Default car has been written off!Advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi folks,I would really appreciate some help/ advice.
While my car was parked someone crashed into the front side.
The guy who crashed into my car has accepted full blame and provided me with his insurance details.
I went to a local garage and they uplifted my car(managed to drive it)and got me sorted out with a courtesy car and actually dealt with everything.
I received a letter saying that my car had been written off and was offered £1,700 for my car,a 2004 Ford Fiesta.
I have phoned the garage where my car is to ask what to do next and they told me that even though my car has been written off they will repair it for me if I take the cheque to them directly under a category D?
Does this sound ok/legit?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated as I have no experience with this sort of thing.
Thank you.
