My insurance company (Geico) was very helpful after I backed my GLK 250 SUV
into a Fedex truck. I was able to choose my own body shop and when the
repairs to the rear bumper proved more costly than the initial insurance
company appraisal, they approved an extra $1k.

Exactly.
A good body shop will have a full body frame machine with lasers to give
precise alignment of body alignment points, and that data exists for every
car made and sold in the world now.
The new frame machines are designed to "pull" unibodys back into alignment.
They are not cheap, and the sh
Yes a good body shop will have the equipment to pull the body back to where it
should be. There are all kinds of measuring points that they can use to compare
the car to factory specs and know where and how far to pull.

I went out and looked and at first glance it just looks like door damage.
However that gab at the top indicates much worse issues. The old woman did hit
the car pretty hard and I’m betting it did actually tweak the b pillar. I will
see what the estimates say but my inclination is to have it fixe
I bet the damn thing ends up getting totaled.

From my experience, take a very serious look at the "B" pillar. If it is
bent [which is likely, based on the pax door damage] B pillar damage will
show up in a change in the door margins of the rear door.
A good body shop would catch it on inspection... a schlock shop used by the
lowball insurance
It might be a requirement for a settlement, might want to make sure first
before you refuse. You’ve got nothing to lose, the ball is in your court at
this point. Give them their pictures and start the process. When it gets
gritty, they’ll be sending out an adjuster.

Oh I am. I have had probably 5 different people calling me about setting up to
take it to a shop. The shop I told them it was going to was the shop the dealer
uses and is MB certified. The last guy that called started yapping about how
they charge too much and it might be more than their policy

I used to have several white doors but not at the moment. I’m sure I can find
some doors but would probably end up having to have some blending done. I’m
considering actually letting it get professionally fixed.

When my Dodge pickup was totaled, USAA didn't fuss at all selling it back to me.
A complete Cummins 12-valve 6BTA drivetrain for $1000 was a very good deal.
The total, to put it back on the road, was roughly $7500, which included
brand-new
wheels and tires all around. Leaving some $12000 'profit
