I think each insurance have their list of preferred mechanics/garages.
Haven't heard of an insurance complaining of costs (If the price too high they will/or should write-off the car!). (or may be this depends on which insurance company).
If your premiums are up to date and the car valued accurately they should fix it with ease whatever the cost.

So assuming I go the insurance route, which garage does quality work at an affordable price (otherwise the insurance company will complain)?

+1.
Just the windscreen will set you back at least 16-24k. If you have
comprehensive insurance, use it and have your wing + door replaced as
well, rather than repaired.

You lose out on the no-claim discount on your renewal but your car
ends up as good as accident-free.
