Thanks for the reply.

That is the case but i need to take it to the "estimator" so they can cut me a check to take to the dealer/repair shop. I was hoping to have some kind of idea what it would cost to make sure his insurance company was somewhere in the ballpark with their estimate to help avoid more paperwork.

To me it makes sense for the dealer to do work and then the insurance company to cut them a check, but that is too simple...
