JoshG

quite alot of body work they're doing for $800, were they damage or just door dings?

those headlights look cleaaan, need to get me some clear signals. even though they're cheap.


and even classic cars are taken to maaco... lol, theres one right next to your car on the left

NismoMaximaA32

I got a hook up apparantly since the delays due to their oven not working. This Maaco does a lot of Classic car restorations. Heck when I dropped by they had a new model Mercedes in there and they color matched the bumper correctly. Yeah my car had a lot of door dings due to me working at a grocery store in the past. Parking lot battles as you call it. Lol.

JoshG

I remember 4years ago, one of my family members got in a accident by a SUV causing the accident and they had to take it to a shop, and it was maaco, i'll show u the damage.

they were able to replace it, fix both doors, paint and such and 4years later I dont really notice anything on the paint. since I see the car everyday. so

NismoMaximaA32

A lot of people bash on Maaco but it's a get what you pay for situation. From what I heard black and white cars they do the best in painting.

JoshG

pretty much, ya get what ya pay for. dont most shops give warranties if paint starts to chip or bubble and they repaint for free? its not just maaco, but other shops can have that problem as well.

NismoMaximaA32

Lol. Yeah just depends on how much you wanna spend. The Maaco's in my
Area were once regular body shops just decided to brand themselves with the Maaco Franchise.

JoshG

I heard maaco has 6 paint lines, from cheapest to expensive? like cheapest is a quick job, and expensive is when they take it seriously? or in the middle where its not too fast or slow

NismoMaximaA32

Yup. Mine is up there cause these guys aren't rushing at all. Lol. Plus I told the manager I'll be posting pics on the org.

JoshG

nice, cant wait to see results. might be thinking to repair my quarter panel this summer since my college classes end in 5 weeks and will have no classes until September, only reason why I havn't taken my car to a shop.

dude, they had all 3 of my cars for 2 weeks or more. they take on waayy too much at once and then slap bondo on there and quick sand it and i personally would never trust them again. you'll feel and see the difference between the stock paint and "their" paint.

NismoMaximaA32

True I agree with that but we gotta see the finish product before we judge. I'll post a video of the car when I get it back. My car has been there for a Month nearly.

JoshG

Any updates?

NismoMaximaA32

Not yet, bro. I'll be checking the car out this friday.

do me a favor and get rid of those taillights please. you'll thank me later

NismoMaximaA32

Lol. Actually was thinking that also. Switching back to stock.

JoshG

i think red clears or smoke taillights would look nice.

Calabar

Where you buy I want a set and cost

NismoMaximaA32

I might smoke these and the thing is I had cracked my stock tailights.

NismoMaximaA32

JoshG

NismoMaximaA32

i really hope they do you up right man, inspect every inch of the rusted areas and the paint to make sure they did'nt over bake and cause orange peel. post pics of progress if possible, gl

NismoMaximaA32

Thanks. I hope so too. The manager is gonna paint and the dude is promising a sharp job. I seen an Altima Coupe he did and it was flawless. I guess my car is in paint prison till the body guy gets to work on it again.

that's what gets me about maaco, they can't stick to their original time frame for the job. they had my stanza for 5 weeks to do a very small amount of work and it was crap. he knows your getting ancy about it, i'd do a stop over and get a couple of quick shots to post up here.

NismoMaximaA32

Exactly. Lol. These guys love to lie to, its either Monday, Tuesday or Friday rotation of dates. I'll be posting pics once he tells me to check it out. Last time I swung by just to see the car the same as I saw it last time I took pics.

JoshG

^ how much work had to be done and how was the paint overtime? and did they do atleast decent enough work? and how much u paid for?

my insurance paid for the repairs the last time i went to maaco josh, it was supposedly 1,200.00 to fix/repaint my roof, replace side mirror. complete bull$hit, they're horrible, always have been unless you know one of the guys that do the actual work. just looking at the shots he took with all the cars in the same shop covered in white dust tells me they still have'nt changed. i hope for his sake they actually sand down the body and put the proper amount of paint layers, base, color, clear.
