Question Maaco

I would like to know which Maaco does the best paint job. The one in Langley or Burnaby. I was thinking about getting the paint package called THE WORKS (Exceptional depth, gloss, color and state-of-the-art durability) Yes I heard from people that they heard they were bad but I want to hear from people who actually went to the Langley or Burnaby locations and find out what their experience was like with them.

Would Never take any of my cars to Macco no matter if they had a life time warrenty on the paint jobs or not.

My brother in law took his old camaro to one for body repair & paint. Total cost them like $3k & had to be redone 3 times because they kept screwing up on it. the last time it still wasnt right. They called the Corp. office & Corp said they didnt care. They water down the paint anyways so in 2-3yrs the cars have to come back.

Dont waste your money , they buy garbage single stage paint in gallon drums ( they dont water it down its not compatible with water ) .
My Aunt had her 93 mazda done there and it was a mess . The sad thing is it didnt really need a paint job just a good buff and a little tlc on the factory paint job. . . . now its ruined. I know a guy that worked there and they sand with scotch pads haha !! You get what you pay for.

To get a good paint job, you need a guy who has a conscience plus know how. Go to a reputable firm. There are cheap places and then there are inexpensive places. How much you want to spend?

Next time you go let me know, and I'll come speculate.

Btw, your paint seemed pretty good to me when I saw you @ the Dyno meet?
Is it fading bad??

Not really it's the dings on my hood I really want to get done but if I paint just the hood I know it won't match the rest of the car so I will have to do the whole thing.
