I feel like they could have put in not much more effort and you would have been pretty happy at that price point. Having said all that if they don’t take care of you, hit up Eric and we’ll cut and buff the runs out and fix that one really obvious dent on the quarter.

Amazon sells a self adhesive 11mm chrome strip kit for about $15. That is the correct size to put back on the side strips. Also, you can use polishing compound to take off the oxidized layer of rubber and put a couple heavy coats of any type of dino oil then let the strips sit over night. Wipe off the excess residue and they will look like new. Thats how I restored the ones on my RRC. Now they look like I just took them out of a wrapper.

I am a car dealer in Las Vegas and I sell very affordable cars including old police cars. I had Maaco paint probably 500 cars for me and my first paint job there cost me $300 for a single stage enamel paint job. It was good for what I needed. That same paint job costs me $650 today and for another $75 I get integrated clear. For a base clear paint job $1400 is a great price except that they didn't quality control it as they normally never do! Maaco is not known for bodywork and if they said it was done you need to raise holy hell because it's awful. You need to find out if it's a corporate store or a franchise. It will make a huge difference if it's a franchise because if you complain to Maaco corporate it creates major problems with the franchisee. If its a corporate store all you have to do is tell the manager of the store you are dissatisfied with the work and they will do it as many times as they need to do it to get it right. At the end of the day the job is substandard and $2900 for that finished product is unacceptable.

The same location when it was 1 day paint and auto actually did a better job, i asked for extra coats of paint and to this day, the UV coat is still solid. I wet sanded that car and it was like glass. Everyone thought it was a $5k paint job or more. $2900 dollars and they didn't do body work , take it back. Also, the paint always looks thin. It doesn't look thick.. I would take it back. If you paid for the dents and bodywork and they didn't do it and its on your order / receipt, take it back.

3k is a very cheap overall. The material cost alone at a “real” body shop would be a significant part of that alone, even at cost. Im fairly certain Maacao is a mask and spray place, the “body work” you paid for is probably mostly for the labor time for the “r&i’s” of all the parts taken off, not necessarily to swipe and block every panel on the vehicle. I work at a dealership body shop, unless your doing it yourself your paying 2-3 times that but it would look good.

form videos i've seen there is huge differences in quality between different maaco shops, and that has to come down to employee expertise.

Sir, Maaco repaired everything that you chose. You picked the dents out that you wanted repaired. We walked around the vehicle and you marked the repairs, which were placed on the work order. No body shop does 1400 for general body work. The dents that you picked were repaired. Out of the so called 1400 worth of body work. That included sanding and priming. It was unfair of you to claim Maaco didn’t fixed every dent. As you claimed, the paint work look good, when it shines more dents are noticed. Besides going over board and giving you free paint to correct repairs that you didn’t see or request on the repair order. This was an older vehicle and we do not perform restoration work. So, for what you paid, the repair, and the customer service that you received was more than a value.
@jerrysmith18876 ай бұрын
Anytime you have paint and or bodywork done, never accept it on anything but a sunny day. If that’s not possible request an inspection indoors and that the vehicle is dry. Look from multiple angles and distances. Use reflections to check for straightness. And always take your time.

Holy crap. You can see the runs in the paint in a separation of metallics. I would take it back and have them respray it let them know you're a KZfaqr and that you will post another video of how they treated you

Maaco was on that show Undercover Boss and the body guy told the truth and explained the companies thought process. He got fired at the end by the CEO who knew nothing about paint and body work. Most locations are all about quantity and even on the show they filled door panel dents with bondo and just sprayed over it. It's crazy.

Maaco is economical, it's why you went there.. Same as me...... I think it looks very nice for 2900. I do agree that those dings could have been filled in 5 mins for min effort.

For a paint shop even though it’s Macco that looks terrible bossy not even done clear coat drips that’s bs that could easily taken down with a razor blade and buffed out idk how thick the clear coat is but it could easily be wet sanded as well and cut buffed and polished with swirl remover.

I am not a body guy. I have done body and paint on 3 cars in the last 40 years, all 3 in a driveway. That is an abomination compared to my first attempt. body dents, paint ripples, runs and uneven clear are unacceptable from any supposed professional shop at any price.
@mr.mckinnon5680Ай бұрын
You paid the bare minimum, you got the bare minimum. Which seems about fair. In my shop, I'm so busy with insurance work, I don't have time to deal with your little land rover. I can't augment the procedure, to fit your budget. But you take it to maaco, and they can. And you can't tell me, that you made the conscientious decision, to walk into a family dollar, thinking you were going to get the same treatment at Walmart or, costco. You knew what you were getting, when you walked in the door. If you didn't. That's your fault. Not ours.

Damn i had a car painted by maaco back in 2012. I paid $2k for their top of the line paint with some body work. It turned out great except i opted to paint the door jams. They didn't mask off the door jam stickers very well so theres a ton of overspray on them. Oh well. Now in 2024 the car looks 80% as good as it did when it was first painted. But its been garaged for most of that time.

I hate to tell you this but you should have got the paint stuff sorted out before reassembling the vehicle if you are considering having them rework it. Looks like you got the short end of the stick when it comes to bodywork and the paint work is just okay.

So.... I had my 64 dart done. Paid $3,300 with tax. My job was basically the same as yours. I just needed the super- freakishly ugly spots and rusty roof sealed up and they did accomplish that. They did better on mine on the bad places. I did have a lot of hail damage that I knew was out of scope for the money I was willing to pay. People don't notice my hail damage, unless I point it out... but, overall... I guess I am happy with my paint job, cause I didn't have to inhale fumes, or bondo dust.
@christrainor11296 ай бұрын
Paint looks pretty great but I would call them and speak to the manager. It doesn’t look like they did any bodywork. Personally I would want to bring it back and have them do what you paid for rather than getting a refund. A good PDR tech can take care of a lot of that stuff but that one sharp ding on the left quarter panel might be tricky.
@motov8-garage832Ай бұрын
Id be pissed if i I payed that much for that paint job. Thats exactly why ive been collecting all the stuff to do my own body work and paint. I custom painted a motorcycle for my first paint job and it cost me around 700$ for the paint and supply's (most of which was the custom metallic paint at 90$ a pint). When i do my car it'll most likely be the same if not a little cheaper because im just doing a basic black and 2k clear. I just dont understand why these body shops are charging these outrageous prices. The only thing i can think is that these places have turned into 99% insurance work, meaning they can charge these crazy prices and get away with it. The adverage person which is the majority just cant afoard a 5k+ paint job. The body work is the hardest part and i get it should cost some money but 1000$+ an hour is just insane..The actual guy doing it isnt making 10% of that an hour🤷♂️.. My dad recently went to a shop to get a quote on this little (4×5) dent on a rear truck door, and they quoted him 3800$🤔..its even got easy access from the inside (back side of dent). It just doesnt add up to me.. Maybe half a days labor at almost 4 grand! Shoot id work on a car a month for that price and be very happy with that😂
@DansAm766 ай бұрын
Meh, the fact that you picked it up and drove off without looking it over.... that's on you. To pick up a painted car after a rain without an inspection... you get what you get. For 3k that's a pretty ok job. Call a few independent shops and see if you could duplicate it. I'd say probs not for less than 6k.
@BUILTOFFICIAL6 ай бұрын
Good to hear, I called a few local shops and they were all between 4-6k which is what led me to maaco. I hated that I had to get it in the rain but I'm back working full time so it was the only day I could go.. Like I said I normally paint em so I'm not used to picking em up.. expensive and painful lesson learned
