Roosevelt customers and D. MacArthur Auto Body
Body shop work that holds value comes down to three things: factory-spec procedures, OEM parts where it matters, and proper paint cure. Roosevelt customers who skip those at a low-bid shop usually find out at trade-in time, when the dealer's appraiser deducts thousands for visible repair history.
Roosevelt runs against Nassau University Medical Center and Roosevelt Field — landmarks Roosevelt customers reference when describing where the damage happened. The repair plan for Roosevelt accounts for the kind of conditions Roosevelt drivers actually face: tight residential street side-swipes are routine intake from Roosevelt at this shop.

Roosevelt customer questions
Can I get a rental car during repair?
If your policy includes rental coverage, your carrier arranges a rental directly. Most policies cover $30–50/day for 14–30 days.
How long does collision repair take?
Small bumper jobs turn around in 2–3 days. Mid-sized repairs run 1–2 weeks. Major structural repairs run 2–4 weeks depending on parts availability.
How do you handle ADAS recalibration?
Modern vehicles need camera, radar, and lidar recalibration after windshield, bumper, or panel work that moves a sensor. We perform manufacturer-spec calibration in-house or sublet to a Tesla/Mercedes-certified facility for OEM lock.
Do you repair Tesla and EV vehicles?
Yes — Tesla, Rivian, Polestar, Lucid, and other EV bodywork — including aluminum panel repair, high-voltage system de-energization, ADAS recalibration, and structural work on Tesla's bonded-aluminum chassis.
Can I keep my totaled car?
Yes — you can buy back the salvage from the carrier. The settlement is reduced by the salvage value. Sometimes makes sense for older vehicles or specialty cars.
Do you offer pickup and delivery?
Yes — free pickup and delivery, plus a free shuttle to the train or your home. Call (718) 723-6163 to set it up.
What insurance carriers do you work with?
Every major NY carrier — GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, Liberty Mutual, USAA, Nationwide, Travelers, Farmers, MetLife, Esurance, AAA, plus local and specialty carriers.
