Car repair welding
Proper welding is critical to car repair. Replacement parts must be welded with updated MIG welding techniques and equipment to protect their structural integrity.
Mechanicals
With today's cars, all mechanicals - such as the steering assembly and wheels - attach to the body of the car. So, their relative position to the engine, transmission and axles is critical.
Fit & finish
Maaco helps maintain the value of your car by restoring it to its pre-accident appearance. We carefully align the exterior panels to ensure the seams between the hood, fenders, grill and bumpers are true to factory specifications. Then we apply our advanced color matching technology.
Replacement auto parts
Maaco's standard practice is to use only original equipment (OE) parts. In some cases - if the car is older, if OE parts aren’t available or if you and your insurance company want to economize - we can provide either used or aftermarket parts.

Surface Rust Auto Body Maintenance
Protect your vehicle from body surface rust
Surface rust occurs when the paint surface has been broken. The bare metal oxidizes (rusts) and then "pits" the bare metal. Rust must be repaired or it will get worse and ruin the new paint surface.
Repairing auto body surface rust
Because the bare metal is pitted, surface rust cannot simply be sanded away. The Maaco system insures a seamless, cost-effective repair using the following steps:
Rust Through Auto Body Maintenance
Prolong the life of your car paint job by preventing rust through.
Rust that has broken through has actually come from inside the panel. The problem is worse than it appears on the outside,
because the accumulation of trapped dirt and moisture speeds up the oxidation (rusting) process.
Rust-through is an automotive design problem seen more commonly with older cars. Today, manufacturers design panels that
minimize dirt and moisture entrapment.
Although nobody can guarantee the problem won’t return, Maaco assures a seamless auto body repair that will definitely
prolong the life of your car - for a great value that’s really cost-effective!
Repairing rust through
To ensure a seamless repair of rust through, Maaco will:
We work the metal outward.
We apply body filler to cover remaining minor surface irregularities.
We featheredge until the filler and old paint blend smoothly into each other.
We prime the surface to prepare the vehicle for refinishing.
Cut away the metal beyond the rusted area to make sure all rust is eliminated.
Grind away paint in the surrounding area, clean out the dirt in the area, and apply rust inhibitor to the interior panel.
Fashion and weld a new piece of metal, or apply chemically bonded polyester filler to the vehicle
Acid-etch the new metal to remove any microscopic traces of rust; fill, level and prime for a seamless repair.
