If I go to the store in my Camaro and such store doesn't have any safe parking spots, I go somewhere else.

I would have went to a shop and got them to fix it for a fraction of the cost, it's just a little ding. I wouldn't sleep easy knowing that I just took 550$ from a family for something so small. Yes I believe the guy should pay and that he's an ass for not caring but come on dude, no need to break their bank for this.

I don't feel sorry for the family. If they pay the price, then maybe there's a lesson in there that can be passed on to their kids. If you can't afford it, then stay at the house or get a better paying job. Why does the victim have to shoulder any burden on this?
Sure, it probably wasn't intentional, but the carelessness of slinging open doors comes with a price. $550 in this case. Pay up or educate the family on parking lot etiquette. And DON'T park any car in public parking garages, etc., where this has a probability of happening if you can at all help it.

did he pay you cash on the spot? or write a check?
I'm sure I'm not the only person who had the wind grab their door and accidently strike the car next to mine... I'd hate to drop $550 every time that happens. Expect dings if you park next to cars... that's why I park in the boondocks. |

What is the difference , cash /check
He most likely paid it strait to the dealer , that's what the OP should have ask to be done By doing it that way , if the guy try to cancel that check , he would be in a much bigger problem and would have start the all thing over again |

If one of you had a dent that little and I said I'll fix it for $550, would you pay me for it? I don't think any of you would. I guarantee you would say it's a rip for sure, because I could fix that tiny dent and it would be perfect in less than 1 minute and be done with it.
I'm just saying, it could have been handled differently. Especially if one of the kids did it. I'm sure the family could have done a lot more with $550 then fix that dime sized dent.

The word "vandal" implies they did it on purpose.

That's why I don't drive my Camaro to malls...grocery store or errands...and if I did..I park far away from everyone and walk.
You can't have nice shit without someone mucking it up....and it's always someone with a POS car that is the offender.

The OP needs to do a better job of getting ALL of the wax off the car. The big white streak of old wax is almost as bad as the dent. $550 is high to repair this damage. Going to the dealer ensured the price would be high, but maybe next time the guy driving the van will more careful.
