If the repairs are $7500 or under, you can sue in small claims court. I assume you weren't hurt, since you didn't mention it. You don't need the police report for small claims, although it could be a plus if it's favorable to you. Bring witnesses with you. Don't rely on written statements as the court probably won't consider them. Bring photographs, diagrams, etc., to explain your case visually.
