Three Years of Rebates
MAACO also rebates product for converting businesses – 75 percent (75%) the first year, 50 percent (50%) the second year and 25 percent (25%) the third year. Once you have converted your business, all of the benefits of the MAACO auto repair franchise are available to you immediately. As a MAACO franchisee, you are able to rely on MAACO’s time-tested networking and system resources.
MAACO is a retail and production operation and does not rely on insurance companies as part of its strategy. The impact to our system as the DRP industry has continued its consolidation has been insignificant. Converting to MAACO’s platform is simple. Willingness to grow your current business and a desire to align with a nationally recognized company is all that is needed to begin discussions on how we can join forces to work together as a team. There are two different types of conversion programs, both designed to get your center up and running within 90 days.

Acquire to Convert
The Acquire to Convert program is a terrific way to get into business fast. Once you purchase your license, we will help you identify existing independent body shops for sale in the area. We will also cold call, network with brokers and knock on doors in order to determine if a viable center is for sale. In many cases, the cost of entry is greatly reduced compared to opening a new center and sellers are willing to finance a portion of the transaction. Our Acquire to Convert program is the optimal way to get into business quickly.
Convert to Own
The Convert to Own model is designed to take existing independent paint and body shops that have the desire or need to modify or enhance their business with our proven production model.
Are you currently an independent paint and body center that has been financially damaged by the loss of Direct Repair work? If so, MAACO may be the perfect solution for you. Our retail production element is the perfect complement to your collision model. With nearly 25 vehicles a week entering each of our centers, you can get your center operating at a fast pace again. Our certified franchise centers are averaging $973,000 per year, with the bulk of all dollars coming from spot repair and overall paint jobs. Consumers know and trust MAACO and will be knocking on your door to have their vehicles painted and repaired.

Before I converted to a MAACO, I used to run a successful independent body shop; however, the last five years were extremely tough. I began a new journey in my life the day I signed my MAACO franchise agreement. MAACO made me feel welcomed, important and comfortable. MAACO wants you to succeed and is with you every step of the way. My helpless feeling is now gone and revenue is exploding.
