Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting

BEWARE!!!
They have ruined my car and project!
I came in for a paint job and I talked to the manager and how I wanted it done. I wanted to paint the car white I removed parts to get the car and parts painted seperately. They told me it would be done in two weeks so I come two weeks later and it wasn’t painted the way it was supposed to be. There’s a ton a overspray all over the car. All over the plastics of the car that are supposed to be black. They told me it would be ready in a week and I come back and the parts that weren’t paint on car were two different shades of white. They try to bribe me with a discount at this point they knew and I knew my car was ruined.
I left because I was beginning to lose my temper with these guys worst experience ever!!!
The Bad
–overspray all over everything ruining glass and plastic mounds in car
–paint chips in 1 month
–they left of bunch of trash inside my car

The Good:
— Sincerity of branch manager.
— Most paint job issues (not all) caused by the unprofessional service work displayed by Maaco listed in this review were resolved at maaco’s expense; a rental was asked for (and provided) for four days (also at Maaco’s expense).
The Bad:
— Car Stereo (and subwoofer) were used heavily without permission.
— Excessive use of subwoofer led to one rear taillight fuse (not repaired)
— Several issues were present on car when vehicle was picked up (see images):
1. Unprofessional rear underspray on towhook area (bumper was obviously not
removed but labor was charged for this transaction).
2. Plastic protector under front bumper was torn off (see images) leading to tire rub.
3. Paint stains were left all around the interior of the cabin
— No vehicle walkthrough was performed when vehicle was picked up. Key was simply handed over (possibly shame from performing such an inferior job).
— Poor Paint Match (bumper paint is very noticeably different than rest of car)
Conclusion:
The worst choice I have ever made in regards to paint work.
Would not recommend.

My husband busted his side mirror against the narrow entrance to our garage. We called the dealership for the repair and it was more than $ 500.
As grad students with a limited budget, we got creative. We called the guys at this Maaco and asked them how much it would cost if we brought in a part could they color match our car and install it. It was a good price. We ordered a generic part on Amazon. I dropped it off. They painted it. I brought our car in later for installation.
I had done small business with them before a couple of years earlier and they were kind and timely. I drove all the way from San Francisco to do business with them again. It was so worth it for the quality of work
We ended up saving about 40% compared to the dealership. Thanks guys!

Fender bender! Yikes. I recently got into an accident when traffic went to a complete halt and bam I hit a back of a Prius. As scary as it was the driver was very cool and we agreed that I would pay out of pocket.
She went to a shop and it seemed like the paint job was high. So I found macco through here and gave them a call asked how much is it for just a bumper and paint job and they told me about 500 and it seemed to good to be true so called twice same thing. Told them I would get a new oem bumper because they said it would be easier to put on. I was like that’s it including labor and everything and they said yup.
So I recommended the owner of the Prius to go there and she got an estimate of 900. Turns out refinish is killer, 314 dollars! 100 for metal sheet whatever that is. But still went through with it because I just wanted this nightmare done.
After they pulled out the bumper they found out that the metal bar inside the bumper was messed up with at least 2 brackets that needed replacement. So it went up to 1300. Well ok great. From the looks of the pictures it seems like scratches and a little deep hole. But NO it’s much more then that. At this point I just want to live in a century without cars…
I used a coupon here and after the change up I asked if the new price was discounted and they said yes. So the day after I sent my Bf to pay it off. In the same day, I realized it wasn’t discounted so he went back.
Overall I wished they told me about the refinish or told me a little bit more in details about the damages over the phone.

I haven’t done many Unilocal reviews, but I just had to after the great experience, and over the top service I received. I chose this shop after my local shop quoted me double the price where I live. Mind you I live in Tracy and this shop is in San Jose. After speaking with the owner (Elias) he informed me he could take care of all my needs. This included arranging towing and even a rental. I couldn’t believe my ears. My car is a 1993 Toyota Camry. I only have 69 000 original miles. I get offers on this car all the time. I just couldn’t see letting it go like the insurance company wanted. So I had to look for a way to repair my vehicle. That’s where this place came to the rescue. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again, or take my other vehicles here. They really take complete care of you. The owner is such a real dude. All my friends want his info too. A huge relief lifted after coming here. I had all my co workers look at it and all were impressed. If you are considering this shop, I say go for it. Great all around service! Never mind the license plate, I need to get new ones from dmv.

