When Maaco was founded in 1972, it wasn’t just another auto body shop. Maaco was created for an entirely new category. Founder, Anthony “Tony” A. Martino saw a gap in the industry: drivers were forced to choose between low-quality paint shops or high-priced collision centers and dealerships. What was missing? An affordable, reliable solution for quality auto painting and light auto body repair.

That solution became Maaco, and with it, Tony coined a term that still defines the brand today: cosmollision.

When it comes to resale value, a car’s appearance plays a major role. Buyers often make judgments within seconds of seeing a vehicle and faded or damaged paint can quickly turn them away. While a paint job might seem purely cosmetic, it can also serve as protection—preserving the vehicle’s body and helping it hold its value over time.

Car paint does more than make your vehicle look good—it plays a critical role in protecting your vehicle’s surface from rust, UV damage, and environmental wear. Whether you’re considering a fresh coat for a daily driver or a fleet vehicle, understanding the science behind a professional car paint job can help you make smarter, longer-lasting decisions.

At Maaco, our mission is simple. We provide quality auto painting and body repair, performed in a timely manner, and at a reasonable price.

Your car’s paint isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a protective barrier against the elements. Over time, environmental factors can take a toll, leading to fading, chipping, and damage that diminishes both your vehicle’s appearance and value.
