My wifes car went to maaco. The quality was bad to begin with & when we pointed out significant flaws, they just said "what do you expect, this is maaco?" Less than a year later the paint started to chip &peal badly, more than 1 square foot was missing. Eventually we just donated it away. <P>You might get an OK job from them if you prep yourself, but I doubt it. Some shops might vary by locationas well, but I will NEVER go there again.<P>Talk to the better buisness bureau, or news investigator web sites that look into scams. They'll usually be able to recomend good places to go.