These guys are great! I use them for my business fleet, over 50+ vehicles and trailers. They produce consistent, quality work at reasonable prices. Elias is a great communicator and I’ve had nothing but positive experience with him in the past 6+ years.

Hi welcome to Maaco if you like to get a messed up paint job then this is your body shop. These people don’t care about their customers or their car. Even after up selling their top of the line package they have failed to do a basic job.
I had my Honda Accord painted by them because it was keyed and I made it loud and clear I wanted a proper job on my car and they assured me it will be factory close what a joke. The whole car has fish eyes not a single part of the car is right. There are marks, dents, cracks, and many other imperfections in the paint job. It’s just a horrible mess and there was paint inside the car, windows, paint hand prints on the interior and scratches to the interior. There was painting tape in the car, my engine, and under the car.
Basically you only get garage quality work here not a professional body shop work. Avoid this place at all cost. These people think that customers are stupid so they will say to us your car looks beautiful and there is nothing wrong but no other body shop agrees and it’s going to cost me double want I started with in order to get car right.
I would give –5 star if I could. Don’t waste to your time and money here. And most of these 5 star reviews are fake. Not even close what the reviews state.

I brought my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee in to this Macco. I was greeted by Edgar who seems very knowledgeable and helpful. I wanted paint and all the dings taken out so he went outside with me and looked over the vehicle. We went back inside where he broke things down in a comprehensive and detailed manner with «no hidden fees or bs». He then showed me many swatch colors and I went with «Viper Black» single stage and it looks awesome!
To make a long story short I picked up my vehicle about 1 week later including paint and body work. I am honest to say I am 95% pleased. There is just a few details that need to be taken care of but when I let Edgar know he was very quick to get back to me and said I can drop it any time and they will take care of it, no worries.
Therefore I’m not worried about it and soon as I have time I will drop it back off to nail out a few small details but over all excellent job and service. I get a ton of compliments on the job and my neighbors think I bought a new 2015 Jeep and they refuse to believe that it is my old jeep with a new breath of life. I then got new tires and black wheels which I will try to post the photo I took of the finished product to show you all.
The paint job was much much cheaper then a new 2015 Jeep, ahah, and really worth the investment btw, so I recommend anyone that needs there car painted for a great price and over all excellent job to go to Maaco and ask for Edgar he’s the Man! I feel it is much better to fix up your old car and customize it out then buy a new or used one and I am very happy I did.
Peace out, Joel

Elias is a solid man of his word. 6 Years ago they painted the red mustang that is uploaded in there pic gallery here. Still to this day the paint and body looks great. These guys have done numerous jobs for me from small to large and all work performed has been always been excellent. I finally got the chance to give them a review and like mentioned 6 years later the paint is still shiny like it was just done.

Hello Everyone,
First I would like to say that I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Maaco and there staff!
Now for some background, a couple of months ago I had my car 2012 Mustang backed into by a trailer. It left scratches and dents along the front drivers side fairing and door (sorry I do not have photos of the incident). The car was not severally damaged but was displeasing to look at. I brought my car by numerous auto body shops in the area and was quoted at $ 1500 plus. I was not planning on using insurance and thus this price was way to high. I finally brought my car to Maaco and what a surprise!
I was quoted to fix the entire car at around $ 900 dollars (WOW what a difference). I didn’t have that kind of money laying round either so I told them I would just like to have the worst scratch removed (would only cost $ 450). I agreed and left my car at the shop the very next Monday. Later that day I received a call that they would like to leave me with a great experience and thus would do the entire car for $ 650. I agreed and came back3 days later.
The car looked brand new. Looking at it you couldn’t see where the incident had occurred. I would gladly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It will save you a ton of money and they do fantastic work. Thank you so much guys!

