When Maaco was founded in 1972, it wasn’t just another auto body shop. Maaco was created for an entirely new category. Founder, Anthony “Tony” A. Martino saw a gap in the industry: drivers were forced to choose between low-quality paint shops or high-priced collision centers and dealerships. What was missing? An affordable, reliable solution for quality auto painting and light auto body repair.

That solution became Maaco, and with it, Tony coined a term that still defines the brand today: cosmollision.

Your vehicle’s bumper isn’t just cosmetic. Your bumper helps absorb impact and protect you and your passengers. Even small dents, scratches, or cracks can compromise safety and lower your car’s value if left unrepaired.

When it comes to resale value, a car’s appearance plays a major role. Buyers often make judgments within seconds of seeing a vehicle and faded or damaged paint can quickly turn them away. While a paint job might seem purely cosmetic, it can also serve as protection—preserving the vehicle’s body and helping it hold its value over time.

Every fleet manager knows that keeping vehicles moving is what keeps the business running. But between tight schedules, repair costs, and compliance demands, maintenance can easily slip into a reactive pattern, waiting for something to break before taking action. Consistent fleet maintenance is more than just upkeep. It is a cost-control strategy that protects profitability, extends the lifespan of your vehicles, and preserves your company’s reputation on the road.

Scratches on your car are frustrating, whether they happen from a parking mishap, brushing against a tree branch, or a runaway shopping cart. While some are minor and barely noticeable, others can stand out and impact both the look and resale value of your vehicle.
