Re: aamco paint job???
aamco is a transmission repair chain
you mean maaco?
depends on which one you go to.... most do shotty work... but scattered throughout you get some decent paint jobs out of them

Maybe if you did all of the prep and gave them paint they would be OK. Not sure how bad they could screw it up if you did everything for them aside from actually painting it.

Re: aamco paint job???
I had my car painted at Maaco and it looks amazing for $270.94 out the door.
The only reason people hate on Maaco is because they take their car there after they just drove it and expect a high quality paint job. IF you do the prep work yourself, you will most likely get a decent paint job. They do no body work/sanding for the cheap paint jobs, they paint it and let it dry and it will peel and chip unless you sand and prep it first. So the people that complain are usually the ones that did no prep work. Just my opinion, hopes this helps op.
4 months after it has been painted.

Re: aamco paint job???
I think it really depends which Maaco paints your car. Years ago, I had a truck painted by Maaco and they did some body repair and prep work. It really came out nice.
