I WANT MY MONEY BACK.THIS PAINT JOD IS DISAPPOINTING.Vince Wilson is a thief and liar.
Maaco locations consistently receive complaints about poor paint quality (overspray, peeling, rough finishes), significant delays beyond promised timelines, and unprofessional or hostile staff behavior. Customers report missing or damaged parts after service, inadequate responses from management, and difficulty reaching corporate for resolution despite warranty claims.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK.THIS PAINT JOD IS DISAPPOINTING.Vince Wilson is a thief and liar.
Went in to get my car repainted a new color. They said it will take a week and a half and it actually taken them 3 and half weeks to get it done. About 3 months later the paint already started to peel off.
Their so call warranty is suppose to last 3 years. They try to charge me to repaint it again even though the warranty covers the paint if it starts peeling.
They quoted me one thing, and then charged me more for things they didn't even bother telling me about until the day I picked the car up. Seemed to be the way they do business. Not shocking I'm adding another bad review to this one star rated facility.
Had to get truck painted twice and they done worse than the first ..we called corporate and they said they investigated our complaint but she never got back to us after we sent pictures of what they done to my truck..I am very disappointed in macco and would not recommend them to nobody!!!! And there corporate office is just as bad as the macco shop in Hickory , Nc .Again one big Ripp off...yours Truly Jason See
I contacted 2 different maacos in my area (4515 N Dixie Hwy Oakland Park, FL 33334 and 4907 N. University Dr Lauderhill, FL 33351) to inquire about the advertised paint specials;$399 and $499. The first location explained to me that they do offer both but it is never that price.
It usually turns out to be $600 and up. I inquired as to why this is and was told that they change for masking the car, preparing the vehicle, add additives to the paint (hardener and other components) and there are different types of paints.
The cheapest at $600 would be the enamel paint. I explained to the manager that I already prep the vehicle by sanding it down with 320 then 600 grit sandpaper. He said they will still need to charge for prep.
I contacted the second shop who said to me, “ it’s like Mac…
Dropped my car off to fix 2 spots on my bumper that were missing clear coat when they called me yesterday they told me that while they were removing the tape that it messed up the paint on another panel and they would split the cost w me but I had to pay to have it fixed I worked a double yesterday last night I rode by there to see my car it was left unlocked, dirty inside and
out and there are several places that have issues on the car my car was well kept just had detailed it the day before dropping it off so I have pictures to prove my car was in good shape the owner was beyond rude and I want my car fixed as it was when I dropped it off he refused to help
00 dollars cheaper they were honest enough to tell me the turn around time was 2 to 3 weeks out, I spent the extra money solely to get my vehicle back in the time frame i had to have it in, I explained to the office manager that I coming to get my car Friday at 845 AM and it needs to be completed and I expect absolutly no added fees, this is defrauding a patron and is illegal in Washington state, if my car is not ready by said time on Friday I will be pursuing this to great lengths.

Memphis, TN 38115 on 08/22/21. 00 to paint and fix 8 dings on my black car. To date I have gone back 5 times (4 of them they called me). The car has not been corrected the small ding on the trunk has visible cracks in the body filler.
There are dry spots and orange peel everywhere. A new crew came in to help them from out of town and it still has not been redone. I paid Bill in full after the first visit. He assured me that my car would be redone.
00 dollars( it had better be unblemished). (not without Corporate direction). I have been without my car for almost 2 months and now Summer is over! If I do not here from Bill in 48 hrs. I will file a lawsuit and do my best to end this most unprofessional franchised business that I have ever encountered.

After leaving my 1990 Lexus LS400 for body work with Maaco over 6 months, I returned to get the mileage information today because I changed the status of the car to antique. What I found was unacceptable. My middle console was totally destroyed my radio on the floor and harness cut to pieces.
I brought this to Barry Pursell - Sales Manager at the location and he had no clue how this could have happen to my car. " This is outrageous that my car was vandalized while on Maaco Property.
