Maaco in Fridley: Big Thumbs Down

[Halon]

So Kevin, say you got rear ended. Say you go to 5 shops and ask for quotes to repair the damage. After you've been to all 5 places, you choose 1 to go to based on their price. You get your car back and realize they didn't touch the damage on your trunk (not some hard to see damage, quite apparent damage). You ask why and they say oh we didn't quote to fix that, sorry must have forgot. Really, forgot that blatant damage right there that we're staring at? But now that we have your business, we'll gladly fix that for some more money though if you want.

You wouldn't be irritated in the slightest?

I do suppose I'm partially at fault here for not going over the quote with a fine tooth comb, but I don't think I should have to.

Anyway, suppose you had to be there. Just trying to forewarn others. I wouldn't go there, but if you do make sure to go through their quote with a fine tooth comb before you go any further.

If I had gone to a few different shops I would have compared the estimates to see where the price differences were. Most shops are going to be right around the same area as far as price goes for the same repairs since shop labor rates are generally within a couple dollars across the board (thanks to insurance companies...). If one was drastically lower than the others, they have to be cutting a corner somewhere.

Maybe it's just cuz I'm in the industry and I know what to look for, but it's still kind of a buyer-be-ware situation.

That sucks B! Usually when you get a quote its for all the damaged fixed, I agree.

I would never go to a maaco but thats just me. Ive had good luck with Lehmans.
