I see lots of people are just parroting insurance PR of “repair costs are up”. I’d love to see the data and see if it justifies the hikes in insurance costs I’d also love to see the average repair cost by part, broken down by whether it’s the insurance company paying or an average Joe privately

People choosing to drive more expensive (and physically punishing in the event of a collision) vehicles is some part of it. But insurance companies like that, so they're not about to include that in their PR script.
