Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting

If you have an older car that you don’t want to spend a ton on, but still want it looking nice then this is the place for you. I took a seriously beat up 00 accord here for a new paint job and some minor body work. It took about 10 days and honestly looks better than I expected. Is the paint perfect? No there are some slight imperfections, but that’s what I expected. The car looks great!

Stay Away!
Had a windshield that was getting repaired and the technician noticed that there was some rust that needed to be taken care of at a body shop. He suggested Maaco in Stanton. So far the repair seems OK but the place is pretty shady. When I went to pickup my car one guy was on the phone trying to soothe and angry customer who had part of their bumper fall off. The second old guy was playing solitaire on his computer and didn’t acknowledge me for about ten minutes. I paid him cash for the repair and asked for a receipt. His response was «If I give you a receipt it will have to go through Maaco and it will cost a lot more.» Shady place. Beware

Great job, … great customer service, … job well done in time. … we are so glad and happy and recommended 100%. Craig and other gentlemen. … thank you so much.

I have taken three cars here. My Toyota Camry for a bumper fix. My son’s Honda for a dent and new paint. My truck for a new paint job. All 3 times, these guys have done a superb job! They were recommended from Mission Auto Shop in Buena Park.

This Maaco does fantastic work! All the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and delivered what they promise. This is the third time I have used the Stanton store and each time I have been totally satisfied. If you have had a negative experience with Maaco before, check out this Maaco store! You won’t regret it!

I had a really great experience with Maaco in Stanton. Martin and his team painted a faded side of my truck bed to match the existing paint color and I couldn’t be happier. My truck feels complete now and even though I know I had to take it in to get painted, you really can’t tell! I ended up choosing them because of their experience and competitive pricing and I’m really glad I did!

My father and I brought one of our cars here and Rudy who’s the main guy in charge gave us horrible customer service. Long story short he told us we are not welcomed anymore.

I recently brought my Hyundai Santa Fe in for body work and new paint and have never been treated better. Martin and his staff were amazing, and went above and beyond the call of duty. I would never go anywhere else again! I highly recommend Maaco, Stanton to anyone needing auto body services.

We just picked up our 2001 Chevy Suburban whose paint was pealing everywhere. It looks fantastic, like a new car. Rudy gave us about 5 different pricing options and we chose the one below the top one. There is also a warranty. It was extremely reasonably priced and we would definitely bring a car back here.

I thought this was going to be an amazing experience. Martin was helpful and everybody was super friendly. I dropped the car off on a Monday and was informed a few days later the bumper needed additional repairs and would cost x amount of dollars. Ok, no big deal. The day my husband was told the car was ready, he stopped by to pay the remainder of the balance and was told the car wasn’t actually ready. Super annoying, but whatever. The day before we were set to pick it up, we were informed that the key broke off in the ignition and that“everybody in the shop knew the key was bent.” Weird, I never noticed it nor was I informed that it may be a good idea for me to bring a different key. The charge to repair and replace the ignition and key was $ 150. We were not given a heads up call, text, warning, nothing. We go to pick up the car this morning and Rudy says he’s going to cut us a deal. How nice of him, right?! So this is the best part: the car needed an alignment, which Martin said would be no problem. As I drove away, I noticed the car was pulling the same as before. My husband called to inquire about the alignment we were charged for but wasn’t actually performed. Rudy again with his lame excuses, asked if it could be the tires, which are brand new! Magically, the check appeared for a refund but I’m positive neither one of those crooks would have brought it to our attention if we didn’t mention it! Shame on you Martin and Rudy. Horrible people and a horrible way to run a business. I’m only giving a star because Unilocal is making me.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!!!
This place is a scam. They are crooks. Dishonest scums!!! Oh and make sure you have a few extra hundred dollars on hand for «unforeseen costs». Which means they will ABSOLUTELY be charging you for extra crap without a curtesy call. Also be prepared to shell out money for damages done to your vehicle by the staff. Talk about horrible! Tried to charge $ 250 for damages incurred while under their «care». You think someone tried to call before they fixed the «issue»?! No!!! They just tacked that on to the bill. Yeah, thanks!
I knew this place was shady from the start. I should’ve chose otherwise. They initially gave me two estimates: one for if we paid for repairs and another for if the guy that hit me paid. SHADY!!!
WILL NEVER RETURN NOR WILL I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. I am so disgusted by the company that I am going to find out what other companies are within this corporation and avoid them at all cost.
May fleas infest your eyebrows and underwear. Especially you Martin!
I feel so bad for all the people he’s ripped off over the years. Innocent hard working people with families and hardships just trying to get their cars fixed. So sad!!! Karma will meet you one day.

