I guess it depends on the insurance company. The State Farm guy had his laptop out that automatically connected to a database for the parts along with part numbers compatible with my car along with cost of paint and install. He gave me a print-out quote for everything and cut me a check based on that. I already had an independent body shop that was recommended to me so I showed the quote and they went with it. I didn't bother with the dealer since the shop I got seemed really reputable (based on google, yelp, and other reviews I found).
