I dropped off my 2001 Miata for minor body work and new paint at the New Hampton NY shop on July 9th. I was told the work would take 2 weeks. Well today is Aug 8th 2018 and I stlll don’t have my car back.

I went to the shop on Wednesday of the 3rd week and was told it was in line for painting. Patrick the sales person I had been seeing told me possibly Friday but by Monday or Tuesday of the next week for sure.

Waited till Thursday of the 4th week called again and spoke to Patrick he told me the paint cracked on the bumper and had to be redone. So here I am at Wednesday of the 5th week and still don’t have my car.

This is extremely aggravating as the summer is passing quickly and top down time is lost and don’t come back. I feel that the shop could care less and has lied from July 9th…

I brought my truck in for some body repair and for some paint work. My main concern when I brought my vehicle in was my rear passenger wheel panel. Was starting to rust and wanted to get it taken care of before it got to bad.

All the did was paint over the rust. There was no repair. 00 dollars for this ??? 100 hundred dollars.

We had our car painted at Hagerstown,MD.location and when they removed the spoiler to paint it they didn't put the ground wire back on the trunk latch.It cost me $183.00 to repair it and I want my cost refunded.The manager there Raymond offered to pay me $100 of his own,but that's not fair to him and I'm still paying $83.The owner has told you that the trunk never worked which isn't true.Raymond said it worked when it was brought in to be painted.Please contact me at 240-625-4039, thank you.

I had some minor bumper damage from a light brush of an incident. I went to multiple body shops for estimates of repair, and was relieved to talk Paul at MAACO who assured me that a new bumper and fender could be ordered, painted, and put on for under $1k.

I also asked Paul to give me a worst case scenario if some brackets were busted behind the scenes, he went to his computer and said worst case, maybe a $40 bracket would have to be ordered, but that the headlight, the fog light both worked fine, and that the damage look topical and on the surface.

Then they have the assistant manager, Courtney, call me a couple days later tell me that some additional parts need to be ordered, but he didn't have the nerve to tell me what it needed, or the price. He said Paul would call me back, but that…

Usually, I do not write reviews as they often times portray the opinion of an individual.

However, right is right and wrong is wrong. The customer service displayed by Maaco employees was all around wrong starting and ending with its top leaders. I purchased a full paint job in May 2018 that was incomplete upon the vehicles return.

However, I was expected to pay in full by the general manager (Wolfie) in order to receive the car back. ). When speaking with the general manager of the location, he said to either leave the car (after being there already for 4 days) or bring it back in a week.

The cost was over priced along with the out of pocket expenses for a rental car. On top of this, only to receive the vehicle back incomplete. The general manager did not want to answer any questions…

Poor quality and continually being lied to by the Supervisor of the Fort Walton Beach Location. Just went in for the 5th time pick up my vehicle that has been in for 4 weeks. The same defects are there that I identified over 2 weeks ago.

The Supervisor told me that it is normal to have defects in the clear coat and since I did not get the platinum package there was nothing he could do. 74 for a defect ridden job. Unacceptable. Store is M2557 in Fort Walton Beach Florida.

I did not sign the completion certificate and did not get a copy of the repair order with the written warranty.

Dear Sir/Madam, I regret writing this complain of this tone.

However, I was at your establishment located at 6850 Buford Highway NE, Unit A, Doraville, GA on Thursday afternoon, May 31st, 2018. I got an estimate on some body and paint work for my car. During the processing of my contract with associate David Y, I asked why the work was not under 5-year warranty, as an advertisement on the wall of the shop clearly stated, but rather under a 1-year warranty.

David then asked for $100 dollars on top of the estimate for the 5-year warranty. When I questioned this egregious bait and switch, David became visibly agitated and grabbed the contract paper and slammed it in a nearby garbage can.

” As you can imagine, I felt extremely disrespected by this openly hostile action by your…

I felt I had poor service cause I was a woman I keep having to call them they would not call me. They keep my car from March 22, until April 10, 2018 I paid these women over. 2,000 and the work was poor looks like paint rubbed against something and is coming off.

These ladies that work here are not that attractive. Is why I knew they were not going to do a good job. And it is not right after having my Jeep Cherokee back for a day I have to take it back.

I want better costumer service and a 2,000 dollar paint job no way my paint should be coming off this fast. 214-381-2070 and I bet she already knows what I am complaining about.

Also I will send pic.

I took my car (listed above) to the Maaco business location (Store #M2592) on 10/18/2016 for an estimate on body work (rust repair to body and engine bay area) and paint. On 10/25/2016, I dropped off my car at the location to have the work done (Estimate #6309; Repair type "Ovderall +") and paid $4,500. 50 due at delivery).

