So what do you guys think? Inform the insurance company directly or just talk to my indy shop directly and gently inform him of the options?
Lastly, talk to an attorney???
Thanks!

By all means tell your insurer. If they can prove that the fire was due to the negligence of the repair shop, they should attempt to recover from the shop's garage keepers liability insurer (including your deductible).
Since you will only be out your deductible at most, it will not likely be worth any lawyers time.
