Trying to be the best me, I can be
@serjik911 Maaco doesn't make it's money on the cheap paint jobs. Those exist to upsell Customers for additional bodywork and upgraded paint jobs. Each Maaco is a little different as they are Franchises. Most of them concentrate on getting as many cars through the doors as possible each week. 15 years ago the Owner of a Maaco talked me into coming to work for him. It was straight commission which is why I did.......for 4 months. Made good money but a horrible experience working beside thieves, methheads and convicted felons. VA has a tax advantage program that encourages Businesses to hire Felons. He hired as many as he could. I could make $1800-$2200 a week there but I was constantly having stuff stolen out of my box right under my nose. Someone picked the lock on my Macsimizer once. Stole something they wanted. You haven't lived till you worked beside a 50 yo methhead, hopped up on crank, stripping the hood top and trunk (we got tons of those jobs) of a car. He kept his stuff in a cardboard box...no lie. Working there was hell. Never again.
