(The father is a new Canadian, if that makes a difference) He wants to see the estimate I got from the body shop, saying 'it seemed high'.

I would also go through insurance. You will need to report the claim to the police.
If one party reports the incident and the other party does not and if the damage is over $1,000 its a hit and run. (i.e. there is a risk not reporting)