I’m complaining about the macco on sunrise blvd in rancho Cordova Ca , one of the owners there been having my car there for about 4 months and also charged me for 5 hours to fix two small minor dents in a door you couldn’t even tell there was a dent there but my main complaint is about how long they have had my car I already paid them so that’s why I think there taking so long with my car
Work was done at store M2652. Invoice #7385. I call about this Complaint on 9/17/21. No one has called me back as of yet. I paid for the Premium Base/Clear Coat service. My paint job has No shine. I complained to Don right away.
He came out & look at it. That was it. The truck was dirty I'm thinking after I wash it I could see the paint job better. Not at all, it's the same 1 stage from flat. I called Don he said ill take a look at it. Bring it back Tuesday.
Tuesday he rubbing on the truck, no need to rub on it just look. it's 1 stage from flat. I left Maaco went to 3 other body shops. Shop (1) before he walk all the way up to the truck & said that's a terrible paint job it needs to be repainted.
Shop (2) look at it & said I need to get my money back or file a complaint with the courts.…

Already filled a complaint a week ago.
Also tried calling the (704) 644-8148 number several times. The phone doesn't get answered and I haven't heard back about my complaint. Please respond.
I have a complaint on the issue i paid $2300 i have a 2 yr warranty after 10 months the paint was peeling and chipping and in several spots needed touched up in general was completely missed so i contacted PEORIA ILLINOIS MAACO ON BRANDYWINE DR because they are the ones who did this paint job and repair the owner BOB told me no problem bring it by we will look at it and
see what the problem is and if we have to we will fix it so with that being said we get off the phone and i take my car by the shop at this time he deems that his employees did not scuff and sand good enough in these spots on top of the car that are chipping and peeling all the way from the front windshield to the rear windshield on both the passenger and
driver side so we then make a appt to drop the car off aug 9 2021…
Had aftermarket headlights installed and one was said it was broken when they installed it. But was not told to me till I wanted to be reimbursed for buying new ones. Nowhere in my paper work does it state that headlights were broken before be installed.
I just wa t to be reimbursed for having to by new headlights. The manager was rude and ask me to leave when I wanted him to talk to my lawyer. Hopefully we can get this situation resolved. Won't ever use this company again.
I brought a 2009 BMW x3 into the maaco in Layton Utah 84041 we negotiated a price. when the vehicle was picked up and brought back to my car lot (i have been an auto dealer since 1979) the color was 5 shades too light making it unsalable..
I called and got ahold of the new employee who took over for the person i have worked with for the past several years. They gave me a phone number to send pictures, after several days of no response i called the number and got ahold of someone who told how bad the paint looked but had absolutely nothing to do with Maaco.
I then called the shop back and was told to bring the car back so they could see it. on 8/9/21 i took the car out to them and was told that because i negotiated on the price they would do nothing to help me.

On 7/31/19 I dropped my truck off for a cut and weld to get rid of the rust above my rear wheels. I was told a week. It took two weeks. An inconvenience but not the end of the world.
After 6 months I started noticing inperfections but nothing major so I decided to let it go. Now Less than two years later my new paint job is bubbling up. I took my truck back to the Maaco shop in Des Plaines, Illinois.
I was told it was rust causing the problem and that it wasn't covered by the warranty. If I had the rust cut out, how can rust be causing the problem? I had my mechanic look at it and he said the rust proofing wasn't applied to the job.
In any case the problem shouldn't be back in less than 2 years. 00. I want my truck fixed again but don't feel I should have to pay. 00 per side. 00 and I…
Poor customer service, and less than average work. Was expecting better for their top tier/premium package. Was estimated 4-7 days. The car was there for 13 days before being worked on. And the owner, Bill had a bad attitude and seemed confrontational because I was “telling him how to do his job” because they never contacted me by phone and never responded to my emails to both his business and personal email.
Had them remove front bumper because it was damaged while there, and they acted like they didn’t notice, and really had to push for them to fix it. Has been pushed in/dented and has multiples cracks, chips, and wrinkles. The brown primer, and a lot of the body work I had done Previous to dropping it off, in the 14 days they had it they had only lightly scuffed the other areas. And…
You have now had my car for 9 weeks. I drive for a living in my own car and am about to lose my job because you won't return my car to me. You quoted me an estimate and said it would be 10 days.
It has been 9 weeks and you still aren't finished (or started), will not return phone calls, and in general have been the worst body shop I have ever been to. This is ridiculous! I can find car parts, why can't you?
