Ouch! At least you have her contact information. Hopefully it's right and you can get a nice paint job and more.

You're very fortunate, Most people would've backed into your car and just left.

x2! I've even heard of people leaving a fake note just to make it seem like they are leaving their contact info. Good thing the lady was honest about it. Hope you get it fixed up quick!

What do you do if that's the case? File hit and run or just claim your insurance?

I think the chances of someone leaving their contact info is like slim to none. You are one lucky dude. GL with the repairs.
