What Floral Park customers can expect from us
Most collisions in Floral Park are mid-severity — not totaled, but more than a fender bender. That middle range is where adjusters and shops most often disagree on supplements. D. MacArthur Auto Body documents teardowns with photos and per-panel hour breakdowns so the supplement reads as fact, not opinion.
Floral Park sits in a northeast-side corridor with the surrounding areas — same general carrier mix as Floral Park, same insurance market. Floral Park customers often arrive on referrals from one of those neighbors, which is part of why Floral Park stays a steady source of intake.

Floral Park customer outcomes
Floral Park customer's vehicle had been in a previous unrelated accident — supplement documentation for the new claim required separating new damage from prior repair. Allstate approved the supplement on first submission.

Floral Park-specific patterns we see most often: tight-street side-swipes; deer strikes on belt parkway shoulder. Each Floral Park pattern produces a recognizable damage signature — bumper-and-fender for parking incidents, full-quarter for backing collisions, hood-and-grille for road-debris strikes. Floral Park intake calls usually identify themselves within the first thirty seconds of the description.

Floral Park driver questions
Do you tow vehicles to your shop?
Yes — we coordinate towing if your vehicle isn't drivable. Towing is usually billed through your insurance roadside coverage or as part of the claim.
What is a deductible?
Your deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket on a claim before insurance pays. Typical deductibles run $250–$1,500.
How much does paintless dent repair cost?
Single door ding $75–$200. Larger dents $200–$500. Multiple dents $300–$800. Full-vehicle hail damage is typically covered by comprehensive insurance.
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.
