imo contact the bodyshop as well as the insurers to see if payment can be halted until you are satisfied and the car is at minimum safe

i had similar with a landy a few years ago but luckily the bodyshop agreed the work was substandard and redid the whole job as well as supplied a loan car from their pocket

100% correct
