Damaged panels come off, photos are taken at every stage, hidden damage is documented for the supplement, and a final repair plan is built before parts are ordered. Customers see photos throughout.
Will my Tesla warranty be affected by collision repair?
Tesla warranties cover defects, not collision damage. Properly executed repair following manufacturer protocols preserves your warranty on unrelated components.
Do you work on luxury European cars?
Yes — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Range Rover, Volvo. Aluminum welding, factory paint match, OEM parts where required.
How long has D. MacArthur Auto Body been in business?
Family-operated on Springfield Boulevard since 1973 — over 50 years of bodywork for Queens, NYC, and Nassau drivers.
What if the at-fault driver is uninsured?
Your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage applies if you have it. Your deductible may differ from your collision deductible.
