Ya, that's very different from myself. What state do you live in?
My company also gives me a list of their preferred shops, although I have final say on who works on my truck. I prefer my own shops, and they worked with me on choice. I'm pretty picky when it comes to this truck, I've got many thousands in mods on it, and want things done the best possible.
Even after I get the truck repaired, I still have to take it to another shop to have ceramic reapplied, that comes out of my pocket. The ceramic shop will still have to do paint correction on the other side, and it wouldn't surprise me that they'll redo the whole truck. At least I expect that.

This ended up around $5,000 courtesy of a large doe. They did replace the fender even though it doesn't look damaged, it was bent. Bumper section as well. There was no damage to the hood or grill. It's amazing how quickly this stuff adds up. Shop did an awesome job...everything was perfect.

If I could get a 2015 with 155k and we'll maintained for 5500, I'd buy that all day. Even with the doors needing replaced. I'd replace doors and rock it as is for 5500. Someone else in your area would too. I suggest looking at marketplace values of similar trucks to yours before letting them total it out for that.

If it were me I'd replace the doors with ones from the wrecker and live with the small dents in the pillar and rocker. They look pretty small in the photos.

The tiny pillar and rocker dents are battle scars. Throw some doors on it and truck on mang.
