If my car was stolen and recovered, do I have a choice as to where I can bring it to be repaired?
My insurance adjuster said that I could take it to my trusted repair shop, however I would have to pay my deductible, and 20% of the repair cost but if I take it to one of the insurance company’s places, then I would not. I am fully covered. is this legal?

Sure, it's legal, if that is what your insurance policy says. Most people never actually read their insurance policies. But if the policy says that if you go off campus then you have to pay your deductible plus 20%, then that term is going to be enforceable against you.
