My Fender Was Hit

[Mr Fire]

Hello folks,
So, my car was parked down a small hill, and this guy parked on top of the hill.
He was trying to pull out but he slid all the way down and hit my car on the fender . The finder is damaged and the door has some scratched and I cannot open the driver's door anymore because it will hit the bent fender.
He has Geico insurance and his insurance told me that the damaged will be covered %100. My car is 2014 2SS Camaro and his is a 2006 Toyota.
Geico told me I have to have them see my car so they can estimate the cost of the repair to give me a check and I can fix it anywhere I want. But I am worried that they are gonna estimate it with aftermarket parts. Are there any suggestion to what I should do and how I should fix my car? I live in PA, does anyone know a good body shop who will be able to match the color of my car with the painted new fender?
And here are the pictures:

Snow or ice make him slip?

I hate winter.

Hope it comes out fine for you.

I would call MY agent and ask him your questions, he is there to help you.

Ice. In fact, I almost spent and hour trying to go up the hill although it was less than 15 meters.
I will call me agent, thank you.

Damn that sucks!

Just because they offer you a check also doesn't mean you have to accept it. Go get your own quotes at some body shops using OEM parts. If their quote is off then show them the quotes you got.

Insurance claims are always negotiable, you don't have to accept what they offer you.

From my limited experience, Geico will do you right. The way it was explained to me is they estimate the cost and when and if the cost is more they'll cover the extra cost through the repairer.

That relieves me, thanks guys.
My car is in a perfect condition and I bought it new and it has now less than 10k miles on it.
How much of it's value is gonna drop after this unforgettable accident do you think?
Geek said they will give me a free rental car, but Enterprise only gives me a car if I am over 20 years old, which I am not. Is there any other rental company that would give rent me a car if I am under 20 years old?

Usually they will pay for OEM parts for the first two years of a vehicle, after the vehicle is two years old they go with aftermarket parts

Don't think so....usually minimum rental age is 21, and some are 25.

That stinks. my car was hit yesterday too.

If you go to the dealership to get your car fixed you wont have to worry about them using aftermarket parts

I have a similar hit. Just in my case the driver kept going and I only saw it the morning after it happened. I still believe it was a plow truck. I got a $1200 quote for paint matching and all that crap. I also don't think there are any aftermarket fenders for this car.
