Why D. MacArthur

A body shop worth building a career at

50+ years, still family-run

On Springfield Boulevard since 1973. Same family, same crew, no franchise quotas — a shop where good work is noticed and rewarded.

Highly competitive pay

$18–$35 an hour depending on your experience and skill. Bring the craftsmanship and the pay reflects it — the better your work, the more you make.

Steady, year-round work

Direct insurance billing with every major NY carrier keeps a full, consistent flow of jobs on the floor. This isn't feast-or-famine.

Real equipment to work with

Downdraft spray booth, computerized frame rack, spectrophotometer color matching, aluminum welding, and in-house ADAS. The tools to do it right.

Craftsmanship is the standard

We back our work with a lifetime workmanship warranty — which means every job gets done properly, and craftsmen who care are the ones we keep.
