargain for a dent involving paint correction.
Just do the right thing and pay to have it repaired. In the grand scheme of things, 500 is not a big deal to make things right
Just pay and make sure they write a note to you certifying that you've resolved the issue and they won't go back to you for more money
You would want a liability waiver in exchange for the settlement.

Don't be cheap. Pay the $500. It's worth it so your insurance rates won't go up
True. I can pay it. Just making sure if there’s anything else I need to do so I don’t get bothered again
