The check they sent, was it for the amount of repairs? As long as they don't try to pull a 'Full and final settlement' on you, the body shop most likely won't give you the car until they have check in hand. Since the shop guarantees their work hopefully you won't have a problem with the independent evaluation. Do you have the body shop/insurance co. guarantee in writing?

The body shop is most likely top shelf, but don't sign over the check until the repairs are completed.

Treat the rental car as a separate issue, no need in getting the body shop involved in that. Repairs don't usually take this long, between the delay issues with the 1st shop and the holidays I imagine the adjuster is having a hard time justifying to his boss a month rental on a $5,000.00 repair, but that's his problem not yours... How much was the original estimate?
