Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting

They had a deal with a parking group so that when you are out of town with your vehicle parked you could get repairs done. Sounded like a good deal and worth a little extra for the coordination and convenience.
The dent was repaired well, the paint job was average. Clear coat had some rough patches over the door and more so over the handle. However, the worst was clear cost overspray on all the windows. Worst on the windshield and the driver mirror.
Had to then have the overspray removed. Would not return to this Maaco. Not to mention somewhere between parking, repair, and picking up my vehicle my ipod went missing.

I don’t see why EVERYONE hasn’t rated this place with 5 stars! I had a GREAT experience here. I’m a 22 year old Temple student and I’m in love with my 2001 ford mustang gt. I just recently had to get a new hood on my car and unfortunately the cheapest one the mechanic was able to order was white. EEK! So it was my priority to get the hood painted to match the rest of the car.
I arrived at Maaco around 3:30 pm on Monday June 17^th, met with the manager Jerry Bollettieri (GREAT GUY!) and he gave me a quick quote on the spot. It would be $ 250 to paint the hood but he suggested if I’m going to pay that much, hell, I might as well paint the whole car for $ 450! What a STEAL seeing as people pay anywhere from $ 2500-​$ 3000 for a full body paint job.
So I brought my car in first thing the next morning, which was Tuesday. Thursday morning, Jerry called me and told me my car was ready! I was out of town so I went in Friday morning to pick it up and I fell in love with my ‘stang all over again. The paint job was immaculate they did a SPECTACULAR job. For the price and quality, Maaco on Essington Ave is the place to go to people! Very grateful for Jerry and his wonderful team!

The salesman are scummy, dishonest and senseless. I went in for 5 mins to get an estimate, will steer clear.

So let me begin by saying that since I moved to Philadelphia 4 years ago, my car has been hit (while parked) a total of 9 times (that I know about). Granted, 7 of those times only took off one of my side-​view mirrors, but the other two required major body repair. Since I’m a poor college student and I had to pay for this myself, I decided to go to Maaco after seeing their commercials that they did the work right and less expensively.
Well, they were right on one of those accounts.
The first time I took my car to Maaco, they did do the work right and I suppose it was less than if I’d taken it somewhere else. However, a month after [and when my warranty from them had conveniently run out], the parts that they «fixed» started falling off my car. Now I have a piece of the detailing that just sort of sticks out because they didn’t glue it properly, and one of my headlights isn’t properly in its socket, and I have to push it back in all the time.
The second time I took my car back there, it was purely because I was desperate, wasn’t sure where another reputable place would be, and since (FINALLY!) there was a police report on this one, the guy who hit my car’s insurance company was paying.
So Maaco fixed my car for about $ 3,500 and brought it out with two brand new tires on the back to fix the ones that had been ruined when it was hit — only one of them was almost totally flat. That, to say the least, annoyed me beyond belief and I couldn’t find any air on the way home, so I had to drive around like that for 2 days.
So in short, I will never ever go back to Maaco, charming as their stupid salesmen are, and I will sing their anti-​praises from the hills.
