Bird Eye Reviews

• The Columbia South Carolina location of Maaco has 123 reviews with a 4.4 out of five-star score. The most common theme was that the service is quick and of good value. Several customers also complimented the friendly and helpful staff.
• The location in Hickory North Carolina has a slightly lower score of 4.1 out of five stars. The one-star reviews all complain of unprofessional service and paint jobs and stated that the finished vehicle looked worse than the one that taken in. One reviewer on Google Business stated that the business should not offer a $399 paint job if they can't make money at that price point. The far majority of reviews were much more satisfactory than these.

Other Reviews

• Rate A Biz has a relatively mediocre rating of 3.3 out of five stars for the Myrtle Beach South Carolina Maaco location. Customers complained of damage done to their cars and sloppy work along with complaints about poor customer service and cautions to "avoid this place at all costs." This location in particular appears to have a bad local reputation, according to what several reviewers said mentioning that they had been warned by others prior to taking their vehicles in for work.
• Consumer Affairs rates Maaco overall as a 3.3 out of five stars. The reviews cover locations across the United States and are verified by Consumer Affairs by means of moderation for quality and helpfulness along with required contact information for the reviewers. Most notable about the reviews on this website is that customers are either highly satisfied (leaving five-star reviews) or seriously disappointed and angry (leaving a one-star review). Research revealed a four-star review hidden amongst the rest that stated the customer has increased the original review by two stars solely because of the customer service they received.
• Cars and Coffee Kings filmed a candid YouTube testimonial of picking up a Mustang on which they had a $400 paint job done by Maaco. They were quite surprised and impressed with the quality of the job.

Summation

• Two primary factors stand out from the above research: 1.) customer service is a huge factor in swaying the customer's opinion and 2.) having someone in place who has both the technical and personal skills (ie. David, Chris, and Joe) puts customers at ease and gives them confidence in the entire company.
