Maaco Auto Body Shop & Painting

Absolutely! We sand every surface that will receive paint. Sanding allows for a mechanical bond between the old surface and the new. Without proper sanding, paint will be much more likely to peel. Based on the individual needs of your vehicle, we also machine sand problem areas according to the package purchased.

How long your paint will last is totally subjective to the way in which you care for your vehicle, the conditions in which it is driven and stored, environmental factors and more. All of our paint jobs are guaranteed for varying lengths of time. However, you can significantly increase the life of your paint job by keeping it washed and waxed.

It is not necessary, but we welcome you too! The cleaner your vehicle is, the easier it is to prepare for paint.

80% of all vehicles we paint are ready in 2-3 business days. You can add a day or two if you have a significant amount of bodywork, need replacement parts or if your vehicle requires extra preparation to repair existing paint damage. It is not uncommon for customers to drop their car off early one day and have it back by the end of the next business day!

Contact your local Maaco center about our rental car assistance program. We will help you obtain a rental while your car is being worked on.

Appointments are not necessary, but we do schedule appointments for your convenience. Select your preferred center and complete our appointment scheduler online or call the center.

Estimates are 100% free of charge and obligation.

The price you pay could be higher than your initial estimate if hidden damage is discovered during the repair and/or refinishing process or if the cost of parts increases. This is extremely uncommon; however when it does occur, we will always call to discuss your options and offer you the opportunity to come in and see the repair area first hand and discuss costs.

If you simply want to change the color of the exterior, there is a charge in addition of your paint package to do so. Although it is not necessary, you can have your door jambs, under the hood and trunk painted for an additional charge.

At Maaco we know that you are conscious of the cost. Therefore we offer three price levels when it comes to replacement parts. A more cost effective option is Aftermarket. While new, these parts might not necessarily come from your vehicle's manufacturer. Recycled parts are the most cost-efficient. They come from vehicles no longer considered 'road-ready' but still adhere to safety and function standards. So if parts replacement is necessary, these three options provide flexibility to help you proceed with confidence.

If you're making a claim through your insurance company, you'll be happy to know that Maaco works with every major insurance carrier. We'll coordinate with the insurance companies involved, schedule an appointment for your car to be inspected, and even find you a rental car while we make your repairs. Maaco delivers certified bodywork and painting. We use original manufacturer parts, factory specs, and precision assembly to expertly rebuild your car so it looks and drives like it did before the accident.

If you are using your Insurance to pay for part or all of a repair, the shop will need to know this before an estimate is finalized. Your policy may include specifics about the repair materials or process. This can affect the time required to accomplish the work and the price. You will also need to coordinate with your insurance agent and the shop before finalizing the pricing to confirm all the details.

Rust is a form of corrosion. When it comes to the metal on your car, think of rust as holes-in-training. They weaken the integrity of the body and less visible parts of your vehicle. If untreated, rust also detracts from your vehicle’s resale value and is a potential hazard. We strongly recommend contacting your local Maaco shop right away when you notice any rust..

Costs for minor rust repair can be as low as some sand paper, touch-up paint and elbow grease. However, more advanced rust repair can cost thousands of dollars. So, at some point, you need to consider the diminishing returns. Decide how long you want to keep your ride roadworthy and how much work and rust repair cost it will take to get it there.

If you can put your car in neutral and push it to the side of the road, do so. If you cannot, place cones, flares, flags, or other indicators around your vehicle to alert oncoming traffic of the danger. And if it’s too dangerous to even get out of the car, stay put. Either way, put the hazard blinkers on and put a sign visibly in the car window that says “Towing.” Contact your local Maaco franchise to find out if they offer towing services or can make recommendations. Find a Maaco near you. When the truck arrives, share the Maaco location and contact information with the tow truck driver.
