However, you should not be held to which repair shops the insurance company recommends. This is all dependent if some clause in your insurance policy states otherwise. Also, if the repairs exceed what you initially received from the insurance company, the insurance company will pay the difference to the repair shop.

Also, I commented several times that I believe that you shouldn't be liable for the $500 deductible based on your insurance policy. Did you mention to your agent about the waiver you are paying for? Maybe, because you didn't first report it within their time requirement it no longer applies.

I'm calling the guy who came to my house to look at my car but he won't pick up my calls. I'll go to a shop and get an estimate tomorrow. The paper attached to the check did state that I am legally able to go to any shop I want. So yeah ill be taking a look. Ill keep you guys updated.

Hey guys, I know this is kind of an old post bump but I thought i'd make a final update. I ended up taking the check as insurance policy wouldnt give me back the 500 deduct. Check was 760.00. My cousin unscrewed reached in and pushed out the damage with his hand and we are just leaving it at that. Heres before and after Pic. Thanks for everyones help.
