A body shop without a downdraft paint booth is a body shop guessing on color. D. MacArthur Auto Body's booth at the Springfield Boulevard location runs spectrophotometer-matched paint with a controlled cure cycle, which is why Manhasset cars don't come back six months later with off-color panels visible in Nassau County sunlight.
Manhasset-specific patterns we see most often: low-speed parking scuffs at retail centers; luxury european paint match jobs. Each Manhasset pattern produces a recognizable damage signature — bumper-and-fender for parking incidents, full-quarter for backing collisions, hood-and-grille for road-debris strikes. Manhasset intake calls usually identify themselves within the first thirty seconds of the description.

Process questions from Manhasset customers
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. Under New York Insurance Law §2610, you have the right to choose any licensed body shop. Your insurer cannot require you to use a specific shop.
Do you do third-party liability work?
Yes. If you're not at fault, the at-fault driver's carrier pays — sometimes including your rental, deductible reimbursement, and diminished value.
Do you offer a warranty on body shop work?
Yes — lifetime workmanship warranty against paint failure, peeling, and repair workmanship defects for as long as you own the vehicle.
Do you do hail damage claims?
Yes. We file with your carrier and submit panel-by-panel damage maps. Comprehensive coverage typically waives glass deductible.
Can my carrier total my car?
Yes — if repair cost exceeds a percentage of book value (varies by carrier, often 70–80%). We can advise whether the math favors repair or total.
Can I get an estimate by sending photos?
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.
