is there any difference between a respray and an actual paint job? If you get a respray of the same oem color to they sand everything down and reprimer? Or do they just paint over the stock color??

I would avoid Maaco like the plague. I ex-GF got her car painted there and we ended up taking it back like 3 times to get all the issues fixed.

Check out ultimate collision on route 1 (287 and route 1 meet)
They're the best body shop from what I've heard.

EDIT: also try posting on NY metro. local quotes ftw.