Very horrible place with really horrible people, Rudy the guy who works there yelled at us used the f* word over the phone when we called to complain. the paint job was so bad they Painted over dirt and grit sand and over old chips from original paint you can see the bumps, they painted the trim of the windows which i paid 80 $ extra over the tape and the chipping film and when we pointed it out like is this for real they were like that’s basically what you get, horrible experience never been yelled and cussed of in any business before i will file a complain with the corporate and take legal actions, from what i saw there and who i was dealing with i can say they look like they learned the trade in prison, so don’t try to argue with them if you are concerned about your safety and your family safety, They are a shop that mostly caters to people that are selling cars on streets.
Wanna read real people experience with this unprofessional place go to city search and also read the complains filed against them in BBB (better business bureau) some people got threatened by Rudy many times,

I bring my car in on a Monday morning to have a new front bumper cover, new headlights, the trim around my window where the film that was currently on the Crome but chipping a little, fender, my spoiler uninstalled off the trunk and a paint job. When I drop off the car I state that I would like the spoiler to still be painted and kept for me to pick up when the cars ready, just incase I would like to put it back on in the future they said that would be no problem and was told my car would be ready on Friday .
Also, I got in on half off paint special the total was 1150 out the door (mind you I had supplied my own new headlights)
I call them Friday after noon asking what time to pick up my car they tell me it won’t be ready till Saturday I say okay no problem they close at 1 anyway. I call them Saturday at 11 they say to come in right before they close. I get there ten minutes till and they have me waiting and explained they still had to paint the trim around my windows so I wait. To get me out quicker they have me signing papers and pay before I get to see my car and pretty much push me out the office and close the gate.
Martin tries to just hand me my keys and tried to leave I ask him walk the car off with me. He’s clearly in a rush. I immediately had noticed the runny blotchy paint job my new bumper had a gap in between the headlight and where the bumper should have laid on it I could see the floor threw it and it didn’t lineup with the fender correctly I ask him about that he says that the paint job just hits the car that way and that is that basically (even tho I paid extra for surfacing) and that the bumper is aftermarket and that is that I then ask if these could be fixed he said yeah that they will take a look at it when I come to pick up my spoiler on Tuesday it’ll be ready. Now I’m starting to get really ticked off at this point so I take my vehicle home and then notice the trim around my windows that I had paid extra $ 80 for they had just painted over the plasticky film that was already over the chrome and was already chipping off. Later on that night I turn on my headlights and realize my interior lights no longer work on the radio and dash and my running lights were completely off on the trunk I call Maaco they next day now being Thursday and still no call on my spoiler I’m a lil more mad now I call and explain my whole situation and everything that I’ve been noticing on my vehicle every day I’ve had it and they basically say that none of the issues or their fault that the vehicle was not like that and that these are my problems and they have no recognition of what I’m talking about Rudy answers the phone and completely cusses me and my husband out throwing out F words like it’s nothing.
We go in the next day and completely got excuses for everything every problem Martin explains that’s what I get what I paid for as if I should just deal with it and that it’s Maaco so that’s what I should expected anyways he also defends Rudy for cussing us out the day before and says we most likely started it. Childish. So they pull my car in the shop for 30 minutes and said that it was just a plug they didn’t plug in right in that it was my cars fault that it didn’t plug-​in right and that now the issues are solved and explain how there not going to charge me extra for that and it’s on the house in a smart ass way even tho it was there fault. Everything else, they had no offers of fixing any of the other problems. I ask for my spoiler back being that it’s Friday and they had said that it would be ready on Tuesday they told me to come on Saturday.
My husband and I are completely heated I call corporate and put in a complaint and soon after get a threatening call from Martin and he explains that he’s the owner (the whole time I had no idea with his un professionalism) I explain how he’s unwilling to help us out with anything THEY DID he then threatens me saying that if I don’t call corporate back and tell them that it was all false then he’s not going to give me my spoiler back I say is that a threat he said oh you could come pick it up but unpainted because this is a favor for me painting your spoiler even though that was agreed upon when I had drop the car off Monday morning. I called corporate again and mentioned the lil threat. Waiting on a call back from corporate to hopefully resolve the issues.

