this might be a silly question but what is the fair market value of the car?
is there a leinholder on your car?
is the insurance company believes you can get the car fixed for what they offer, simply ask them where it can be done.
If they cannot provide a shop that will repair the car for what they offer, then suggest they pay the estimates you have or simply head to court. Your talking small claims in most, if not all states so you can argue this yourself.
unless you have a lein on your car that requires you to repair the car, you are entitled to recieve the cash value of the repair. There is no requirement to repair the vehicle. It takes cash to make you whole, not neccessarily fixing the vehicle.
