This is ESPECIALLY true on claims where either you're at fault or no fault (although that doesn't really apply to the discussion on this thread since it's for MBI)
I have Geico including MBI but I am still under OEM warranty. Someone hit my passenger side and disappeared (while I was parked). Dents on both passenger side doors. One of the GEICO approved body shops is from a company that has two local BMW dealerships. So I used that one. They first tried to repair the dents but weren't happy with the outcome and with GEICO's immediate approval, ordered replacement doors (they said doors but I assume they mean door skins). The order was with BMW.

I am supposed to get the car back on Monday.