Started out pretty nicely. I met Martin and got a decent estimate. He noticed a lot of things that made me think he was going to pay some good attention to details. He caught a good deal of small imperfections and dents and added them onto the estimate. One thing I did not catch was the pinstripe. He listed the wrong color and I did not notice what he wrote. However, they later called and asked specifically what color we wanted for the pinstripe. My wife was specific on what she wanted and they said they would do what she asked.
Then I came to pick it up… 3 days late. That was 3 extra days paying for a rental. If they were not ready to start they should have said so and I would have waited to drop off the care with them.
Next, I notice they did not take care of 2 mid-​size dents which they charged for on the estimate. Martin was pretty unconcerned with that and just said he would take off the charge. But this is a paint and body job and now we have to keep this with 2 dents which were not supposed to be there. He did not care.
Also, the pinstripe was the wrong color. He explained that was on me because of what he wrote. I know what was written and I know I should have caught that when he wrote it, but they did call later and ask what color, telling us they would go with what my wife wanted.
In the end, I had the pinstripe redone, but had to pay for it. Martin had a very rude and dismissive attitude throughout the whole thing. I understand sometimes mistakes happen, but at least you could try to pretend you care!
The paint job looks good, minus the fact there are 2 dents left that should not have been there. The pinstripe is now good after the second time around… at my expense.
If at least Martin would not have been so aloof, this could be a 4 star review. But with their poor attitudes and lack of attention to detail, they are lucky to get 2.
Actually, I have thought about it and I believe customer relations is the most important aspect. In this, they absolutely sucked. If I could give them negative stars, I would.

These guys are terrific! I asked for a quote and they gave me 5 ranging from very low cost to very reasonable full service. I am keeping my vehicle for many more years so I opted for their highest quote and I’m not sorry. I feel like I have a brand new truck. I highly recommend these guys.

I really wanted to have a great experience with Maaco, unfortunately the staff at the stanton location did everything in their power to make sure none of this was going to happen.
I brought my classic truck (1966 chevrolet) here to get painted, after seeing a few options i agreed to have the most expensive one offered $ 1800. the owner told me all of the body work would be handled and my truck would be ready in 2 weeks time. i explained that i had just replaced all of the wood in the bed and had taken weeks to stain and seal the wood with marine grade varnish and didn’t want to have to do this again. i also told him i just installed new engine components and didn’t want them to get ruined. he assured me there would be no problem and my truck would be well looked out for.
1.5 weeks go by and im told i need to come in discuss a few issues. when i arrive martin tells me that they have discovered additional body work and i now need to pay $ 400. i was blind sided, they initially told me all of the body work would be done at this price and now they are trying to squeeze me for more money. explained that i didn’t have any more money he said they could remove the painting of the door jambs and use that money to cover some of the paint work. i agreed and once again repeated that i did not want any damage to the parts of my vehicle that i had just replaced. at this time i did notice that the exhaust had been painted. i brought this to martins attention and told him i wanted this fixed when i came back.
an additional 2.5 weeks later i get a phone call that my truck is ready. shorty after arriving i noticed the exhaust is still covered in paint, i talk to the manager and i tell him that i have found paint on my exhaust and my seat so he attempts to clean it off and returns. i mentioned that under the hood looks really dirty, he explains that they are no longer able to use a hose so they cannot wash it but when i get home it should wash right off. im not happy but i just wanted to leave so i take the truck home.
when i got home i started to really look at the truck and i slowly become more and more upset. i look under the hood and realize that its not just dirty but covered in primer. and to add insult to injury they tried to clean it with solvents so now the lettering has faded into the color. then i look and my seat still has paint on it. my brand new wood bed has been scratched and painted in spots. the body work is awful dents on every panel. my custom specialty made shifter no longer operates properly and is now dangerous (it now pops in and out of gear with no lock resistance.) the final straw was the tailgate, there was already paint chipping off and places where they just painted over old paint chips. i called and told them i was coming back.
i attempted to talk with rudy but before i could communicate any issue he interrupted every single sentence i said. he stated that maaco isn’t responsible for damages and then. «what did you expect? this is maaco» after getting frustrated with Rudy i attempted to talk to martin the manager. he told me the body work looked so bad because i had only paid for certain specific spots not the entire body to be fixed. he then said the shifter was broken before it got here and even if it was there fault they don’t do any mechanical work. the paint in the seat was going to stay and so was the damage done under the hood. after arguing for quite a while he finally agreed to paint the areas that the paint had chipped away. he refused to sand them down instead they were filled in with a paint brush. and he said he would try and clean the bed. i explained that i did not want any solvents or harsh chemicals used. he then looks at me and says «i have a sailboat» armed with this new information i repeated myself. i told him i still wanted everything fixed but this was a start.
after i got home i called maaco corporate to explain what had happened to me. after 20 minutes i get a call from martin accusing me of not holding up my deal «i thought you were a big boy?» and then finally threatening the well being of my truck. i went back and picked up my truck and was told they cleaned the bed, i could immediately feel where they had used solvents and removed the varnish down to bare wood, and there is still paint and scratches everywhere. then as i was driving away rudy runs out and hands me a pece of paper claiming they are not liable for anything.
I am now stuck with the damages done to my vehicle and have begun looking at ways to remedy my situation. it wasn’t just haw bad the work was done, it was also the lack of care. at one point i told the owner, a great deal of this could have been handled before i got here and a lot of this could have been avoided. and he agreed.
Stay far far away from maaco, i paid $ 2000 for them to ruin my car.

