What does insurance claim help cost for Brooklyn drivers?
Insurance claim work is billed to the carrier, not you. Your out-of-pocket is your deductible only (or nothing in third-party claims). Brooklyn drivers see the same itemized estimate format every other shop submits to your carrier — parts, paint, labor hours, and consumables broken out line by line, no vague "shop time" markup hiding the real numbers. Distance from Brooklyn varies by neighborhood; the 41 Brooklyn neighborhoods we serve range from 5.0 to 15.0 miles from 136-31 Springfield Blvd.
Send a few photos and we'll get you a written estimate, no obligation.

Frequently asked questions about insurance claim help in Brooklyn
Do you do paint matching or just paint replacement?
Both. Spot blends within a panel, edge-to-edge respray, and full vehicle refinish — we match factory color codes with spectrophotometer reads, not just stock paint codes.
Do you de-energize the EV battery before repair?
Yes. Any structural repair that approaches the high-voltage system requires battery isolation per manufacturer protocol. We follow Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid procedures.
Do you do commercial vehicle body work?
Yes — TLC, delivery, fleet, and small commercial vehicles. Call for fleet rates.
What makes D. MacArthur different from other body shops?
Same family, same crew, same standards since 1973. No franchise quotas, no rotating staff, no upselling. 4.8★ Google rating across active reviews.
Do I need to file a police report after a collision?
NY requires a police report for any accident with injuries or damage over $1,001. Reports help with insurance claims regardless of dollar amount.
How much does frame straightening cost?
Minor unibody pull $1,200–$2,500. Major structural repair $3,500–$8,000+. Includes computerized measurement, pull operations, and final geometry verification.
How do I know if my repair was done right?
Panel gaps even and consistent. Paint color matches under multiple lighting conditions. No overspray, no drip marks, no taped-off lines. We walk you through inspection at delivery.
Do you do ADAS calibration on Teslas?
Yes. Camera and sensor recalibration is required after windshield, bumper, or quarter-panel work on Tesla vehicles. We follow OEM procedures or sublet to a Tesla-certified calibration shop for warranty lock.
