Well, I stumbled upon this shop while looking for some work to be done to my work truck. Not only…read morewere they courteous, polite and accommodating, but they were beyond fair in price as well. Peter and Paul went out of their way to help me before the holiday weekend and did it for a quarter of the price of anyone else. I will be recommending this business to other people as well as friends and family. Things were done with the utmost precision, care, and my time was valued and respected. Now, as for reading through the other reviews...I am not one to respond on other people's experiences, but I must say that the Porsche debacle seems completely insane. If you can blow someone's transmission in 6 miles, that is impressive. Sorry, your car was about to break and timing just made it so you could scapegoat someone.

We brought our car to this location and received an estimate for a full paint job and to repair the…read morefront right fender well trim piece, as it was hanging, from brushing against something and there were superficial paint scuffs on the front right bumper. We spoke to the owner, William Palumbo, Jr. (Bill), who suggested we get a "mid" grade package, not the cheapest but not the most expensive, the Urethane + Integrated Clear Coat, which comes with a four year warranty. He also added in 1.5 hours labor to repair the front right fender. The estimate was for roughly $1,550. Before booking an appt, we inquired how long it would take, we were told, "depends on when you drop it off, could be 3-4 days, could be 6-7 days", so we asked for a time where it could be done in 3-4 days, understanding it could be a little more, he said bring it to me in a week, so we did. Ten days later we were notified it was done and we could pick it up. 10 days, not 3-4 or even 6 or 7, fine, we thought they must be doing an extra good job on it, so it's fine, we didn't call and complain at all. Apparently, any small and not critical trim pieces, like the one in the fender well and even the ones on the door, to protect the door edges, get removed and not replaced, with this particular "mid grade" paint job, Bill did not mention this. So, with that being said, the 1.5 hours to "fix" the trim hanging off was not to replace it, as we thought it would be, it was to just take that piece off, which, apparently, they were going to do anyways. We spoke to Bill about it, and even came back in, Bill claims there was also body damage there, which both my wife and I are very certain there was no more than scuffs. Bill also said he had a picture, but, interestingly enough, he only had pictures of the actual parts which had real damage or delaminated paint, he had not taken a picture of the front right bumper, as there was no damage. Consequently, in addition to not repairing the trim piece, as discussed, the inside edge of the fender wheel is also still damaged, not smooth at all. There was also damage caused to the plastic body side molding when they prepped the vehicle for painting. In addition, there are "dirt nibs" everywhere, I stopped counting at 50, and "fish eyes" which are sort of the opposite of dirt nibs, they resemble holes in the paint job more so than little bumps, like the dirt nibs. Bill advised he could fix the wheel fender and the side molding but the dirt nibs and fish eyes he says should be expected, he did not offer to fix those. He advised we would have to leave our car with him again, this time for "a day" , which we now know means 3-4 days, which I advised him I was uncomfortable with, given he seemed very angry that I wasn't happy with what I got. I advised it would be hard to trust him, given his angry disposition along with the fact that we already felt tricked or lied to about the "fixing" of our front wheel trim piece. I asked him to instead refund whatever amount of money it would cost him to repair the car, hell, I told him even $20 would be acceptable, as it was more about principle than the money, he refused and told me "we don't give any money back". Finally, I asked him how he was going to respond to a review I may post for his shop, he replied, "I don't respond to negative reviews, I have 500 reviews and four and a half stars", so I guess Bill does not care about customer satisfaction, nice! There is another Maaco in Union, NJ, I called and discussed the matter with them. They advised a shop and or equipment that is not kept clean according to a strict schedule would cause the dirt nibs, and that they do discuss that with this level of service, there can be some dirt nibs, but industry standards typically dictate more than a few dirt nibs per panel should be addressed and corrected, even with this "mid" grade service. I will be bringing our car to their location to correct the sloppy work performed here. I've attached some but not all (as there is a limit) pictures, so anyone who goes here knows what to expect.

QAB has done work on three of my cars:…read more A 2003 Serra pickup truck tail gate, where other shops said I needed a new tailgate, he fix the problem for 60% of the cost. it has been a year no issues. Our second car was a restored Porsche 944 (1984), as with any older car, things came up as we went along, I was always informed and given options prior to fixes being implemented, the car looks as good as new, and it is turning heads. Our third car was side swiped in the street, 2009 Hyundai Azera, the worked was done in a timely manner and once again, the quality of work was above and beyond, best part is the side swipe was on the driver side, so the 2007 looks like a new car. Very reasonable prices for the amount of effort put in on every project. Follows up afterwards to make sure we were always satisfied with the quality of the work. I would highly recommend Pat and his team at QAB. Mike T.
