I'm using one of State Farm's "service first" shops that goes off the estimate done by the claims agent. If the shop needs to fix extra things that weren't noted in my estimate State Farm picks up the bill.
I popped the hood today to find my radiator support/fan shroud was bent, so State Farm is taking care of that as well as a laser unibody alignment and all that.
