This is a question of warranty.

Check the paperwork from the repair order. What warranty did the shop offer on the repair? If the problem was discovered within the warranty period, then fight like hell to get the shop to repair it properly. If you are outside the warranty period, then this will be an uphill battle that will be hard to win.

In my experience, fighting with an insurance company is a long-term battle. I spent 15 months fighting over my totaled silver Boxster. The insurance company delayed and lied about everything they could to see if I would just give up and go away. Maybe your experience will be much better, but be prepared for a long slog in the mud.
