MAACO Collision Repair & Auto

MAACO Collision Repair & Auto is a well-established name in automotive paint and collision repair, serving communities across North America for over five decades. The company was founded in 1972, beginning as a single center focused on making vehicle refinishing more accessible and affordable. Since then, MAACO has grown into a network of 400 independently owned and operated locations as of November 2025, with a presence that spans both the United States and Canada.

A major milestone in MAACO’s history was its integration into Driven Brands Holdings Inc., a parent company that also owns Meineke, CARSTAR, and other recognized automotive service brands. This partnership has provided MAACO with additional resources and expertise, fueling its expansion and enabling investments in technology, training, and marketing. Over the past five years, the company has accelerated its growth through franchising, targeting high-growth suburban and urban markets where vehicle ownership remains strong. MAACO has opened new centers in key states such as California, Texas, and Florida, using a mix of new builds and conversions of existing auto service facilities to reach more customers efficiently.

MAACO’s approach is rooted in a franchise model, which allows for flexibility and local ownership while maintaining consistent service standards. The company continues to seek new franchisees and conversion opportunities, leveraging Driven Brands’ support to streamline site selection and market entry. Its ongoing expansion is particularly focused on markets like California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and New York.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, MAACO brings a proven operational model with a national footprint, steady demand for automotive services, and a track record of adapting to changing market conditions. The brand’s continued growth posture and affiliation with a leading automotive services group reinforce its credibility as a stable and attractive tenant for a variety of retail and service-oriented properties.
