There are a few options but a direct answer to your question is that you can't prevent the insurer making that decision unless you can find another garage to do the repairs cheap enough to make the insurer reconsider. Have you thought about getting it done privately and not claiming ( depends on circumstances ). You can buy back the salvage from the insurer and they will simply deduct the amount agreed with you from their final cheque to you but you need to consider more. Depending on the catatory of write off depends on the tasks required to get it back on the road and insured. Any idea if c or d write off yet?
