Everything that happened to nfl3125 we too went threw. My Husband and I took out 2003 Honda Civic in to get a new paint job done because the original had started to wear thin and flake. Sean was also the person we first dealt with and was told the same thing right down to he was giving us a discount. We were never told that there are levels of sanding that can be done, we weren't told about a sealer that we can have put on the car to keep old problems from bleeding thew and into the new paint job, we weren't told that the jams would not be done, and when asked if with the warranty the car could be taken to any Maaco they said yes. (never mentioning that there is a 50 mile clause in there) We didn't find any of this out until after the paint job was done. We picked up the car and it was also covered in dust, there was a bunch of over spray on the lights, they pained over the key holes on the doors. When they did sand or buff the car they went over the head lights, tail lights, and chrome on the front of the car. It had bubbles galore all over it. We then talked to the owner that location and he said oh no worries bring it back in 3-4 weeks and we will de nib it and she will look great. We went ok, we had never had a car painted before so we just went with it. We took it back after 4 weeks of letting the paint cure and when we got it back again it was covered in dust even though they cleaned it. I had to ask for a cloth to wipe it down because I already had a bad feeling about it, the feeling was right, there was still a lot of pitting, there was damage done to a sprayer nozzle, there was a new gouge in the back bumper and more. I was pissed! I snapped after seeing all the damages done in total to the car and after dealing with Sean again and him saying on there wasn't anything else that can be done and that they didn't do anything I asked for the owner who I snapped on since he was the one who promised that everything would be great when it was all done. While pointing to the car asked the owner what the F**** is this, he stormed off saying how he doesn't need to be attacked. What a joke that guy is. Now granted I shouldn't have used foul language but in that moment seeing dollar signs flying out the door and thinking we paint 1k for this I really did lose it and said the first thing that came into my head. Last I knew asking a question even with a swear word in it wasn't attacking a person. Just to get the car somewhat fixed back up is going to be almost 400 dollars and that is to touch up the pain job they screwed up along with the nozzle they broke. That doesn't include the cost to get the chrome fixed or replaced or the head lights or tail lights. In all we will probably end up spending close to fix the car as what we were charged to paint it. Oh and don't bother with their corporate office, those guys are a joke as well all they say is there isn't anything they can do because each Maaco is privately owned! Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this one as you can!
