WEll if you decide to take it elsewhere you gonna have to deal with the insurance company again. If this place does good work i say leave it there and be patient the last thing you want is a rushed job and as far as part yea it sux having in there not being able to do anything but the time will come. have you tried giving the body shop a visit and seeing your car that way you know whats going on

Find out why its taking so long, if they give you the run around, speak with a manger, or the owner, bitch ALOT, but keep it cool, know what i mean? call them like every day and ask if its done, i had an issue with a shop once, so i started calling them about every 2 hours to see wtf was going on, then it was done in about a week when they said it would take like 3, even if its not drive able, have it towed to another shop, sounds like 1, they are to busy, 2 they are slackers,

Sadly because of the not so great drivers here, im been to the body shop many times. Whenever in doubt always remember this.

They are a buisness trying to sell you a service, YOU are incharge, not them. You are the one paying, so if you don't like the quality of the job or the buisness itself. Then take your buisness elsewhere.

Just today me and a friend went to a junk yard to find body parts for a 300ZX, we were told they had one with a blown engine but a perfect body. Its one of those overgrown outside, junkyards. We begin walking to the back towards the Z. When some guy comes out and starts bitching at us. he says "You go back there get a snake bite, sue me and i lose my buisness. You wanna shop goto the mall, you want parts you tell me what you want and ill go back there and get it." We had just drove 20 minutes to hear this sh*t. I explained to him that we had come to buy a large amount of parts. He then asked what car we were looking for. I looked him straight in the eye and said "We're going to the mall since were shopping for parts, we'll be taking our buisness elsewhere"

If you don't like the service their trying to sell you, don't buy it. The minute they think there incharge is the minute they will try to take advantage of you. Everytime my car was in the shop, i would stop by everyday after work. I would ask what they had done that day and how much longer until its done. If they said "We put a new headlight in today" Id ask if they could have done more in that day. The first time they took their dear sweet time. The second time, i let them know that i was incharge. The third time things that took 3 days the first time, took half a day this time.
