Allstate owns many body shops. This is a tactic for steering you towards a body shop that they own, which helps control their costs.
Legally, you are entitled to take the car anywhere you want for repair and the insurer must reimburse you a "reasonable" amount. $853 doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
