Question
Shalom.
If a person damaged his friend's car, can the one who caused the damage tell him that he wants the injured party to carry out the repair, because it is a burden for him to go to the garage and take care of the repair?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
The responsibility and trouble of arranging the repair is on the injured party.
Source
Siman Tag, se’if 3: the halacha is that the trouble of dealing with the carcass (i.e. the bother of handling the aftermath of the damage) is on the injured party, and see there in Pe’at HaShulchan, se’if katan 1, that he may recoup his expenses and efforts from the one who caused the damage.
