I don't have experience with my personal cars being painted there. But I worked at a paint shop for almost 4 years, and through my years of working there we had 3 cars come in that needed touch ups within 2 weeks of being painted by macco. The paint that we fixed was not properly prepped underneath so it flaked right off. Also they tend to leave quite a bit of orange peel (I'm assuming they don't color-sand and buff)
My only advice is that when it comes to paint, as with anything, you get what you pay for. If you want a show car, be prepared to break out quite a bit of that hard earned cash.

if i do take it their to get it painted, its going to be satin black. and im doing all the preping and all that stuff.

If all they're doing it sprayin for ya, then you should be fine. Maybe some orange peel, but hell, even factory cars have it lol hence the term "factory orange peel" lol. Hope your car turns out sweeeet!!
