Haven't dealt with shops/insurance before so looking for some advice. Neighbor's car rolled out of their drive way into our parked car. Bashed in the drivers side and pushed it into the curb and bent the passenger side wheels in a bit. Car unfortunately cant be driven safely.

The shop we had it towed to took it to refuses to do their own estimate and is waiting on the insurance company to send an agent out and provide their own estimate. They said they honor the insurances quote and if anything is found during repair they will let the insurance company know. That just sounds like if they miss anything it will be another week's delay to get our car fixed. Which sounds like a load of crap, it took almost a week just to get the car towed to the shop.

Should I find another shop who will do their own estimate and then compare it to the insurance? I don't trust the insurance's estimate at all....
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!

On that note, any reputable shops down in San Diego that do amazing work?(money ain't a factor as insurance will be covering it)?
