Re: Maaco in Fridley: Big Thumbs Down

If I had gone to a few different shops I would have compared the estimates to see where the price differences were. Most shops are going to be right around the same area as far as price goes for the same repairs since shop labor rates are generally within a couple dollars across the board (thanks to insurance companies...). If one was drastically lower than the others, they have to be cutting a corner somewhere.

Maybe it's just cuz I'm in the industry and I know what to look for, but it's still kind of a buyer-be-ware situation.
