Sue the repair shop.

I would start by making a claim against the repair shop and its insurer. If that did not work you should then make a claim against your own auto insurance company under the comprehensive coverage under your own auto insurance policy. You would have to eat the deductible but your insurer would then, in turn, make a claim over and against the repair shop and if successful would reimburse you for the deductible. Be sure to report this event to your own insurer ASAP.
