Subsidiary. }} MAACO Collision Repair & Auto Painting is an American franchisor of auto painting and collision repair shops based in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded in 1972 by Anthony A. Martino and Daniel I. Rhode. HistoryTen years before MAACO's founding, Martino had launched AAMCO Transmissions with partner Robert Morgan. He created both names by using the first letters from his name (Anthony A. Martino). In 1967, with close to 500 stores in operation, Martino sold AAMCO to Morgan. In 1972, Martino opened a pilot auto painting center in Wilmington, Delaware. He chose the name MAACO (Martino, Anthony A. and Co.) to instill confidence in potential franchisees who knew of AAMCO’s success.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} The new company grew quickly, with close to 200 franchises open in less than five years. In October, 2008, Driven Brands of Charlotte, N.C., a holding company which owns Meineke Car Care Centers, Inc. as well as Econo Lube and other auto service related concerns, purchased Maaco outright from Martino's family after his death in January 2008. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 1993, a MAACO franchise in Framingham, Massachusetts won a painting contract for Massachusetts State Police cruisers, which caused controversy after a Boston newspaper reported that some of the MAACO shops involved in the contract were owned wholly or partly by Jane Gnazzo, the wife of Jerold Gnazzo, the state's Registrar of Motor Vehicles.[2] MAACO Franchising, Inc., has been cited numerous times by Entrepreneur magazine as America's #1 auto body shop in the Annual Franchise 500 survey.{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} Advertising campaignThrough the 1980s and 1990s, the company ran a television and radio ad campaign featuring the slogan "Uh oh, better get Maaco".[3][4] MAACO was the sponsor of the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas from 2009–2012 at a reported $1 million a year.[5] Company detailsSince 1972, Maaco has repaired more than 20 million vehicles. The company currently has more than 500 bodyshop locations across the United States and Canada. Maaco has trademarked the term North America’s Bodyshop.[6] The franchises provide auto paint and auto body repair services for nearly 500,000 vehicles a year, more than any other paint and body repairer.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}.
