New Member Needs Help

Hey how's it going guys?  I got an update for you all.. I met with my insurance company during lunch to go over the damage.  Good news it is covered in my policy and I only have to pay my $100 deductible.  I explained to the guy that since the window is sewn in it's a pretty lengthly job.  He agreed and even mentioned that they might replaced the whole top.  I was definitely excited to hear that.  It's not everyday where you get a new top for $100.  He called a shop that the insurance company recommends for an estimate and the guy said that they can do the work without needing a new top.  The price the he quoted me at was very very low which made me concerned.  This is the first claim I have ever made so the insurance rep did explain all of my options.  He also stated that this is just a starting point and that if I go to the shop and don't get a good vibe off the guy I could take it somewhere else.

In the mean time I want to find out from other shops what they recommend.  Obviously the dealership is going to say nope replace the whole top but I need other shop's opinions.  I don't have to take it to the recommended shop and if lets just say two other shops tell me that I should have the top replaced then the insurance company said they will cover it.  Does any member know of any shops that have expierence working on our cars that could give me an estimate/opinoon?

Thanks again for your help.
