XIN LI, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. JING XIAN LOU, Defendant-Appellant.
Per Curiam.
Judgment (Judy H. Kim, J.), entered March 5, 2019, affirmed, without costs.
A judgment rendered in the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court will be sustained on appeal unless it is shown that "substantial justice has not been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law" ( CCA 1807 ; see Williams v. Roper, 269 AD2d 125 [2000], lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898 [2000] ). Applying that limited review standard here, and since two itemized estimates for repairs were presented by plaintiff in support of her claim (see CCA 1804 ), we find no basis to substitute our judgment for that of the trial court in awarding plaintiff $4,800, representing the cost to repair her vehicle that was damaged while in defendant's possession.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
