    Insurance companies oftentimes will make a low first offer for property damage to cars damaged by negligent drivers.  Insurance carriers for at-fault parties are responsible for the fair market value of property damage.  It is recommended that an independent appraisal from the dealership be obtained.  Alternatively, there are many online sources that will give you a range of fair market value for the property damage done to your vehicle.
