Interesting. I tend to think that neither the estimator or shop have much experience with aluminum. Not that you're in this situation now that you'll get a new car, but I'd locate a shop that does a lot of high end cars and ask them for a second opinion.

At a minimum, I'd ask if they even have seperate tools and work area for aluminum. If they respond with "why would we do that?", just walk away.