Due to the rust damage in the engine area, I was told that the engine would need to be removed for repair. We agreed on a cost of $1300 to remove/install the engine (listed on estimate). Over the ensuing months, I contacted the owner (Ryan) regarding the status of my car.

My car had been disassembled and left outside in the elements while newer customers cars were being given priority. It has been well over a year and Ryan will not give me any definitive date when my…

I first came to Maaco 10981 boatman ave. Stanton California Nov. 26 2016. 43 for a urethane paint. 06 2016. Beautiful, no complaints from me. 79. When I picked up my vehicle it looked like the whole front of the car was repainted over the other paint job. It was much darker.

So I complained about it and later came to a agreement to have the whole car repainted. When I picked up my car, not only was it a much lighter color it had numerous flaws thru out the vehicle. I later came to another agreement to have it repainted and flaws repaired.

21 2017 95 % of flaws are removed but the car is not the same color it was after I had it painted the first time. It's obviously been painted a very thin coat of paint and still looks very transparent.

Not the beautiful metallic gold it was originally.…

I took my car to Maple shade nj. Car got painted wrong color. They charged me 1200 to correct body work. They did nothing. I got the car back and the paint is shiny and the body work they supposedly corrected was not done.

Dead battery,didn't even wash it. 00 I ever spent and would never recommend. The body work was done going in. They charged me to correct it. So disappointed.

Brought in 2nd car to make up for first debacle. Classic '76 MBG convertible roof was ripped and torn while being painted, paint showed cracking in 3 separate locations the day I picked it up. Rudeness from employees and lack of accountability.

Maaco Brockton would NOT accept MAACO Coupon for 45% and was not given an answer why.

I dropped off my truck on Saturday last Saturday 3/26/17 at 11am the employee said that they was gonna repair holes dents around truck also spray the truck bed areas also doors jams. I also had to go with the original color due to employee says you can save money but I still end up paying way more.

I thought nothing was repaired, they basically spray my truck without preparation never sanded or repair nothing was done. I feel robbed either you guys send me to someone who knows about really repairing my truck or refund my money.

Also the paint is cracking already it's horrible experience with maaco please help me.

Took my parts for my 2009 Harley fatboy to the Maaco in Humble Tx to get painted. When received my parts back there scratches, fingerprints and orange peal all over. So I took it back to them and told the owner that it was not acceptable and he started to yell at me and told me that I paid $400 and

I got $400 paint job, I asked if I could some of my money back that I was not satisfied. Then started yelling louder and cussing at me and threatening me and told me to leave, so I did. I hope you can help me get satisfaction or contact Maaco headquarters at the least.

I had a friend who told me about the Maaco paint company, how he was pleased with your service, and by observing his vehicle paint job I decided to to have your company paint my truck, I didn't question the service upon completion even after he told me he couldn't get my driver side door to match the rest of the vehicle, I let it go because you really had to be upon it to notice it. This is what upset me about your company, I paid approximately 700.00 to get my vehicle painted, it wasn't long before the paint began to peel away on the bed rails on the truck.

I misplaced my invoice and called the Pasadena, Texas paint shop to tell them what my problem was with my vehicle, and asked the young man did they have a record of when they painted the truck, he stated that they couldn't find a…

Allow me to preface this complaint with the knowledge that i have had 3 vehicles painted by other Maaco's over the last few years. (2 in Wichita, Kansas, and one in Las Vegas, Nevada). The Experience was above anything i could have expected for a mid-level, color change paint job.

Complaint #1: I now live in Colorado Springs, CO. I took my car to the Maaco on Garden of the Gods Road and was told that i needed to wait over 2 months just to get an estimate.

Complaint #2: I Decided to go to the other Maaco on Chelton Road instead. I talked to a gentleman on the phone and explained my car to him. (No bodywork and very, very minor surface rust on the hood and roof) I made an appointment for the paint job at that time. When i got to the shop the estimator came out and just went crazy on…

I dropped my car off at Maaco, located in Upper Marlboro, MD on Saturday 11/5/16. I was told they would start my car on Monday & this will be finished on Wednesday, 11/16/16 at the latest Friday, 11/18/16. I purchased a rental car at Enterprise 11/5/16 upon leaving Maaco because i needed transportation to & from work. I purchased it until 11/18/16 just incase it took until 11/18/16. I paid $997 for that rental car.

