Don’t get me started on repair shops and car insurance. Regarding your #1, the problem is that the payer isn’t the person who benefits. In other words, because you’re not paying for it with cash, you really don’t care what it costs. The shop has every incentive to push up the repair price. That means the insurer pays more, then raises rates, and the circle of life is complete.
