I wouldn't. If its 100% the other person's fault you either pay to get it fixed where I want or go through insurance. I'm not getting estimates.
My wife had her car hit a few years ago and was going to get 3 estimates and I stopped her and told her to go to X store get your estimate give them the option to pay or call insurance. Saved her a ton of a time and headache. You shouldn't be given a favor for inconveniencing someone else (not trying to be rude or mean here just sort of stating where I am coming from).
