Maaco is very well known in the industry as being the epitome of a "production" shop. get 'em in, dip 'em, and get 'em out. there are some situations in a 'real' shop that warrant that kind of mindset. you may be asked to do that once in a while no matter what shop you end up at. but... a shop owner will want to know that you're capable of real quality work instead of just rush rush rush. having a 'real' shop on your resume will make him a little more comfortable hiring you than if you were to have Maaco as the first and only.

let us know how it works out!
true haha yea if i went there i guess id have to make a portfolio or something if i ever wanted to move into a real shop from macco to prove my work is good ? my friend got his car paitned at macco .... i could have done a better job with an aerosol can ..
