Thanks for the support and advice everyone.
I've really been struggling since it's the first time I've had to deal with this kind of situation, so this has all been very helpful.
I'm dropping the car off at the shop today and will let them handle dealing with my insurance.
Will just see how it goes.

I would just take it to the shop and have them fix it. If it looks crappy, then you can jump up and down.
Unfortunately they are under no obligation to replace repairable parts because you think they should.
