3000$ damage

I drove my car to a body shop near my house. As far as I figured out in the Internet, they just needed to change the hood and bumper. I checked the price, and it was less than 500$. I showed my car to the body shop to ask them if they can repair it without using insurance. "Oh man, it's bad. At least 2000$, I say 3000$ costs to repair it. It's better to call your insurance." He said. I called insurance, and asked them to come and see the car. I asked the body shop owner to call me whenever they came. He said, as soon as the adjuster came and saw your car, we start working on it. It takes one week to ten days to fix it. I decided to leave my car there to be fixed.
