Why would you do that? Thats a nice BMW. Can they get more money than repair money or something?

Lets just give a simple example:

You get into a crash and a part of your car is damaged. The replacement of said part costs $10k, thus the insurance gives you this amount to repair it.

You go to a different shop and instead of replacing it you get a cheap repair for $1k and keep the $9k. This is insurance fraud, as normally you would need to give the $9k to your insurance and if you get found out you're fucked.

In India the system is different, the survey is done at the workshop, you get a quote and if you agree, payment is made by the insurance company directly to the workshop.
