You don't know that garage chosen by the other party would do a good enough job; the other party does not know that the garage of your choice will do a cheap enough job.
The only way forward that I can see (without the trouble and cost of legal action) is a discussion where both parties are somewhat open-minded. I would suggest that you offer to get more than one quote, and that you check out the reputation of the garage proposed by the other party.
Thanks for your replies. I am still unclear as to my position. If the other party takes responsibility can I insist on a garage that I am happy with...
You can use whatever garage you want. If he gets overly awkward, put it through his insurance. If the quote is excessive, the insurance company may query it.
My car is not usable until I can get it fixed so I need to to sort it soon.
