I have not yet been in an at-fault accident, but I was in one that wasn't my fault. I guess it doesn't really matter, but I was in touch with the insurance company(ies) first. They usually recommend a shop, but you always have the right to go anywhere you please. In my case I took it to the Saab/Volvo dealership's body shop in town. It was a light rear-ender and they quoted a little less than $400 for some repair and a respray of my bumper. I was going to just take the money and run. It wasn't noticeable damage to the casual passerby but I knew it would bug me for the rest of my time with the car (it was my 2004 9-5 Aero) so I had it repaired. While they were in there they decided the damage was more extensive and the ~$400 estimate turned into a $1,300 bill, with a bumper replacement. And don't get me started on the Chevy HHR rental I had for two weeks.
