How much will it cost to fix this damage on my car?

It's a 2017 Chevy Volt. I have a $500 deductible on my insurance. They have recommended an 'approved' body shop to get this fixed that seems to be like an expensive place (based on online reviews). So I'd like to see if I can just get this fixed on my own at an independent body shop, so that my premiums don't go up.

Don't be a dumb arse, go to the approved shop and pay your $500.

Approved only means that if they write an estimate and the damage is more than the estimate they can just bill it without having another damage assessment done. You choose who fixes your car, not the ins company. Bring it to Fishers Collison in Gonzales and let him take care of you.

That will cost more than your deductible

Who did you hit? Trying to get rid of evidence?

Just drive it like it is. As a 17 year old girl you're likely to hit more stuff before finally getting the hang of this whole driving thing. Hang in there kiddo, you will get better.

Take it to a good body shop--approved or not. You only pay $500 regardless. They can't tell you where to take your car. The approved places will put used replacement parts on the car if that is what the insurance says. Take it where you will get brand new parts--insurance has to pay for it, they just try to get off cheap. Don't let them scare you by saying you might have to pay more if you don't go to one of their "approved" shops.

If the frame didn't move, and it's just the rockerpanel and front bumper, then probably ~2500-4000.
My car is currently in the shop with somewhat the same damage, but my frame moved 2 inches and my radiator busted. costing my insurance $6,000 to repair it.

Your insurance company already has noted you've been in wreck, since you called.
Prepare to be dropped soon.

Did that thing come with a dental dam?

Rub some dirt on it.

If you have been with the same company for a while your premiums won't go up for minor accidents, the big negative is it will show as a wreck on the carfax which could hurt relsale. I would say to fix that would cost you out of pocket $2500-3k
Need a new bumper and fender. (cheaper to replace fender than bill the hours of bodywork) The paint work is where it's high. If it's a shop that can get cheaper panels you may get it for $2k.
