Was wondering if anyone that has access to one of these shops has ever had a car repaired there. Its known for its very low prices for body work and i got a nice dent with some paint chipping on the trunk but i don't want my baby to get a halfass repair.

Danke

 

I use to take my old cars to Maaco since I knew the guy. It was cheap enough that I never used my insurance but at the same time, I didnt get any bigger jobs done thru these guys...just the bumper repaint...thast it. HIT OR MISS kind of deal with Maaco

Why get an AUDI and take it to MAACO? [sm=dontgetit.gif]

 

why pay an *** more to get the same job done

 

I take it you've never seen what kind of work they do there...

 

Same job? [sm=smiley36.gif]


Why not do it yourself with a paint brush? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]


Forget the brush -- just use a paper towel! [sm=happy046.gif]

 

when me and my friends see a car with a poor paint job we always joke and call it a "maaco" paint job. so i would go ahead and look into some local shops. also i work at a dodge dealership and they do an amazing job. (they paint lots of vipers). so look around at some and dont worry about how cheap it is.

 

My brother-in-law had is 86 Sable painted at Maaco a long time ago and man did it look like ****. IIRC they only use a one step paint instead of the two step oem uses. Spray paint is a one step fwiw. His car looked like one of those cars you see at a stoplight which has clearly been repainted with a spraycan from Walmart. They did a great job, but with subpar paint, shitty prep work, and no incentive to do a good job it looked crappy. You can always tell a Maaco car, whenever you see...lets say a Camry with a bumper that is slightly off in color and it just doesn't have the same texture/shine, you know they cheaped out.

I have no doubt that Maaco can do good work if given the right paint and money.

But that isn't why you go to Maaco now is it.

in maacos defense there are good locations but the are FEW and FAR between lol ... if you are around mongomeryville PA the maaco there is very good but every other one ive been to SUCKED ... my friend had his camrey painted orange(dont ask my why goofy kid) and they somehow managed to spray paint his steering wheel?!?!

but the maaco in montgomeryville is def legit
