The major difference I see is the insurance company figured a used quarter panel %26amp; the body shop figured repairing the existing quarter panel.

Without seeing the damage, I can only guess, but you are probably better off having the panel repaired. A used panel will have an increased risk of rust, may have had previous damage repaired, and if improperly installed it could compromise the factory engineered crush zones, increasing the risk of passenger injury in a rear end collision.

A skilled technician can make an invisible and durable repair to most any repairable dent. (many insurance adjusters are clueless when it comes to what can be repaired %26amp; what can't.)

By all means, have them look it over. I would even take it to a second shop to verify that it is something that should be repaired or replaced.

They sure can. A lot of times, there is a hidden defect and supplements have to be asked for.
