Testimonials

"As long as you're a people person and not afraid to manage, you can direct your personnel and you can talk to customers, the technical stuff that happens on the cars is not really as important as it is as letting everybody know what you want to do in the shop and also communicating with your customers. I think the training you get at the home office is key to the sales end of it and they also teach you the technical part of it and what you need to know." ~Kurt Seifert, Ferndale, MI

"Before I converted to a MAACO, I used to run a successful independent body shop; however, the last five years were extremely tough. I began a new journey in my life the day I signed my MAACO franchise agreement. MAACO made me feel welcomed, important and comfortable. MAACO wants you to succeed and is with you every step of the way. My helpless feeling is now gone and revenue is exploding." ~Bob Grimes, Monroeville, PA

Nine out of 10 times the answer is there and if the answer is not there, MAACO has business or technical people you can always call to find the answer. They are more than willing to work with you and help you out to make sure that you're successful in your business." ~Steve Keel, Baltimore, MD
