If you are in a car accident and you get insurance money to fix your car, is it illegal to use that money for something else?

I don't think so - but state laws, as well as the provisions of the contract - may vary.
If they give you 5k to fix a car, and you find a good mechanic who will do it for 2k, what else would you do with the rest?

Exactly. We got money to have our van's tailgate 'repaired'. It should have been replaced but the value of the van was less than replacement cost. We got $2500. Dh was able to find a tailgate the same color at a junkyard and installed it himself. We pocketed the rest. Dh considered it his finders fee and labor

I don't think there would be anything wrong at all with pocketing ALL the money if you own the vehicle outright.

No, it was over 10 years old by then.
