I agree with the relatively few who said that if your daughter is thrifty and responsible, you don’t need to use this expense to teach her a lesson. Her character won’t suffer if you pay for the repair.
On the other hand, if she can afford it and isn’t asking you for money, what’s the problem? There’s no cause for you to feel guilty. I’m sure your daughter knows you’ll help her in times of real need; sounds like this isn’t one of those times.
