You can sue the auto dealership for negligence. Negligence is the failure to exercise due care (that degree of care that a reasonable auto dealership would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances to prevent foreseeable harm).
Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would be compensation for what was caused by the faulty brake repair such as cost of repairs to your vehicle from the accident.