In regard to my estimate, you also filed a supplemental claim with my insurance without my authorization. Maybe this is because you can't bother to call me back or communicate at all. I am absolutely livid. I can't wait to put a review everywhere I can online.
I will never recommend you and certainly never use you again. Ridiculous!
I would like to file a complaint with you regarding the amount of time my car stays there and maccco put the wrong paint on the car I take the car in on July 29th 2021 I am very unhappy with the service I can be reached at this number 678-927-7197 Bruce levette
Fraudulent estimates. Estimates too high. Estimates three times higher for the damage compared to other body shops. Especially when a women is a client. Maaco of CAPITOL Heights
I recently had the worst experience and customer service I've ever had in my life. I took my daughter's truck in to get a fresh color change paint job for her graduation and birthday present. I dropped the truck off on Monday 6/21/21 and got it back Thursday 7/15/21 with issues still not corrected and was told not to come back. I went over all the issues with the manager(s) in person 5 times during that time span and got told each time everything would be taken care of which did not happen. Very frustrating and horrible customer service.
One big issue was over spray, I understand over spray is going to happen but this was uncalled for and not professional at all! I had paint (not over spray, but paint) on the interior dash (which was a brand new dash and now discolored and messed up), all…
I took my car to Maaco to get an estimate on four things that was wrong with my car I had a rust under that skirt wheel well and I wanted them to put my Chrome back on the bottom and fix the dent that was up under there and on the left side quarter panel they were supposed to pull the den they were going to fix my car and they said it would take one week after three or four weeks I called and
called and called and they just gave me the run around about 1 my car will be ready when I went to pick my car up my car at and they did not fix my car I am very disgusted with this and manager made me pay in cash and when I pick my car up they did nothing to it nothing they did not fix my one thing and they made me pay over $1,500 it was the Maaco in Kansas City Missouri 89th and Troost
I brought my F250 in for a full paint job. There was minimal body work to be done only to the drivers door, (surface rust approx 3 in diameter) I stripped the truck of everything to include lights, panel moldings, bed rails and emblems.
I wanted to give them an easy task of preparing and painting my vehicle. When I picked the vehicle up, I noticed the drip caps were not replaced as asked and they were not on the truck at all. I blew this off as an honest mistake and let them order them.
They called and said they were in so I scheduled to go have them installed. When I got there they were not painted the color of my truck but were black. Was told that painting them would make them Crack.
Again I ignored this and allowed them to install them. 2hrs later and my labor to help them, they…
I took my vehicle to the Maaco in Plano, Tx on summit dr. I had a door painted and some body work done. The body work looked pretty but the door was not. The door was painted badly and it was installed properly.
I went over the work with Maaco agent and manager they both tried to get to think the is supposed to have a gap at bottom of door. I was not notified it was if they thought I would pull off without checking work.
I am filing a complaint against the Maaco shop located in 1120 George Jenkins Blvd Lakeland, FL. 33815. This is the shop which I took my 2020 silver Civic to be serviced due to a paint chip and a scratch.
The complaint is in regards to the damage done to my car while in the care of the Maaco workshop and the nonchalant attitude the store manager Dave had towards my concern of the damage when I brought it to his attention. As I mentioned, the main damage I took my car to this shop for was a paint chip on the lower left corner of the driver door and a light scratch above the rear driver-side wheel-well.
Dave said he would fix the chip on the driver door and "buff out" the light scratch over the rear wheel well because the scratch was just superficial. I was told to bring the car to the shop…
I went to the Ferndale Michigan Maaco Collision location I submitted my car there in February it is now two weeks into June my car is doing already the quality of service is horrible and the price consistently changing and it is fully paid they have no time to tell me for when my vehicle will be ready is currently still on location awaiting an additional price after what was told was to be completed
I am having to bring my truck to get body work in macco and I called to see if they can drop me off as I live about 3 Miles and the lady that answered the phone was very rude and send we are not a taxi service and hung up .
