If my boyfriend wrecked my car and now won’t pay for it, canI take the matter to small claims court?

A year ago my ex ran my car into a tree and promised to pay for the damages to it. There were no reports made. He agreed to give me $1000 for it and is now going back on that. I have a lot of text messages and witnesses to prove he did it and I’m tired of waiting for his honesty to kick in. Can I take this to small claims court? And if so what would the possible outcome be?