I wasn't upset because i know that my car was getting work done. I call Maaco on 11/15/16 to ask for an update & spoke with a woman who was very polite. I ask her for an update & if my car will be ready by Friday her response was "there's no reason why it wouldn't!". So Thursday 11/17/16 i call & speak with Don & ask what time can i pick my car up, He then tells me "it wont be…

I took my dually pickup to Maaco 1062 Lafferty Lane Dover DE, 19901 to be painted. A few months later the paint on the fiberglass fenders bubbled up On 7/25/2016 they repainted the fenders and at that that time charged an additional 180 dollars to adjust for the 1 year probated warranty. On 9/12/16 the paint was bubbling up again even worse then before. I took the truck back again and was told they couldn't explain why the paint wont hold and it would be wasting their time and mine to redo it again.

They did say because the truck is a 1997 it might be too old for paint to stay on the fiberglass fenders. Since then I have taking the truck to 2 other shops and a Chevy dealership and they all say this is not the case Since Maaco refused to honor the warranty I assume I will have to have the…

On my initial call to your shop on Marine Dr. in Toledo, Ohio, I was told that the range of paint jobs was between $400 & $1,200. So I took my 1990 Corvette to be looked at by Mike Stone. I have previously had 2 cars painted in the past, while the shop was still on Telegraph Road, and I was pleased with the results.

Initially I had a friend of mine attempt to paint it (he said he had been a professional painter). I only needed the hood and the back bumper painted. My car's color was called smoke gray. His first attempt turned out black with orange peel. He said he must have applied to much paint to the car. He repainted it and got the gray color, but again there was orange peel. By the time I sanded out the orange peel, I was back to the original paint. The point I am trying to make here…

I went to maaco of santa maria they tried to install a headlamp actuator. They were not able to, and trying to they broke my headlamp bulb. They tried to tell me it was like that. It was working before I came in to maaco.

Then they charged me for labor and for the broken bulb. 43 is what I would like to request a refund for. This is really my only problem with them so far, and I wanted corporate to be aware of what employees are doing to customers.

I don’t know where to start with my complaint about Maaco. I am not a writer so bear with me. Paint on the windows, carpet, inside the doors, tires (driver front and rear), wheel wells, brake caliper (driver front) and for the life of me I can’t figure out how the door sill trim got cracked it must have been hit with something. This is a 1996 BMW Z3 painted at 1650 Silas Creek Pkwy in Winston Salem, NC. 336 939 6474 The project was wrote up by Alex Mabe. The job was to install an after-market bumper cover, address the driver side door for a dent and paint the car. I delivered the car on 1/15/2016. After 2 weeks or so (02/02/2016) I decided to call to see what was going on since I hadn’t heard a word. I talked to Alex and inquired on the progress of the vehicle.

Alex said that he had…

I turned to Maaco, because I don't like patch work and I wanted a PROFESSIONAL paint Job. They charged me $1,400 to do a paint job and some minor body work (door dings, small hood dings, and a little rust on the bottom of 2 fenders). I also paid $320 to drive a rental car which was set up by the Maaco office worker. Grand total for the worst paint job I have ever seen in my life, over $1,700!!! I have seen guys working from their driveways advertising $200 paint jobs on craigslist do a better job.

The car's original finish was still shiny and beautiful, because it was garage kept and very well maintained. I wanted the small flaws corrected, because I wanted the car mint! The Maaco estimator suggested painting and restoring the entire car, because according to him "although it's perfect in…

I have my car in to be painted back in May at Maaco with no damages, to simply be painted pearl black, which my vehicle is already black. So the insides do not have to be redone, and I find it very hard that my vehicle is still not finished, for now it is towards the end of July.

I am extremely disappointed in the service of my vehicle being returned to me in a timely manner. I received unprofessional phone calls early in the morning waking me up before 8 am, with excuses of why my vehicle is not finished.

Bottom line is that if that particular organization can not perform its duties in a timely manner, maybe management needs to find faster and better quality personnel for the job. This is very overwhelming financially, and stressful to the customers that trust in Maaco with their…

Am a long time hertz customer, I was returning my car at Maaco. I waited for over an hour for Maaco to check me out. Absolutely ridiculous. The staff ignored people in line and were extremely rude. Am highly considering using another car rental company.

Beyond piss poor service from both Hertz and Maaco.

Couple of weeks back I had given my car for a dent repair and scratches to be painted at Maaco. You will have to believe my words. These guys have done a wonderful job on it. They follow a process out here.

Firstly body repair, second surface preparation, third surface sealer and followed by paint services. This is not all... After all this, they have protection and seal process for the car. Washing and waxing is done to ensure the final finish is perfect.

I have decided to give my car only at Maaco going forward. These guys are simply good at their work and know what to do perfectly. The kind of service they gave me is more than satisfactory.

Overall am very happy with the way they handled and would definitely recommend this place for one and all.
