Complaint Review: Maaco Auto Paint

What a Nightmare! Maaco promises and promises but only makes a mess of a vehicle. My son took his 1985 Monte Carlo SS to Maaco in Madison. This vehicle has no rust but was from Texas and faded badly. He paid Maaco over $1000, assuming if he paid the higher price the paid job would be much better.

They did not prime it properly and it is full of what the body shop world calls "assholes". They apparently come from improper priming or no priming at all. These do not show up right away and when they did Maaco told my son they did not know what they were and he must have got something on the paint.

They repainted a couple panels that were full of fish eye, which were probably caused by something alien in their air system. The aluminum wheels are full of overspray that we cannot get off even with aluminum acid cleaner.

I bought the car from him and would love to put a sign on it....Maaco Painted this car. I got absolutely no satisfaction from the fancy pants, gold chain wearing owner. These people should be brought to task for their false advertisement.

I cannot believe they get away with the things they do, but they have for a long time and continue to do so.
