Amazing how stupid some people can be. Looks like you are lucky it is the only spot that was damaged.

sorry to see/hear about that happening to your car...good luck in the repair process. I hope the contractor takes care of it as he has already stated.

I would ask the apartment complex for a copy of the contractor's license and insurance and/or bond. If anything, the permit should have that information on it. They did get a permit to do the work, right???

The complex should not have a problem providing that information unless they hired a non-license group of people to do the work. If the complex negligenlty hired a non-licensed and/or insured or bonded contractor, well, I would think the complex would absorb the liability if the contractor fails to come through for you.

Not sure about your area, but in Florida the complex could get into deep crap for hiring non-licensed people to work on a commercial project (apartments are treated as commercial in Florida).

Good luck. I hope one of the two parties comes through for you.