I want to rate this place 4.5 stars but there is no such option! 4 stars it is then!
I accidentally had a minor accident with my bumper and there was a big dent on the side. I usually pay about $ 800 – 900 for an amazing paint job and fix job at a different place but I did not want to spend that much on my dented bumper this time around. I opted out for buying my own bumper from the manufacturer and was planning to fix the car myself but when the bumper arrived, it was not painted. I called Maaco for an estimate of a paint job and they responded with a good price. They also asked if I would like them to install it for me and I asked them how much? They responded with a good price.
I called around a couple of different spots and everybody was telling me over $ 500. So, I decided to go to this location. I called the day before I dropped off the car to make sure that they will give me the same price quote from a couple days earlier. Eric helped me the second time around and honored the price quote.
So let’s forward a day after– My car was ready for pickup! Really quick and fast! The estimated pick up time was on Friday but a day later after I dropped off the car, the car was ready for pick up!
When I picked it up, I did not do a thorough inspection of the back bumper. I went home and realized that there was a spot that was not smoothed out. I had to call Maaco back and return the car on Friday for a quick fix. Eric fixed it really quickly (it only took 15minutes) and the entire back bumper was like brand new!
I would only minus .5 stars because I had to go back to refix the small problematic area. But overall, I would go back to this place and the service is excellent.

I brought my Prius 2009 because a tree branch made two scratches (10″ length and 1/​8″ width) and a tiny dent on the passenger side door.
I gave 5 stars because Eric explained the detail of the cost for the paint job thoroughly. He gave me two choices: $ 80 (just paint over the scratches. You still see the lines and a dent after paint.) or $ 505 (fix a dent and clean the scratches and paint. Neither lines or a dent can be seen after paint. It looks new.) I chose $ 505.
Eric is a very considerable person, I think. He asked me if I would need my car to commute to work every day. I need my car every day and he (or they) kindly finished my car only in one day! (I brought my car Thursday afternoon (after 3pm) and my car was ready by Saturday morning (10am).
There are some tiny scratches on my car and there was a tiny one on the same door. I didn’t care that one much, but he kindly painted it as well.
I’m really satisfied with their (Eric’s) service and job. Thanks.

The entire hood of my car had the paint torn off from a single rock that hit it and created a tiny hole that grew and grew over the span of a year and a half. It looked terrible, but parking in crappy areas of town felt safer somehow, who would wanna steal my crappy car now? But there are the downsides, kids pointing and laughing at my sad little car (where’s your car then kid?!)
Anywho, I took it to Maaco on Wednesday to get it restored to the factory paint and once again make it pretty. Eric helped me when I drove up (made the appointment the day before, no problem) and went over my car from top to bottom, like a good salesman, pointing out the other places in my car that needed some new paint. He gave me an excellent deal on repainting the entire car (~$ 750!) but unfortunately that extra $ 300 for the rest of the car was just too rich for my blood so we stuck with just the hood. He went over various financing options and told me if I changed my mind, I could call within the next day or so as they’d have to sand down the hood first anyway. He actually called me in 2 days to check and see if I had changed my mind, which I appreciated, but could not afford it. I called him the next day and was told my car would be ready in an hour, but as I was on my way out of town, I opted to pick it up the next day they were open, Monday.
Monday comes and I see my beautifully painted hood! I’m told they’re still polishing it however and could I wait for a half hour for them to finish? They said I could take it as is, but I had the time so I got some breakfast and came back, paid, and was off with my brand new (ish) car! On my way home I noticed my car’s antennae chilling on the dashboard, so I twisted it back on when I parked.
Great customer service and paint job as a whole, I would come back here again for my car painting needs. Thanks for allowing me to show my face to those laughing little kids again Maaco!

