Unfortunately, no. If there is still a lender on the vehicle, your insurance will issue a two-part check made out to you and the lender or you and the body shop of your choice. This is because the lender is part owner of your car. They want to insure the repairs are paid for. You CAN have them split the payment between the two body shops how you like. Remember that different body shops have different labor rates, and they are not responsible to pay the difference if "your" shop charges more.

Do you have a loan on the car? The insurance company will usually either make out a check to you and the body shop or you and whoever your loan is thru, to make sure that repairs are made. Check with the body shop and or insurance company.

No, the body shop will not give you the car half done. The ins co paid them to do all the repairs and the body shop is responsible for their work. They have no assurance you will get the rest of the work will be done or if you do the quality of the second shop.
