Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting

Saw Greg Silva at maaco to get help with my Mom’s car that needed some paint and repair for a minor issue. It was handled efficiency and I felt confident in my decision to have the work done and was very satisfied with the results! Thanks again Maaco and Greg! I would recommend this place to anyone who asked.

Uh oh you better go see Mike at Maaco.
My mother in law who just turned 80 decided to use her Honda CR-​V as a battering ram. Sadly she plowed into 3 different people in the last 6 months. Mostly fender benders, (thank god) but needless to say we had to see Mike @ Maaco :0)
He not only brought Granny’s CRV back to its original glory, but he also polished the headlights so they didn’t look crusted over.
After it was painted… Mike said, «that’s a lot of white you want us to pinstripe it for free»? Well… what has 2 thumbs and likes free… Me.
The pinstripe really gave it a finished look. Mike and the Maaco team really have an eye for what they do.
As for Grandma she couldn’t pass her DMV driving test and we took the car away :0(…but now my daily commuter vehicle (Grandma’s CRV) is like new.
Honestly I would have never drove this vehicle myself if Mike and Maaco hadn’t done such a great job repairing it.
Don’t let your car look like a crash up derby– mad max vehicle. Get Maaco :0)

This was my second visit to Maaco. The first was a touch up job on my bumpers that had faded from the sun. They did a beautiful job matching the paint and the car looked brand new. My last visit, yesterday, I picked up my Prius, which was involved in a fender bender. I couldn’t believe what a beautiful job they had done fixing up that bumper. It was perfect. I told my insurance company, who didn’t pay for this, about my satisfaction and they said based on my satisfaction with the work they’d put them on their list for customers to get an estimate. Thanks Maaco for a job well done. The staff was courteous and helpful. I hope I don’t have to go back, but if I need them, I will.

My experience with this Auto body shop was a horrible one. I had to take my car back to them three different times because the first two times it looked like they did it with a can of spray paint and forgot to patch some paint chips. I know it wasn’t going to be perfect, but when I got the car back it was sloppy, like they didn’t know what they were doing. I mean three time and each time it took seven days. My advice go somewhere else !!!

Horrible Paint Job, and Thieves!
First, we dropped off our truck to get painted a dark metallic blue. After the 10 business days they had it ready and we went to pick it up. We paid for an upgraded paint job. What we got was a very poor paint job, that was more bright than dark blue with areas where the paint was splotchy & other areas where the paint was thick & ran. They also over sprayed paint in the bed of the truck. They had taken out our bed liner & put a different one back in that had a bunch of concrete on it.
After dealing with them for a while they admitted to it not being done as it should have & told us to bring it back in 2 weeks to redo the job. We requested that this time they just paint it black so as not to worry about adding metallic & having any more issues. They signed off on that request.
Upon returning to drop off the truck they tried to say they might not be able to paint it our requested color. So we again waited 2 weeks to get the truck back and never knew what color we would even get.
In the end I gave 1 star instead of zero because they at least finally got a decent paint job on the truck & it was black.
But in the midst of them sanding the blue paint on the truck whoever was sanding it stole about $ 40 in change out of our change jar we had under the seat. My boyfriend had just cashed $ 40 into quarters & put them in the jar to fill it up & bring home, but we forgot about it when we dropped the truck off.
So when we picked up the truck & we got home we pulled out the change jar & half the money (the quarters we had just recently added) was gone.
There is blue dust & paint on AND inside the change jar.
Also, we hadn’t had ANY problems with the battery before but when we picked up the truck it had to be jumped as they had somehow drained the battery.
**please remember to take all your valuables with you so that this doesn’t happen to you** better yet, find a local owned mom & pop place to take your business.

First, I will say that I was greeted promptly and the staff were friendly, which I appreciated. That is the end of my positive review… now on to the important stuff:
I went in for an estimate for a smashed tail light. My tail light was pretty much ruined– it was not the kind of thing that only required a new bulb and cover, and I knew that. My bumper was damaged and there was a slight dent on the side of my trunk that lines up with my tail light. The employee told me that they would not be able to repair the tail light without fixing the bumper. He also said they would also have to repair the trunk because it may let water in when it rains because of the dent and small (like ½ inch) separation from the tail light. He then went on to explain that they would also have to repaint and refinish nearly the entire driver side of my car so the paint would blend and match. He concluded with letting me know we were looking at 20 hours of labor, which translates to about 5 days in the shop. He also included removing the oxidation from my trunk in the quote, which had nothing to do with my tail light at all. All of this could be mine for the reasonable price of $ 2000.89. FOR. A. TAIL LIGHT. You’re kidding me. «Well, it’s not just the tail light though, ma’am.» Was his response to my WTF reaction. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I just wanted to replace the tail light, I don’t care about the dent in the bumper or trunk.
Bottom line: This is not the place for a quick fix if you don’t care about cosmetic issues. They will try to pressure you to fix every single cosmetic issue your car has. Go elsewhere if you’re just trying to make a simple repair.

