Farhana Naz graduated from Fordham University with a business degree and worked in media research for Nielsen. When her brother-in-law opened his Maaco repair facility in Windsor, New Jersey, she began helping him part-time with managing the office. That eventually led to working full-time, estimating and helping with production. In 2019, with the support and encouragement from her family, she became the owner of  Maaco Lawnside, New Jersey.

In just two short years, Naz has earned one of the spots as a regional Maaco Cup award winner in 2020 and again in 2021, a testament to her dedication and extraordinary effort. Each year, Maaco recognizes outstanding performance and operational excellence among their network of owners with a regional Maaco Cup award.

“When I first opened, the great training and support that the Maaco team provided put me on the path to success,” Naz said. “After that, it was a lot of hard work, but I love a challenge! I established relationships with local dealerships, and they gave us a chance to prove our expert abilities. My team delivered with high-quality repairs and great customer service, and we continue to provide that to all of our customers.”

Delighting customers is the primary focus of Naz and her team, whether it's a fleet customer or a car owner who needs collision repair or a complete paint job.

“I ensure that no one leaves our facility until they are 100-percent satisfied with the work we have done,” said Naz. “Every customer has my personal guarantee that they will love the results.”

Maaco is always looking for people that strive for excellence and want to put their management skills to work as independent business owners. For more information, visit www.maacofranchise.com or contact the team at [email protected] to learn more about franchisee opportunities.
