Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting

I sent several emails to this shop to see if they paint street rods after looking at the reviews I’m glad that the are not painting mine. It would be nice if they would respond back to me at least though. Maybe they just have such fantastic business that they don’t need any new customers

I can not explain into words how terrible this person is. He should not be allowed to own this franchise, it is damaging the Macco Co. The company should immediately take control of this location and remove the owner Dennis.
He is a lie, cheater, and dishonest to most customers. He even cheats his Mexican employees who have ran out on him again just this week. He is breaking many laws which are putting the Macco co at risk. From what I am now finding out this has been going on for too long.
I hope corporate takes this location asap.
He has scams a tricks he does to change your estimate to a higher price.
He never keeps his word, and does not care about anyone but himself.

I scheduled an appointment, went in and gave a paint code. I was told they would look it up to see if they could get/​use the paint code I gave. Never got a call back. So I called 4 days ago 10 minutes before 5 p. m… 4 days later I still haven’t heard from any office admin. I guess my money for my fleet of cars I need painted will have to go somewhere else.

Had rust and wear to the top of my cab roof — H & Son estimated the work would be between 2 – 3,000.00 (!!) for just this small area. Luckily, I shopped around a bit and went to Maaco — they gave me an estimate of about 500.00. Of course, I went with Maaco — glad I did — work was completed when they said it would be and it looks great!

First off, Dennis the main guy was pretty cool but doesnt seem to care too much about what people Really want. I asked them to not paint a trim piece on my trunk and they did anyways. They took a grinder to some chrome trim around my windows and now I have to get new trim. They sanded my car with the windows down so there is TONS of dust in my car all over the place. They also didnt tape off my weather stripping all the way in some spots so there is light gray primer in random spots that wont come off. I also understand that I only spent $ 900 but the paint isnt smooth like it should be, its pretty orange peely looking all over my car so it looks like I just got expensive spray paint and sprayed the car myself. And on top of that, they took 5 extra days to do it than they told me, and I lost money not having a car to do some jobs I had lined up. They also took change from my car, which I don’t really care about $ 5 in quarters but C’MON! I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone, unless you have no other choice.

I had a very good experience with Maaco in Escondido. Dennis the owner was extremely accommodating and his crew did a great job on my car. They transformed my old, faded, dented and scratched beater car into a shiny little jewel. I could not be happier!

Poor quality work with a crappy attitude. I have no idea why anyone would go to Maaco in Escondido.

I recently had dent repair & a paint job done. I was pleased with the experience. Good quality for what I paid. Everywhere else was charging me a couple hundred dollars more. I would take my vehicle there agian.

I see other reviews that are problematic, but I found my experience to be very good. My mother needed a paint job on her 1997 Plymouth Voyager. It was very badly rusted. top and hood. Since she drives less than 200 miles a month, and considering the age of the car, and her senior fixed income, she was reluctant to pay a lot of money. Our trip to Maaco was the answer. Great service, price and job! They got rid of all the rust, and the paint job looks brand new. In addition, Sherry noticed a major problem with the hood not securing shut… probably a parking lot accident my mother had neglected to take care of. They repaired the dent and fixed the latch,.,.for (I consider) a very nominal additional amount considering the work. Granted the paint job is only a week old. We will watch how it lasts, but so far we are very happy!

DON’T GO THERE! Terrible paint and customer service. I took my truck to them over three weeks ago and they still have not finished the job. I purchased the top of the ine paint. The price was just under $ 1700 and they would not give me my truck without paying them, even with it being damaged and incomplete. When I went to pick it up the paint was a horrible orange peel consistency. They missed spots and sanded both of my front windows. They had a glass company try to fix the windows. Neither one of them work. They sent the company out to fix again and the technician dropped and shattered one window, broke my door panel and left the other one broken. They now refuse to fix any of it.
Now 3 weeks later I am out $ 1700 and have a terrible paint job, one missing window, one broken window and one broken door panel.
Again they refuse to fix it.
Save yourself the problems and avoid this shop!

Don’t leave any thing in your car because they will steal it, including coins. Take some pride of ownership, don’t steal from people Maaco, you have to be kidding. Would never use again based on ethics.

Had paint done to my roof which came with a lifetime warranty. When cracks and bubbles formed again, I went in to have them check it out. They pulled up my file of the work that was done and then proceeded to evaluate my roof. I was told that there was bondo work done and that it was very poor quality and therefore my warranty was void. I thought that was fair until I went home, re-​examined my copy of the paper work and discovered THEY did the bondo work.
