Last thoughts on this...

Maacos are franchises. To say "Maaco sucks" is like saying, "All Irish people are drunks, all black people are lazy, all Italians beat their wives and all guys who paint cars are snot nosed, ill tempered primadonnas who think everybody else's work sucks and they say so at every opportunity."

Sorry. It just ain't so! Ya just can't generalize about stuff!

Bottom line? Maacos are as good (or bad) as the people who work there.

Also, there's a certain "snob factor" if you will, concerning Maaco. They're just so "common."

Lots of snobs say, "Oh nooooooo, I never watch television except for the news. I'm a reader." That's fine. I read too. But there ain't nothing wrong with watching a little tube.

McDonald's are common too. A lot of people just turn up their nose at them. Hey, I eat a Big Mac every once in a while. Not bad at all. Tastes good, fills ya up and the price is right.

Some people LOVE to repeat horror stories. And they love to embellish them. Some people jsut make a hobby out of knocking stuff they really know NOTHING about.

Knocking stuff, being negative just makes 'em feel good for some reason. Probably because they live shitty little miserable lives, are unhappy and like to make others unhappy.

"I know a guy who knew a guy whose brother-in-law took a car to Maaco for a paint job and neither the guy nor his car were ever seen again. His wife and kids are homeless now and she has become a crack addict and a prostitute. I swear, it's true and it's all Maaco's fault!"

I'll bet there are some guys here who have had Maaco paint their cars. But they'll probably never admit it on this forum for all the hostility the admission would probably engender.

I hate snobs. I really do.
