The insurance company may have a deal with the repairers, so they're able to get repairs done cheaper than you can. If that's the case, it may be cheaper (on average) to have insurance than not to.

To the extent that they get special pricing, the insurance company will be pocketing the difference as extra profit, not passing it on to you.