That is rife there is a way to tell customers oh no we don’t have drip off customers etc . I am bringing my business to you there are other options
I took my car in to get painted on April 26th 2021 Ali Hakim the estimator told me I should have my car back in 2 weeks or less Well now it's going on 4 weeks still no car He keeps coming up with excuses The last one he was sick ,time before that he messed the quarter panel up & had to redo it I don't think they know what the hell their doing. And I just want a refund & my car back
The owner of the shop on South East st in Indianapolis have had my truck for over 2 months now!!! He keep telling me work he going do to my truck and the work don’t get done in the timely manner he tell me he going do something!!
He painted my truck and my jams 2 different colors and when I ask him about it he told me I was difficult... I have parts on my truck that was working perfectly fine when I dropped it off now I have to do more maintenance on my truck!
All this after he told me he will have my vehicle back to me in 2 weeks it been 2 months!!! Not to mention when I dropped off the truck I gave this man more then half of my payment...
it’s sad how I can pay for service and he try to half ass my service then complain to me because I want the job done right!!!!!
Dropped off my car on Monday the 12th, was told it was going on the shop on Thursday, took a ride to see if it was in the shop, and it was way in the back with all of the other cars like I was some nobody and treated like I’m not a customer or important either.
What happened to integrity and keeping words, and I was also told that others were not out before me, and that’s what’s happening also, others are being placed before me, and I’m not impressed, the Maaco in Vermont took better care of me than this place in Virginia ....
Supposed to take out rock chips painted over them and charged extra to redo and paint looks like crap now very disappointed will never go back
If I could give zero stars I would. This has been the absolute worst experience of my life dealing with Maaco. My car has more things wrong with it then when I sent it in. My seat belts are broken and don’t work, I have holes inside my car from missing pieces that weren’t missing before.
I have called customer service multiple times and NO ONE has called me back. What a complete joke. Don’t ever get your car done at Maaco. Beware, they are all unprofessional and they will RUIN your car. I can’t believe that my car is STILL missing pieces months after picking it up.
Don’t ever go to Maaco on Tyrone Blvd in St. Pete and don’t ever let Carlos do anything for you. Worst customer service and worst experience of my life.
I was calling because I had two vehicles that needed painting . The person on the phone gor really rude and irritated when I asked about pricing . And told me he was in charge therefore I couldn’t speak to anyone else . 512-709-4853 .
Please call n thank you
Someone backed into my Subaru car, scratching the back fender and loosening the fender, a hit and run incident.. I took it to Maaco on THursday. The rep gave me an estimate of $504, told me I could pick it up on Tuesday, and called Enterpise to get me a rental car..
One of the servicemen then called me into the garage and explained that to do an expert job would be much more expensive, but he could just put in a screw to secure the fender and repaint it. I had originally decided not to involve insurance, but on Friday morning I called to ask if it was possible for me to proceed with the more expensive repair and put it through my insurance.
I was told the work was already finished and I could pick up my car. I had not expected it to be ready so soon so I called back to confirm that I…
I dropped my vehicle off at Maaco store #2308 on 3/8/2020 and was finally able to pick my vehicle up on 4/27/2020. They told me it would take 10 days! On four different occasions they had to re-work my vehicle.
On my first inspection of the vehicle there was lots of paint drippage, paint tape was still on the vehicle, and pores in the paint. This was obviously a rush job and they thought I would be ok with the poor quality and customer service.
One of the managers named Bill said that the pores in the paint was from my bad original paint which was a lie and I refused to take the vehicle back and had them re-work. There was nothing wrong with my original paint.
The reason I brought my vehicle in was to remove the two-tone paint and stripes and repair a small dent that was about the size…
was quoted 4k for a paint job. got the paint job, truck was returned to me with paint flaking off, engine wouldn't start, all my power steering fluid drained. I was charged 6k for that job. I filed a complaint, they told me to return the truck.
they charged me 2k for the redo of the paint job. 8k in, my truck now had problems with the dash lights, the turn signal, and the radio wouldn't turn on. I told them to fix it. they tapped into my brake lights and rewired my entire truck incorrectly, plus they broke my steering column.
charged me 600 bucks for that. I was returned a truck with a nice paint job, but no working lights, wires all over my truck pouring from the dash and where the radio should have been, and my dash pulled out placed on my seat.
