I just had my trooper painted at Maaco here in Hawaii. They did a real bad job. I'm not too sure how others Maaco Companies in other states are, but the one in Hawaii rates a 0 on a scale of 0-10. Here is what happened to me.
1. Wrong color. I requested a blue color and got red.
2. When I complained the owers son got real rude and nasty.
3. There were actual small rocks under the coat of paint. Big enough to see and with in a short time will peal off leaving a big chip.
4. They didn't tape all of my window and the drivers side rubber was painted red.
5. There were serveral drip marks on the hood of my car.
6. They removed the caps to the windsheild wipers and didn't replace them.
7. Some of the tape was still on the car and when I removed yhe tape it pealed the the paint off.
8. I didn't have the inside of the doors painted, they claimed I didn't need to paint it since the orginal color was black, but now I have red all on the inside of the doors.
9. Several deep scratches on the lower part of the car. If I wasn't looking for it I would have missed it.
10. There are red paint over moldings and bumpers. Along the cracks of the tire fenders (plastic) there are collection of red paint, just waiting to be hit and cracked.
I could keep going on but I'm getting angrier the more I type. They said bring the car back in 30 days and they'll repaint it, but after what I saw I don't know if I want them to touch my car. So I cancelled my check. Its not like I'm trying to get oout of paying them, Im just afraid if I don't I'll have no leverage. When I called to let them know not to try and cash the check, the owners son got on the phone and before I could say a word he bagan yelling at me, and threatening to take me to court, then started swearing at me. Then the owner wonders why I'm frightened to take my car back to them. I would have rather paid hundreds of dollars more to have gotten a good paint job. BY THE WAY I PAID $1139.43 . dO YOU THINK I GOT RIPPED OFF???? I HAVE A BIG SUCKER WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD.
ALOHA and buyers beware,
