If you've got a car that needs minor repair and painting and don't want to spend a lot - this is the place for you. The quality is fine for an older car that does not need to look great - just okay - at an affordable price. That fits our minivan perfectly!

original estimate and paint appointment made in Febuary 2006. Advised would take one week, picked up car 3 weeks later. Car was not finished properly and very unsatisfactory work had me too upset to address at that time. Returned the vehicle the second week of July, 2006, and advised of poor workmanship and expected repairs. Was advised at that time it would be a week or two and they would call me. I have called at least once a month to check on status and told they would call back by three different counter people. The latest named Jesse advised me Tuesday, 23 Jan 07, the car would be ready for pick up on Wednesday, 24 Jan 07, in the afternoon. I took the afternoon off, took the train to Palo Alto to pick up the car. What a mess! Car was filthy, inside and out, more than just sitting for 7 months would do. The door panels damaged from the original work were in even worse condition that when it was take back in July. The pin stripe had still not been replaced. Jesse offered to have it done in 15 minutes but I refused. I did not want some line slapped on the side of this dirty car in "15 minutes". The work was poor enough quality already. The paint damage from the windshield replacement had not been repaired. The only things I noticed that had been repaired were the installation of the rear emblem and the seal on the windshield. Jesse advised he would talk with the owner FIRST thing the next morning and let me know what was going to happen. It has now been 48 hours and no call.

You have a choice - Maaco may be OK but NEVER use this shop. Lots of work around it give the appearance of trusting people. If you like your car, you will find an alternative!!