My attorney told me to sue, im giving…
Dropped off 2006 F150 truck for paint job Plus clear paint which $400 extra, on 01/15/20 after calling 2 weeks after several times speaking to manager Felix truck wasn't ready. (noticed battery was dead) 2 days pass and nothing i contacted the owner Luis and he said he was very sorry to give him a few days that he was gonna personally talk to the paint guy to leave the truck spotless.
another weekend goes by and nothing, yesterday i got a call to pick up the truck when i got there the battery is dead the check engine lights on and some guy trying to charge the battery smoke everywhere and burn smell coming out of the engine, and the truck half done no clear paint or coat, bubbles everywhere, inside truck dirty and burn smell i didn't know what to do i ask the manager why they didn't…
I was at first going to give them a one star rating .... this is the Maaco in Greensboro NC.... but my wife explained that she told them to keep the cost down and she selected to not do alot of the repairs that I would have done.
Once I met with Randy and we went over the estimate, I chose to have some of the repair work done that was not originally supposed to be done when my wife brought them my truck, So he apologized and simply charged me to get the additional work done. So would I go back to them? Absolutely.
The truck came out well and looks great and the price was more than fair.
After having my vehicle for a week. I was told my vehicle was ready, went to pick it up, it wasn't paint as per the agreement. Once it was painted they lost my license plate. This all started Dec. 14, here we are in January and I am still dealing with no plate.
They have cost me money. I would like half of my money returned to me for having to get a rental and missing time off work. I went to the Cincinnati,Ohio MAACO on Kennefy Ave.
Maaco company here in Lansing Michigan was forced to shut down due to the illness of the owner my vehicle is inside of the building has been for 3 months no one is giving me the answers that I need in order for me to retrieve my vehicle back.....

By far the rudest owner Muhammad Ali, worst paint job I have ever seen by his company and trust me I’ve seen a lot. He is extremely rude to his employees as well as his customers I got to be honest I will never give that man business again. I plan to definitely make this man aware his ridiculous mess he calls a paint job will be the reason I tell everyone and anyone who will listen that Mohammad Ali is a CROOK!
Hello,
I dropped my car off to your maaco auto body and paint center in fess up Maryland, on October 7, 2019. I had my whole car painted with your premium paint opinion, as well as had some body work done to my rear doors and my car well sanded. I was informed that my car was done on oct 15 and informed them that i will pick the car up on the 16 weds morning. Wednesday to come on time to drive to go pick the vehicle up but I look the car over and noticed that my door handles were not repainted my hood had dirt in the paint, my rear bumper had paint splatter on the corner of the bumper, my back driver side door that had dents on it and most of my dents repaired besides the one at the bottom of the door therefore I end up tell him the shop manager of the imperfections that I had and he told…
I took my car to maaco Dolton Illinois to have it painted they told me how much it will cost, I paid them the money, I don't know anything about painting vehicles so I trusted them to paint my vehicle, after a few months notice a few bubbles and paint cracked in the certain area They refuse To repair it so I am writing you because I do have a lawsuit prepared and I'm hoping to avoid it
Poor workmanship.. I wanted general nicks and dents removed and a new paint job.. They left the fasteners off the front so the next day I could heard this banging in the front of the car. Yesterday I looked under the front and the screws under the car were never tightened..
There was a scratch on my door that they just painted over rather the buff it out. but that was why I brought the car in in the first place.. The paint job is a mess they got paint everywhere..
I had to go back to have the weather stripping replaced because they botched that up.. When you run you hand over the car it is not smooth there is paint splatter all over it.. I have had cars painted in the past and body work done..
this was the worst ever and you charged me over $1000 in labor .. I really expected the car to…

I wanted to get both rear wells repaired. It had surface bubbles, we agreed to cutting out the metal in the wheel wells to extend longer life of rear wheel wells. The work was done June 2019. At the time to pick up vehicle, there were still numerous defects in the paint and prep work at pick up.
I left vehicle for them to correct the defects pointed out. The second time for pickup a few days later , there were still defects that was not corrected. I just left from there today. 00 to work on the truck again who never corrected the issue from the initial pickup of the vehicle.
He told me cutting out the metal would be best to solve the issue and would last a few years. 00 and still have same problem. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF I COULD SPEAK TO SOMEONE thank you This is the location of…
