Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting

Have an 1998 Toyota Tacoma and it had all sorts of fading and peeling, figured it was something I’d just have to live with… Went in and talked with Al, and he suggested a paint job that was in line with my budget (retired)…The paint job looks great.
I highly recommend them, because of the price, and the workmanship… and lastly, they did it in the time frame that was originally quoted. Great place to do business with…

I just picked up my 98 Pontiac Bonneville this morning, and it looks like a brand new car! I am so happy with the work that was done and the customer service I received. Al and Ken are the greatest guys, and made sure I was happy from the moment I got the estimate until I put the key in the ignition 2 ½ days later. They even cleaned the inside and vacuumed! Don’t hesitate to bring your car in here. I got an estimate from a body shop who wanted $ 3500 to paint my car, and for less than $ 700 it looks better than the cars I saw that they had just painted at a body shop. MAACO IS THE WAY TO GO!

They did a great job making my car something I love! Very friendly staff and awesome work. Al helped me out and his suggestions and quotes were on the mark and well below other pricing and the quality was good. You can’t even tell I’m driving around an old Prius now. It looks like new and (thanks to metallic flake) shines bright like a diamond. From boring old white to sparkling teal!

Great service and my car is beautiful thanks to Kan and Al and everyone who worked on my car. It looks amazing! I would definitely refer them to everyone

We tried this Maaco because of the good reviews on Unilocal and we were glad that we did. Al and his staff was not only very nice but very knowledgeable he explain everything and helped us every possible way including submitting photos to insurance and cooperating with an adjuster, unfortunately insurance didn’t cover any cost but we would still do the painting anyway. The corolla was like a brand new car the work that was done was excellent beyond our expectation and with change of color it was like having a brand new car. I would definetely recommend this Maaco they have such a great customer service and professionalism.

Al and Ken-​they are really nice guys. I just bought a used car that had key marks and a lot of other paint damage– oh! and a black bumper. I knew it needed to be painted if I planned on keeping it. Al explained the prices and the different degrees of paintjobs Maaco offered. I totally understood. He even lowered the price on my paintjob. #stoked– I like the fact that my car looks so much better. I wish I would have requested to see the paint though. My car has very small specks of shiny/​sparkle to it now and I am not fond of that. It also took an extra day. I still feel great about the nice job they did and about their customer service though. I would go back again for sure.

They do a great job and have excellent customer service. Very pleased with the quality of work and best pricing around.

My car got keyed by some maniac. After shopping around for quotes, my brother highly recommended Maaco because of the great Unilocal reviews. I took my car into Maaco for a quote and Al took a look at my car and provided the quote and described the work that would be done. I told him I was shopping around for quotes and he said Maaco would match any competitors quote if the competitor provided the same level of quality.
I then went to another car shop to get a quote but they couldn’t even come near the price Maaco provided! Not only that, but the competitor even said great things about this particular location.
Long story short, I took my car into Maaco to get repainted. I picked up the car today and it looks absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend Maaco on Kearny Villa!

I have a 2002 Honda Civic. The paint was oxidized and faded very badly. I got estimates to paint it from $ 650– $ 4000.
I spoke with David Rodriquez at the Maaco shop in Kearney Mesa. After looking the car over and realizing it did not need any body work he gave me a price of $ 700.03. This would be for what is called Urethane and Integrated Clear. Admittedly I know very little about painting cars. So David showed me a car that was ready for pick up that was painted exactly the same way. It looked great to my eyes. I have gotten in the habit over the years of sleeping on these kind of decisions. The next day, after talking to several friends I decided to go with Maaco.
I dropped the car on a Wednesday morning and was told they would try to have it ready for pickup by late Friday. On Thursday, about 1PM David called and told me the car was ready. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. He knew I wanted the car to use for UBER asap.
They did an awesome job! It looks as good as new! It has only been two weeks so if there is a problem with how it lasts, etc. I will report then. When I picked up the car David was not there I spoke with Al Ramirez and he took the time to answer all my questions re: what I needed to do to take care of it moving forward.
I would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone. Thank You to all at Maaco for the incredibly quick work and for a job well done.
Cheers

Had my 2002 Prius repaired and repainted last week and couldn’t be more happy with the work. The work was done quickly and surpassed my expectations. I noticed the place is under new management so that should be considered if you are looking at any previous less than 5 star reviews.
I don’t believe I could have found a better price anywhere even if I had gone outside California and the work is as good as I’ve seen anywhere. These guys are honest and have integrity. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family or anyone else who is looking for a good, honest body shop. –Mary

Exceptional work at a great price. The car looks fantastic. It is 16 years old and didn’t want to throw a lot of money at it but also wanted it to look nice. They did both. It is perfect. The staff was professional and helpful. They even offered to take me to get my car rental. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This place was strongly recommended by a friend, so I came by to get a quote and it turned out to be about $ 1,000 less than the two other quotes. I was a little skeptical due to the low price, but I went with it. The decision to go with Maaco turned out to be a great one. The car turned out perfect! It now looks like it just came off the lot. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family! Very happy customer.

YES!!! THIS IS THE PLACE!!!
I seriously cannot believe how awesome the car I am picking up looks!!!
My poor 2001 Civic has had a million scratches, dents, dings, over the years and I did not fix any of them. Then, a young girl accidentally smashed the back end and even I had to acknowledge that I needed to give my car some attention and love. After a few estimates I checked in here with Al Ramirez, who gave me several options, and worked with our budget. For the great price I was prepared for it to look basically better.
STUNNING!!! MY CAR LOOKS BETTER THAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT!!!
Please give this gem your business. You will not be sorry. THANKS GUYS!!!

