I believe the shop was driving my car and wrecked it, then tried to hide it. What can I do?
Tint shop damaged my car…Placing liability on employees insurance, numerous
unreturned calls. The shop owner repeatedly told me not to call the insurance,
after multiple days I did. Now the car is repaired at my expense.

You can sue them for the repair costs. When someone either deliberately or (more likely here) negligently or carelessly damages your property, including your car, they are liable for the cost of the damage. To recover money from them, as the party suing (the plaintiff), you'd need to be able to prove in court that they caused the damage.
