I brought my 2009 Chevy Malibu in for an estimate because I wanted the frame addressed, the windshield repaired/replaced as appropriate, and the affected area repainted. J Smitty Automotive provided a preliminary estimate with a Grand Total of $3,985.17. For context, I purchased this vehicle for approximately $6,000, so being quoted nearly $4,000 for the repair was not reasonable to me. What left the interaction with a bad impression was that there was no attempt to recommend a more cost-effective path forward or explain alternatives - only a very high estimate. I then obtained another written estimate elsewhere for the same problem area ("Front Windshield and Frame") totaling $375.00, which I found far more reasonable. To avoid any confusion: the repairs shown in my before - and - after photos were NOT performed by J Smitty Automotive; they were completed by the other shop after I declined this estimate. Based on this experience, I would not recommend proceeding here unless you are comfortable with a risk of significantly inflated pricing.

This is my second time using Maaco for body work repair…read more My car was hit after two cars collided and one rolled into my front end. I luckily only had damage to my front right bumper. Two years ago my car was backed into and damaged my rear driver's side door and I took it to Maaco to replace it. They did such an excellent job with the door replacement, that I never considered going anywhere else. My front end was restored to better than the condition it was in before the accident. They cleaned up my car, inside and outside, so it looks as good as new. Liz is excellent! She remembered me from two years ago and handled the entire insurance claim expertly! All I had to do was drop the car off and pick it up when it was done. If you need body work, I'd recommend you go this shop for the work. You won't be disappointed!
