I've had Geico since 2000, when I bought my first car since the 80s. I've never had a problem, and they're more than amenable to doing claims work the way you want. Last year some knucklehead backed into my Z3 Coupe, damaging the hood and breaking a headlight. Geico told me what shop to go with, but I told them who I wanted to use and they didn't bat an eye even though their adjuster knew the shop was high-end/no nonsense.
Overall, I've had three claims with Geico in the last dozen years and they've handled them well. More impressive when you consider that every single claim, the other parties made fraudulent statements trying to milk them. Maybe it's their attitude towards such shenanigans that earn them their rep.
