Bakersfield, Calif.—Maaco has announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art center in Bakersfield, Calif., owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Mikayeel Khan and T. Adil Chowdhury.
The shop spans more than 9,000 square feet and is equipped with two advanced paint booths, enabling production capacity of up to 40 vehicles per week. With growing team of technicians, painters and customer service professionals, the shop will provide collision repair, dent removal, rust repair, refinishing, cosmetic upgrades and insurance claim support.
“After years of driving impact in corporate and nonprofit settings, we wanted to bring that same level of excellence, discipline and customer care to a hands-on business that directly serves our community,” said Mikayeel Khan. “Auto body and paint work has always fascinated us because it blends precision craftsmanship with visible transformation — helping people feel proud of their vehicles again.”
Adil Chowdhury brings a background in safety, operations and environmental consulting, including EV safety training from I-CAR. Together, the owners plan to continue investing in certifications.
“Our Bakersfield Maaco center was designed from the ground up to provide exceptional service at scale,” said Adil Chowdhury. “We are building a workplace where customers can feel confident in the work being done on their vehicle, and where our team members feel proud of their contributions.”
Beyond automotive care, Khan and Chowdhury are committed to community engagement. They plan to partner with local schools, vocational programs, and nonprofit organizations to create pathways for youth skill development, mentorship, and career growth.
“We believe small businesses can play an important role in supporting workforce development and neighborhood safety,” Khan added. “Over time, we hope to build partnerships that provide opportunities and resources for Bakersfield families.”
