If it was "not important", Volvo would not have built the car with it, now would they? Every part is there for a reason. Obviously this piece has a function. If you've paid for insurance that covered this type of incident or damage, it is incumbent upon the insurer to make you (in this case your car) whole again. If the shop refuses to perform work that restores the vehicle to it's condition prior to the incident, then you would have to either take the vehicle from them, go somewhere else, and submit that additional bill to the insurance company; or go to your insurance company and essentially have them instruct the mechanic/shop to perform the work or risk denial of the payment.

Now as for the question of why you're letting Chevy-factory-trained idiots work on your Volvo, I can't help you there. Perhaps the whole job should be done by another shop that has some familiarity with the vehicle they're servicing.
In my experience, ONLY Volvo shops should work on Volvos!
