Here is the deal with Progressive. I worked for them for 7 years as a claims manager and trainer. They will try to force you to bring the car to one of their shops. You can choose this or a shop of your choice. I would definately take it to the highest quality shop you can. You dont have to take it to their shop. The shop you choose will negotiate the price with the Progressive claims rep. Progressive will most likely choose used or aftermarket headlamps. You dont have much choice there unless they are unable to find "like kind and quality" meaning as good as new or the ones you had on the car at the time of the loss. Any great bodyshop will be able to negotiate a settlement with the claims department. You should only have to pay your comprehensive deductible.

Best of luck and remember that it is your car and your choice.