So far so good. I’ve used a few places on Moran St in Westminster by the Asian Garden Mall and although it looks good when it first comes out, after 2 years or so, you can tell it was painted poorly.
I gave this place a try even though a lot of people say Maaco is one of those low end places to go. So far their customer service has been great. Rudy helped me a lot and was very knowledgeable. Although he gave me an estimate for the most expensive job without asking which job I preferred, he explained why. When I asked about another car, he suggested a lower option, which was half of what the top of the line job would be. He showed me other cars and told me which option they went with so that helped! I was told it’d take 4 days, but I got it back at the end of day 3. I had to call in to check up on it. Wish they would’ve called earlier in the day since… well. they had my car and I needed to figure out a way to get there, not an hour before closing.
Overall, it looks like a great «franchise?». I don’t know if theyre franchises, but this location seems to be better than all the other Maacos.
Rudy also offered me a free small bottle of left over paint in case I ever needed any touch ups. He said not all cars will have left over, and some cars will need to be specially mixed. Maybe at a small cost? If anything, look on the side of the driver door and look for the paint code and buy it at your car dealer.
I also got a «paint detail» service along with painting my hood. They compounded the whole car and waxed it for $ 75. Usually $ 100 – 150 but I got my hood painted so they brought it down to $ 75. Looks great. They don’t do the inside, just the paint. They did skip my whole roof though, but maybe they could tell it was more recently painted. Still. I paid for the whole car to be detailed. They also just use «armor all» for the tires, which is some cheap stuff. Hope their wax wasn’t as cheap.
Again this review is based on customer service and how it looks now. I will update if anything happens! It does come with a 5 year warranty and Rudy said «you’re welcomed to come back anytime you need anything.» Hope its true!
Give them a try! Estimates are free. Good luck!

We took our 2008 Toyota Highlander here and could not be happier with the result and price we paid!
For some reason the top of our car started to lose paint and some areas started to rust so we looked up a few places that can match and paint the roof of the car only. We got two other quotes before coming to this place and one was going to charge a crazy amount of money just to do the roof so we were so glad we found this Maaco with very high ratings on
:-)
If you are anywhere near this shop look no further and head here! They have very friendly people working in the front office and they did a great job! The color looks the same and the top of the car looks pearly brand new again:-)

I’ve gotten two cars painted at this location and for the price its a good deal. Best time to come is Jan and around black friday, it’s when they throw the biggest discount/​sales on paint jobs.
My biggest gripe about their paint job is the prep work on taping stuff up. But if you do a lot of the taping yourself and bring it in, you can get a much better end product especially at the price you pay. I’ve gotten the cheaper non clear coat paint job in the past and it still looks good without chipping 10 years later…

Maaco painted my 63 Nova a few years back before Unilocal got popular, so I thought I would give them a good review, now. They did some body work and finished it off with a nice clear white paint color. It is not show quality, however, it met my daily driving needs for a good standard paint job.
There prices are really good. I plan to take my new project over, my 73 Nova. I’ll post pics later. So the white Nova pics, is the car I’m sending my review on.
