Frequently asked questions about dent repair & pdr in Staten Island
What does the disassembly process look like?
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.
How much does a full repaint cost?
Single-stage repaint $3,500–$5,500. Two-stage with clearcoat $5,500–$8,500. Tri-coat pearl or custom color $8,500–$15,000. Prep labor is usually 60% of the total.
What's the difference between a chain shop and a family shop?
Chain shops have rotating crews and franchise quotas. Family shops keep the same techs for years. Same person who did your work in 2018 still works the floor today.
Can you repair the Cybertruck's stainless panels?
Yes, including panel replacement and refinishing. Cybertruck's stainless panel system has specific OEM-replacement procedures we follow.
