i took my car to clive maaco after hitting a deer in nov, a week later i drove by and it was still sitting in the same spot untouched. i called pat (the owner) and she told me that she was waiting on the insurance company. i called my insurance company and the claims adjuster said that they had sent maaco the check the day i dropped my car off, long story shorter, when i finally got my car back yet another week later i was told that the dirt in the clear coat on the hood would come off in a couple of car washes, yeah right. and i suppose the run on my bumper is "extra paint" took to have them fix it and wouldnt ya know it, they had a prob with it and had to keep it 2 more days and still didnt get paint on the bottom of the bumper. so if you like the run around and like to feel stupid then by all means go to pat or eric at clive maaco. cheaper way to go?? figure the time and the hassle and the headaches it would have been better to go to a dealer, if you have insurance go to a quality place and look in thier parking lot if it has junk in it guess what they will give you back.
Pros: cheap
Cons: get what you pay for maybe less
