Hi, I lurk here quite a lot and thought I would chime in. I have owned a MAACO (20 years) and all my TA's are painted at that location. I agree not all MAACO's are not the same and most MAACO's do not do restorations or high end work because it is hard to pay the bills doing that type of work in our system. I do them because I enjoy it and like the relationships I build with my customers.
