Why Roosevelt drivers pick D. MacArthur for auto body repair
A body shop without a downdraft paint booth is a body shop guessing on color. D.

Roosevelt-specific patterns we see most often: tight residential street side-swipes; commercial vehicle work. Each Roosevelt pattern produces a recognizable damage signature — bumper-and-fender for parking incidents, full-quarter for backing collisions, hood-and-grille for road-debris strikes.

Yes — text or email photos of the damage for a preliminary estimate. Final estimate requires in-person inspection but photo estimate gets you a realistic ballpark.
What if my insurance estimate is too low?
Initial estimates often miss hidden damage. We document teardown with photos and submit a supplement to your adjuster — typically approved within days.

Minor jobs $800–$2,500. Mid-sized $2,500–$8,000. Major structural $8,000–$25,000+. We give a written, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Can you match my car's paint color?
Yes — we use spectrophotometer color matching from your actual paint, not just the paint code. Single panel blends or full repaints.
