More details to this question:
Had accident 9.16.17. Insurance immediately accepted liability. Car was in shop for almost 3 months! When received the car back I noticed a "spot touch" repair on the passenger door. The estimate states to have the entire door repainted and clear coated. They state in final bill that said painting was done and it wasnt. I was also informed that I should have signed a release to give permission to work on the car, which they never gave me. Does that play for me or against me? What can i do here?

You need to start with addressing this with your insurance company if they recommended the shop. Otherwise you have a contract suit that may not be fianancially viable to pursue. The "release" you reference is likely a Fla. Stat. 559 estimate disclsoure/waiver.