My hat goes off to Dave for the outstanding paint job and customer service. Ron the owner was also great to work with. I’d highly recommend Maaco San Diego to anyone looking for a quality paint job.

SUPERSTAR SERVICE! Came in without an appointment following a minor fender-​bender in my brand new SUV. Instead of giving me an estimate to repair it, David Rodriguez said he was going to help me out. Without any wait, he took it back to his detail department and buffed out almost all the damage for free! I had no wait, was offered coffee while I waited, and was so happy when I left. Due to his help, no claim was filed & I didn’t spend one penny. Thank you!

I called as soon as they opened to make sure that I didn’t have to schedule an appointment and to bring the car over so we could talk about how much body work i would need done. I showed up on ⁸⁄₁₀ and it was scheduled to be finished on ⁸⁄₁₅. I was told that my car would need lots of body work and was in «shitty» condition. Yes I know that so why other reason would I be at a Autobody & Paint shop then? A week passes by and I don’t receive any call so i decide to check up on 8/​17, i was told that it wasnt even started yet. I understand if they were busy or whatever but no call or anything just to let me know. At the beginning of my visit, I was told that my car would be in the back of the Store locked up when they closed and I happen to be in the area on Kearny Mesa on ⁸⁄₁₉ and they were closed and I wanted to see if i could see my car in the back or something but nope, my car was left in the same exact spot where I left it on ⁸⁄₁₀. Car unlocked and left alone outside and also with the key in on position just draining the battery. I called the store on the following morning and they told me that «they didnt have enough room in the back», such a bs answer. I get the call Friday ⁸⁄₂₁ Evening saying that my car is ready to be picked up. I come on the following day instead and notice alot of flaws. First, my headlight lid was rushed and not painted all the way, my window trim area was aswell not painted all the way, and on top of that my corner light was taken out and not replaced. I take the car home and my trunk is filled with masking paper and tape. Yes my paint is alot better than my «shitty» condition as told by an employee named David but I will be definitely not be coming there again, nor will
I be recommending this Maaco location.

I just had my 1997 Chevrolet Astro Van painted. I had the color changed from white to Chevy new color Hot Red. I had some minor body repairs done and had the door jams painted as well. I stripped off my weather stripping, bumper covers, mirrors, grille and lights so they could have easy access to paint areas better. I also had my paint wet sanded and polished. David assisted me with my van. He did a wonderful job. I expected about a 8.0 score for my paint job, but I have to admit it’s pretty much a 10.0 quality job. I did put new wheels Nd lights and grille on my van to upgrade it. I bought the high end paint job package. It’s worth it I think. I will be having them paint my 1990 Corvette next year. Everyone did a great job on my van. I do recommend you get your car painted at this location. Photos coming soon.

All I can say is WOW this place is 10 stars on all levels!
Customer service and the work they did was absolutely amazing and to me those two are the most important things!
They took me in on short notice and on a holiday and had it done when they promised (expedited because I waited til the last minute) and the car looked brand new! Al was amazing he was the one that helped us from the beginning and until we picked it up. They fixed our keyed car and painted it like new at an affordable price what more could you ask for! It looks like there were negative reviews but long ago looks to be under new management which must be al so give them a try I’m so glad that I did! I will be bringing in my other car that also needs some work since they exceeded my expectations. I am a very loyal customer and will refer all my friends and family!‘Thanks to Al and everyone else that helped!

first and foremost let me say i am a very picky woman and i like everything done at it’s best.
i took my love a 1995 z28 that i’ve been working on a few years that now purrrss to my delight my paint was peeling from front to back, no gloss, oxidation everywhere, sctraches and not to mention my door had a crack from reversing while my door was open (long story)
i took my car here thinking it was going to look ok when finished… i was completely wrong!
my baby looked like a brand spanking fresh off the lot car !! i couldn’t believe the amazing detail and time al and his crew took on my car and at the price !! i will definitely be coming back for any of my other vehicle needs .
took 4days and well worth the wait. i’d give 10 stars if i could !!!

I don’t understand the bad reviews of this place. Maaco is great! My friend dented and scraped the bottom side of her car on a curb while turning right and we were freaked out. The rocker and fender were scraped (a tiny bit dented) and the front tire had a flat. We changed the tire but we still had to deal with the long scrapes and what not. We took the car to get estimates from another bodyshop right down the street but it was estimated at $ 2,500! Bullshit.
We were referred to Maaco by the Firestone manager that dealt with our flat tire and he said that he used to work with the body man (Lupe) before. Apparently hes very good at his job!
We went to this place and unfortunately we came 30 minutes before closing so only Jason at the front desk was there. No other workers. He happily gave us a rough estimate for the repair. Were going to be starting college in a few days so money is extremely tight. Not to mention that we were borrowing the car and we were supposed to be returning it ASAP! We wanted it done as cheap and fast as possible. Just cosmetic and minor fixes to make it look nicer.
Jason told us to return the next morning for the real estimate from the body man and so they could start working on the car. We came at 8:30 in the morning and Jason’s estimate was pretty much right. He sympathized with us and gave us multiple discounts. It was a steal! Such a great price! Since they don’t work on weekends and Monday was Labor Day, the car won’t be done until late Tuesday evening (today is Friday) which is pretty fast!
The crew there is so nice, understanding and funny! They truly want you to help you. Jason is super helpful, sweet and he’s hilarious. He really makes the situation much more lighthearted.
Oh, and the owner came by and offered to give us a ride home! Soooo great.
Pretty long review but I felt this place is worth taking the time to review about! Highly recommend.
