Lets face it, ultimately, the insurance company wants to keep the money you put in their pocket, in their pocket! You have the right to use any body shop you like. When my car got wrecked I took a week to ask around for reputable body shops in my area to be sure the job got done right by someone I could trust. I'm sure if this happens again, you will too.
Sorry to see it happen to you though... 
they didn't recommend it. a good friend of mines dad was the manager of carstar. carstar is a nationally known collision repair shop. due to internal conflict, his dad quit just before my car went in. his dad originally did my estimate and everything. i've heard only great things about the company, thats why i'm so incredibly surprised with the outcome. when i told his dad of the situation, he was awed and couldn't believe it. he said i may have to contact corp. headquarters over the matter. o well, $hit happens.
