I believe that Maaco's are franchised, and the quality varies widely.

Tony Barnhill (http://www.theautoist.com) swears by his local Maaco, and has
several cars done by them. They do more than fill a few holes, and have done
floor replacements, castle rail replacements, etc.

So, as with everything else, your mileage may vary.
