If you have a good insurance company the adjuster will inspect it, recommend some shops and you take it there and they will work together. That is what happened when I had $10,000 in damage. There was never an argument or question because the shop did what they had to do and the insurance company paid it. You can't just expect the insurance adjuster to accept anything the shop says because the shop will want to charge high, the adjuster pay low. Let them work together to get it fixed. You won't make money on the deal but you should be made whole. Too many people want to make a bonanza on the deal...and the insurance adjusters job is to make sure that doesn't happen.
