No, that would be plenty legally binding if you end up having to go to small claims court or something.
But frankly, if he doesn't want the insurance company involved, you should be dropping it off at a good body shop and he should be paying the bill. If that's too expensive for him, he needs to call his insurance company. The simply fact you didn't go straight to his insurance company is already a big enough favor... cutting corners on the repair or bending over backwards to try to get it fixed on the cheap sound excessive... afterall, he broke your car and should take care of making things right.
