Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, take your car to maco....Ever. The only reason you take your car to maco is if you are selling it within 6 months, and don't care how the car will look in a year or two.

the **** that comes out of maaco is disgusting. I knew a girl in high school that got her car repainted at maaco (93 Z28) apparently she wanted it blue and wanted it done cheap. The car was originally black. The front bumber started chipping after 3 months, and they didn't dissassemble the car to repaint it... just buffed and sprayed. The inside of the doors were black, under the hood was black, and it was a shitty metallic baby blue I was dissapointed to see the outcome nevertheless.

maaco is only good if you lay down a lot of money. You pay them ****, and They will definitely give you ****. So you get what you pay for, but 99$ bumper sale sounds like a joke.

Try the phone book or wait for torque he sounds like a good guy
