The answer to your question is yes: you can sue anyone for anything in this country; Just because you can, however, doesn't always mean one should. If the damages are under $10,000, file a small claims lawsuit against the body shop for the shoddy work done. You probably will need a repair report from an indepdendent repair shop indicating what work needs to be done on your vehicle to make it correct and what the cost may be. If the case goes to trial, someone from that body shop would have to testify in court in your behalf.
