Maaco. I went to Maacco after a minor finder bender for repairs about 7 months ago. My bumper was damaged beyond repair so i had Maacco take the old one off. Macco then painted and put the new one on. This process took three days. Macco assured me they could handle this custom repair. When i got my car back i saw only one problem. The bumper wasn't flush on the sides of the car. It wasnt to noticeable so i let it go. When i got it home i noticed there were some spots on the car where they had used touch up paint where some of the paint had chipped off. I remember the manager saying it took 4 guys to stretch the bumper out and put it on the car after it was painted. Then they painted over it again while it was on the car because the stretching damaged the paint job. They also broke the seal on my left light so now i have a moisture build up. I was thinking man this is pretty bad. I didnt think to look when i checked the car when i left. Not even 2 months later the paint started chipping in a bad way. First it looked like an air bubble under the paint. Then paint started falling off everywhere. I had had enough. I took it back to Maacco and asked Mike to repaint my bumper. He said he wouldnt do it. He said they wont even accept custom bumpers because of how hard it was to put on. I could see after the paint was coming off they didnt even sand the bumper first. It would have probably made a read difference. Maybe if they had actually put it on the car then painted it would have been better then painting it then stretching it on the car.I have been putting touch up paint on it but it just falls off over time. Anyways ended up spending $800 dollars for a repair and paint and now i have to end up doing it again. I felt Maacco this repair in such a lazy way. They just did what was easy for them. I dont see myself ever going back there. It was such a waste of time and money.