I took my car to get an estimate to repair damage to my passenger side doors and quarter panel after an accident. I was hoping to be able to afford the extra cost of painting the entire car a different color, as my insurance was covering a large portion for the accident. Edgar and Erick gave me a great deal in painting the entire car with their top-​level package. Erick even threw in painting the door jambs (a $ 600 value) for free! Because of this, I was able to get the car painted the color of my choice without worrying about the contrast between the exterior paint and the door jambs. The shop also took care of some dings and deep scratches free of charge!
When I came to pick up the car, I was AMAZED at how excellent it came out! The car looks better than new, and the paint job was stellar! I could not believe that I only paid ~$ 900 to get my entire car painted the perfect color! (the insurance covered $ 3,700 for my side damage). I could not be happier with the work Maaco did or the wonderful customer service.
One thing to keep in mind is that although many people have bad things to say about the quality of Maaco, this business is like a Denny’s– one location may have great food and another may have awful food! Well, this Maaco has great food, to use the same analogy! I highly recommend Stockton ave Maaco for your paint and body work needs! See the uploaded pictures of my Mazdaspeed 6 for proof! :)

Took my car in to get the front passenger door repaired after a run in with a pole. The door wouldn’t open because the lower part of the body (beneath the door) was pushed in and the window wouldn’t roll down all the way.
I paid upfront for the parts required (door and door stripe) then three days later I get my car back and it looks phenomenal. They recommended a car rental through Enterprise which I took them up on. As Enterprise dropped me off at the shop I could see my car getting cleaned in the shop garage. Elias and his crew made the entire experience flawless.
Will definitely go back when other repairs are needed in the future and will recommend to friends and family.

Pros:
Good daily driver paint job on my ’67 Mustang. If you go over the entire body in detail, you will find minor imperfect spots, but standing a couple feet away, it’s almost show quality without the show quality cost. Body work and paint is at a very fair price. Super friendly service from Erik and Elias.
Cons:
Battery was dead but they gave me a jump which was enough to get home to use my charger so it wasn’t a big deal for me. Some minor trim/​window adjustments had to be made.

Just picked up my 1995 Impala that had been keyed bad on both sides… Eliasis the owner took extra good care of me. When I went in for a quote he took the time to explain what needed to be done and what it would cost. After explaining my budget we cut out a few things scaled back the paint and fit my budget. When I pulled up and saw my car they were cleaning it even wiping my rims down. Paint looked great. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this Maaco over the other ones. 5 stars!

I just picked up my Honda Civic 2001 and am very thankful and happy for a job well done. For a very fair price they repainted my entire car black.
I went to at least 15 other paint shops and I got quotes from $ 3,000−5,000, some places wouldn’t even help me when they looked at my car, which illustrates that my car was in pretty bad shape. However, when I went to Maaco. I spoke with Erick who is the manager and we talked and determined what I could do within my budget. We figured what would work for me and left my car to be repainted.
What made this a true 5 star place is the customer service that Erick provided for me, he wanted to help me and made sure to do everything he could to work within my tight budget.
This is the type of place that values their customers and that is something so many businesses lack.
I highly recommend this Maaco location if you are looking for a paint job.

Overall, I think MAACO did a decent job on my 1965 Chevy Stepside.
PROS: I had them do a tricky two-​tone interior paint job, so there were a couple of minor imperfections. But overall, they did a pretty good job there. The exterior was done very well. Price was right.
CONS: I paid to have «under the hood» painted. While they painted the engine well, they never did paint under the hood. So the rest of the truck looks cherry, and then there is the one eyesore — and I believe it should have been included. I also requested that the bed of the truck be sprayed with bed liner — it was included in the work order and it was forgotten. I wasn’t charged for it, but it never got done. Everything else was minor: didn’t replace my visors or mirrors, got clear coat on my tires, got wax on my valve covers and air filter.
The did a great job on the body work and paint. They just need to slow down and make sure to complete the job to the owners request.
3.5 stars. I’ll change to a 5 if I can get them to complete the job and paint under the hood for free. Erik?

I brought my newly purchased Honda civic hatchback there. It was in a terrible shape and ugly color with LOTs of dents, scratches, and rusts.
They did a wonderful job of restoring the smoothness of the body, treated the rust, sanded so well, that I cannot even tell it was so messed up looking before! The paint job is beautiful and shiny! The body work is excellent! The customer service is super awesome (thank you Erik for being such a great communicator and just a cool guy in general).
Thank you team for pimping up my ride!
