Maaco

Maaco is "North America's Bodyshop" franchised with nearly 500 owner operators whose centers boast system-wide sales approaching a half billion dollars. Maaco celebrates extraordinary brand recognition and thirty-eight years without any national competition. Its combination of Cosmollision - that huge market of vehicles that have sustained damage but are still drivable - and its auto painting position Maaco as a market leader. No automotive experience necessary. Our owners come from all walks of life - accountants, engineers, managers - all share a desire to own and operate a successful business.
OUR IDEAL FRANCHISEE:
There is no previous automotive experience necessary in order to be a Maaco franchisee. We look for sales aptitude, financial management skills, managerial experience and the ability to personally devote the time and effort necessary to develop a market and delegate unit-level operations to managers and employees.
Investment firms looking to diversify
High net worth individuals with leadership experience
MULTI-UNIT OPERATIONS
Focused on multi-unit ownership. The Maaco system is actively transitioning from an “owner operator” model towards pure MSO with the larger franchisees owning between 5 and 20 units. Practice growing in 3 to 5 which best supports above shop level SG&A. We have developed tools and best practices for multi-unit owners.
Utilizing proprietary data, Maaco has created an M&A pipeline of independent shop locations that fit our business model which allows us to assist our franchisees with their first opening and subsequent growth.