I recently got my little old Mercedes repainted here on a great sale they had going on.
Great price, it was about their second tier epoxy paint with an epoxy clear coat.
But as they say, you get what you pay for…
The sad thing is the paint is great, it was the lack of follow up by the manager. They damaged a side turn signal reflector and were supposed to replace it, I have been waiting about 2 months now and I know dam well it only takes a day to get one. Plus the damaged my back ensignia on the truck lid. I was going to show that to her also whenever I was going to go in to have they but on a new reflector… but that was at least 60 days ago now…
At this rate I will just have to shell out another $ 50 to replace both the reflector and the ensignia my own…

I have taken four different cars to Maaco on Blackstone and have always been more than satisfied with the quality of work they have done for me.
I recommend them to anyone that needs body work.

Believe it or not, a squirrel dropped 2 huge pinecones on the hood of my new car. I took my car to Maaco in Fresno and talked with Mike Murphy. There was no stress, they worked on my time frame and my car looks great! My husband couldn’t tell which side of the hood was damaged. Thanks for a GREAT job, MAACO!

I bought a used camper shell and wanted it painted to match my 2010 f150. I had quotes from other shops for at least $ 800. I took it here yesterday and Claudia quoted me $ 225 for a paint match and clear coat. I agreed and it was ready today at noon today.
It looks great, orange peel texture matches my stock paint.
Michael Perez (service advisor) even eloped me re-​install it. Good folks, cheap price, good work… 5 stars!

I got my car painted here. I kept it the same color. The car came out great! My car was so embarrassing to drive because of the shape the paint was in (peeling and stuff.). I spoke to Mike Murphy and he was great. He gave me three estimate and I went with the 4 year warranty. The price fit my budget perfectly. I was really impressed with the turn around time. I took my car in on Monday and it was back by Friday. However it was little hard find. But once i found it, it was not too bad. If you want your car painted good for a great price go see the folks here.

You know they are so genuine and so nice here ;) butttt they did paint my car the wrong color and they handled it well until this week. They were supposed to call and make another appointment with me and never heard back, so I had to call them and they were nice and said they would call me back but never did. So, I am now getting frusterated because I can’t get my car back in. The paint looks nice, but its the wrong color. That’s a pretty big mistake. AND I already paid, so hopefully they don’t try to ignore me now.

This is my first post of any review. What I have to say about Fresno’s Blackstone Ave. MAACO is, they OVER Promises and UNDER Delivers. Also, they need to worK on their communication skills with customers, If you say you’re going to call by 2PM the next day, call back!!! If the car isn’t ready, let me know, in case I need to make other arrangements for transportation.

Absoutley HORRIBLE!!! Car was not sanded, paint was chipping within 3 months, took longer than anticipated. DON’T GO HERE!!! You have been warned!!!

The visit occurred on August 30, 2010, when I made an unplanned visit to Maaco. I had been in a minor rear bumper accident on August 25^th, the day of my birthday. An 86 year old lady had reared ended my car and brought upon a damage of $ 802 estimated from Michael Automotive and collision center. They suggested new bumper. etc etc… I didn’t care because I knew she would take care of the bill but i was a little skeptical. She has written me a check for half because she wanted to be sure I actually got the repair. She was smart and I wouldn’t want it done any other way. Therefore the visit to Maaco. Like I said, the job was minor and could easily be done for half that. (and it was!) The $ 129 bumper special is what drove me in (paint only, excludes body work). The people at the counter were friendly and attentive, they paid close attention to my needs and found a quick solution.
The gentlemen, Mike Murphy had provided me with uncanny service. He was effective, efficient, and intelligent. He paid attention to every detail I had to say. It’s not everyday you run into quality people.
Thank you! I approve and recommend you to all my friends (not saying, they are bad drivers… haha) I don’t want to say it’s ok to be in an accident, I’m just saying, you have somewhere to go.
