At Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting, it’s what’s on the outside that counts. Maaco has been making, and keeping, automobiles aesthetically pleasing since 1972. Dubbed “America’s Body Shop,” but renowned worldwide, Maaco maintains nearly 500 locations across the globe. Since 1972, we have repaired over 16.5 million vehicles—enough to create a 15-lane traffic jam from Beijing to Shanghai.  Currently, Maaco provides auto paint and auto body repair services for over 12,000 vehicles a week and 600,000 a year—more than any other company in North America!





Worth A Second Look

Maaco is regarded as one of today’s best automotive franchise opportunities. With system-wide sales approaching 1/2 billion dollars, we are North America’s number-one automotive aftermarket franchise in terms of unit sales. Maaco has been recognized by experts in both the franchising industry and the media for our overall excellence, growth potential and helpful support systems for store operators.

Why painting your car is so complex:

Auto paint is the most complex paint made. Its purpose is to enhance and protect the beauty of the auto body design. It also comes in 10,000 colors and effects, and has greater luster, shine, depth, and weather resistance than any other type of paint. Yet it is only .003” thick! It’s easy to see why auto paint repair requires great skill, experience and expertise.


Light metallic paints

 

Light metallic paints (silver, for example) have a lower percentage of pigment - which means they’re more likely to break down and fade with exposure to UV rays. That’s why Maaco recommends its more durable paint systems for cars with light metallic paints. It’s the ability to protect against the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays that really defines the difference in quality and price among auto paints.




Paint Materials

The chart below can help you decide which of Maaco’s paint services best meets the needs of your car in terms of seven key properties:





Why do people paint their whole car?

Sometimes, it’s because the elements have noticeably aged a vehicle. Its surface is faded, shows cracking or peeling, or doesn’t shine or wax up anymore. Many times, a vehicle runs really well and is in good shape, so its owner wants to keep it looking good for four or five more years.

 Besides painting, Maaco has always done expert auto body repair work. We straighten metal, fix dents, repair dings, replace parts and eliminate rust.


Some Maaco customers want to get more money when selling their vehicle, or get it sold quicker. Others are giving a car to a family member. Whatever your reason, we have all kinds of approaches for painting your vehicle. With more than 10,000 auto paint colors in quality formulations that range from high-grade enamel to single-stage urethane to basecoat/clearcoat urethane, Maaco provides the price and quality you want for your car.










Auto Body Collision Repair

We will restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition

Cars are designed more safely today than ever before. Maaco’s collision repair services carefully and expertly rebuild crash design into your car.
Your car's performance (how it steers, handles, operates) and appearance will be restored to pre-accident condition.




Car repair welding

 

 

Proper welding is critical to car repair. Replacement parts must be welded with updated MIG welding techniques and equipment to protect their structural integrity.

Mechanicals

 

 

With today's cars, all mechanicals - such as the steering assembly and wheels - attach to the body of the car. So, their relative position to the engine, transmission and axles is critical.

Fit & finish

 

 

Maaco helps maintain the value of your car by restoring it to its pre-accident appearance. We carefully align the exterior panels to ensure the seams between the hood, fenders, grill and bumpers are true to factory specifications. Then we apply our advanced color matching technology.
