When I first moved to FL about 20 years ago I worked for a Maaco in Sarasota owned by Bob Ridgeway and son, I think Bob has passed away now. I was always afraid to add that to the long list of shops that I had worked at because of overall reputation or industry reputation but Bob ran a good shop and the quality of the paintjobs and some of the bodywork was outstanding, I have since then worked at shops with decent to excellent reputations where the end result was no better for alot more money.
About a year ago I again worked for a Maaco here locally, I figured what the hell it was close to home, I lasted maybe two weeks, the quality of work was unbelievably horrible, there was not a fellow there that took two cents worth of pride with himself home at night.
