Worst

I spent $480 to have one rear door repainted and to have a dent fixed. I was promised that the paint would match exactly. It doesn't. The car is two-tone, and the top color is too...

You get less than you pay for. 5/27/2010

Not a complete rip off but a pretty crappy paint job overall. I brought in an older SUV with a few rust spots and parking lot dings for a fresh paint job. Chose the medium grade one part paint. The body work was done alright but the paint job is really amateurish which is hard to imagine in a place that does nothing but paint cars. Drips, craters, overspray. Basically a crap paint job. It was impossible to see these sorts of defects in their below ground poorly lit garage so I haven't had a chance to talk to them yet. I don't expect anything but to be blown off. Car interior was messy and they got paint on the car key. . more

Maaco is a piece of sh*t 9/11/2008

Never go to Maaco. They will give you a bogus estimate and will actually make your car worse, not better. On top of that, they will not reimburse you if you are not satisfied with their quality of work. The mechanics and the manager of the shop are disrespectful and honestly do not have common sense of ethical business customer service. At the end of the day, employees go home thinking it is okay to treat their customers with outright disrespect. The main point is that Maaco could care less about you, your money, and your car! more

Telling anyone who will listen not to come here!! 9/10/2008

Here was my formal complaint to the BBB...\r "I was given the hard sell when I first came in & was told that they were having a slow week & they would give me a discount if I left my car this week. I went to pick up my car & it was not ready on Friday, 9/5, as promised. I was promised a reimbursement for the car rental for the extra day but there was no reimbursement check when I went to pick it up the next day. Upon pick up, it was dark & I noticed a couple things that were wrong right off the bat. I was told that I could go over them with the Manager on Monday because I wanted to get into the light and inspect more closely. I went to get in the car and found that there was paint dust/residue ALL over the place. All over the seats, carpeting, dash, cupholders, storage slots, etc. I asked if they could clean it and they said they didn't have time. So I asked if I could get a refund and the young man rudely said "Then go get your money back". I mean my car now requires a full interior de more

Do not go to the Maaco in Somerville, MA!! 9/10/2008

I was given the hard sell when I first came in & was told that they were having a slow week & they would give me a discount if I left my car this week. I went to pick up my car & it was not ready when they said it ws going to be. I was promised a reimbursement for the car rental for the extra day but there was no reimbursement check when I went to pick it up the next day. Upon pick up, I went to get in the car & found that there was paint dust/residue ALL over the place. All over the seats, carpeting, dash, cupholders, storage slots, etc. I asked if they could clean it & they said they didn't have time. So I asked if I could get a refund & the young man rudely said "Then go get your money back". I left feeling uncomfortable & noticed that they just wanted to get out of there because it was close to closing time. Upon further inspection I found: *my glass window was painted on, along with my side mirror; *my windshield wipers, mud guards, and tires were covered in wax and other oversprayed products; *a hole in my bumper was not fixed, just painted over; *scratches on my bumper were not fixed, just painted over; *scratches on my rear spoiler were not fixed, just painted over; *there was a new scratch on my trunk; *there was a new scratch in the front of my car on the right of the windshield (behind the side mirror); *there was bubbling paint on my front bumper; *and to top it all of there was a roll of green tape left in my car. Even though I was pressured to leave my car there because 'business was slow', my car was not ready when they promised it would be. The rental I was supposed to receive for free, I had to pay for. Overall, I felt that they rushed the job as evident by the roll of green tape left in my car & the dust all over the interior with no clean-up. I tried to contact the Manager & Maaco Customer Service line but they did not want to offer me any type of refund. Save yourself the time and aggravation. Pros: still thinking Cons: one of the worst car experiences I've ever had more

Not at all as promised. 9/16/2006

I spent $480 to have one rear door repainted and to have a dent fixed. I was promised that the paint would match exactly. It doesn't. The car is two-tone, and the top color is too light. The bottom color which was only "touched up" was touched up with silver instead of beige. It looks worse than before. Also, they spilled a silver paint patch onto the blue, left a silver thumbprint on the blue, and didn't sand the touched up paint. The former dent looked pretty good, though not perfect as promised. Matching paint was also promised, and they didn't deliver. When I pointed these things out, the rep became hostile with me, saying I shouldn't expect any better, then said I could bring it back to be redone. But then he refused to take any money off the estimate at all, even though it wasn't done right and now I have to bring it back and leave it for ANOTHER 3 or 4 days. PROS: Charming service at estimate time, body work (not painting) ok. CONS: Shoddy workmanship, unfair treatment. more

Our body repair technicians have mastered the method of eliminating those blemishes down to a Five-Step Process to ensure that your finish is free from those small dents and unsightly scratches. Step 2: Surface Preparation - You know those chips,scratches,cracks and excessive peeling on your vehicle? If left untreated and exposed to the elements over time,these conditions could ultimately ruin your paint job. At Maaco,our estimators examine your vehicle and suggest condition repairs. We offer affordable surface prep options that ensure your MAACOVER looks great. A little surface repair before the paint goes on can ensure it holds that gloss and shine for years to come. Step 3: Surface Sealer - Sealer plays that all-important role of establishing a barrier between the old and new paint. This ensures consistent color and a higher gloss throughout the entire painted surface. At Maaco we offer 3 grades of sealer. The right choice is all about durability,and ultimately the amount of prep work needed for your particular vehicle. When it comes to the durability of your vehicle's paint,sealer helps keep consistent shine long after the job is done. Step 4: Paint Services - We offer three paint packages tailored to your specific needs and budget concerns: Basic,Preferred and Premium. What makes each of the three services unique all comes down to two factors: Longevity of the paint,which includes warranty/durability,and the appearance of the paint,which includes gloss,color match,and metallic appearance. Step 5: Protection & Services - A great paint job deserves great protection. We often apply clear coats to our paint jobs to not only protect the paint,but to ensure an accurate gloss match and an overall seamless repair.
