If my daughter works for an insurance company and her dad owns auto body shop, is this a conflict of interest?
There are 2 insurance companies in the county and 2 auto body shops in the county. It is a very small community. At one insurance company, a young lady works there and her dad owns a auto body shop. Would this be considered a
conflict of interest?

There is no law against "conflicts of interest" or sending business to a family member (or friend): this happens all the time and is generally legal. There are good reasons why the insurer should not allow this--for example, there is a good chance they are not getting competitive pricing--but if they are willing to allow it, it is legal.
