Help with an accident

Long story short, my girlfriend's roommate who's an international student borrowed somebody's car and wrecked the rear bumper on a stationary object. I haven't actually seen the car myself but I guess the bumper does need to replaced.

Thing is, the owner of the car only has liability insurance so he supposedly asked so got quotes from numerous bodyshops and $1080 was the cheapest he got quoted for a freaking 07 Hyundai Azera! My girlfriend's roommate has been under constant stress lately to pay for the damages, not to mention she can't even ask her parents for money since the exchange rate is so f*cked up right now.

Now, it's quite obvious that I can get a much better quote if I were the owner but if seems like he's unwilling to get his bumper replaced anywhere else other than the Hyundai dealership. Is there anything she can do? Any help would be appreciated.
