Default Towing damage help (not towed on 2 wheels issue)

My towing damage acctually doesnt involve being towed without a flatbed truck. When i had my car towed it was put on the back of a flat bed and strapped down. As the tow truck was following me out of the parking lot the car came loose in the back and the car rolled forward and hit a bar damaging the hood, light, front apron and grill. The company owns a repair shop and obviously wanted me to take it there, but i got a quote from another repair shop and told them i would fix it there. So they offered to fix it at their place a long with other things trying to intice me. They want to pay for it without informing their inurance company by paying a repair shop directly and obviously giving me trouble about the price. After i informed them that i will be having it fixed at another body shop they said they would have to look at the damage and then make a decision. My question is can i just tell them i want a check for the damage and get it fixed on my own. I am sure they are going to quote me less for the damage and then refuse to pay and say they can fix it cheaper. Should I even let them look at the car if it has nothing to do with their insurance company? I really dont want to go to court to get this settled. They told me they dont want to pay that much money to fix a 7 year old car. Any ideas on what i could do as I have no experience in this?
