Insurance help/strategy needed please.... got tagged

What a "F'n Goat Rope" (I'm a Navy guy, so it is appropriate) the insurance stuff is.

Progressive (the other guys company) inspected the car and found that the estimate for work, parts, time, quality...etc was dead on EXCEPT they wanted to pay the shop $50 an hour verses the $90 they charge. Progressives solution was for me to take my car to Maaco (I'm serious) or pay the difference on 91.5 hours of work. I lost my mind on the phone and later apologized for raising my voice at the office to my staff (I own my business so they "had" to forgive me) as they know how nutty I am about my car.

I called my Allstate rep and they said they would honor the quote, labor rate and sent me a $1000 check for the deductible. AllState called my shop and said that they will authorize the repairs as-is and to stand by for the paper authorization.

So far AllState has been a 10 and Flo is not so good.
