My response:

So, you "wrecked" his car.

I don't understand your question. What do you mean by "the best way" to pay for his damages that you caused ?

Paying the Auto Body Shop with cash, check, or money order do quite nicely.

what i mean is, is it better to let his insurance cover it and pay him back or pay the autobody shop bill, or take the payments over on the car and get the car in my name and let his insurance company pay to get the car fixed.

My response:

The only way I can answer this for you is by telling you that any method that the two of you can agree to is the best method. If his insurance pays, then you pay him the deductible, and you'll be getting a call from his insurance company for reimbursement. Or, you can leave the insurance company out of it altogether, and just pay the Body Shop directly.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, it really doesn't matter. It's all money, and it's all going to come out of your pocket in one manner or the other. So, whatever method you two guys agree to is the way to handle this situation.
