I think I've Been Screwed

Ehhh, depends on how you file your claim.. The insurance company has a set list of shops that you must take the car to that are approved to appraise it and do the repair.. The other option is you can have an adjuster come to your house and look at the damage and cut you a check based on his/hers estimated repair cost and then you take that check and find your own place or do it yourself.. If you choose option A you have to go with the company they tell you to go to. If you choose option B you have to wait for an adjuster and run the risk of them cutting you a check that is not enough to cover all the costs..
You can use the $$ they give you for any thing you want. You dont even have to get car repaired. You can install any part you want in place of the OEM parts.
Once you agree to let the Ins Co repair & shop agrees to their terms/parts etc then you cant change it in mid repair as the shop is now being paid by the Ins Co.
If new damage is found by shop all you need to is call Ins Co & they should issue a supplemental claim/check to the shop or you. I just went thru this, this summer.

Got the car back today - detailed inside and out - down to the last square inch - even the tires.
Meh, I think yesterday I was on a hair trigger because of everything that was going on. Overall I'm pretty happy.
