We received the following franchise warning about the MATCO TOOLS franchise opportunity. According to commenter “TOMMY CHEUNG” :
“STAY AWAY FROM MATCO TOOLS. THEY WILL SELL YOU A BILL OF GOODS,WHICH IS NO GOOD.
“RUMOR HAS IT ,MATCO MAKES MORE MONEY SIGNING NEW FRANCHISES THAN THEY DO TAKING CARE OF THEIR CURRENT ONES.
“DARYL PRITCHETT AND MIKE RAMEY WORK TOGETHER TO SIGN YOU UP AND THEN KICK YOU TO THE CURB. I AM WORKING ON A LAWSUIT AGAINST MATCO, HOPING TO TURN IT INTO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. YOU MAY CONTACT JERRY MARKS AT MARKS AND KLEIN LAW FIRM AT [redacted], IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
“I INVESTED ALOT OF MONEY IN MATCO AND AFTER 3.5 YEARS THEY SHUT ME DOWN. WHEN THE ECONOMY SLOWED IN 2008,THEY PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS.
“I ALSO SPOKE TO A PREVIOUS EXECUTIVE, WHO CALLED ME, AND STATED THATS THE WAY MATCO DOES BUSINESS. STAY AWAY FROM MATCO TOOLS AND RUN LIKE HELL WHEN YOU SEE THEM. I REPEAT DO NOT BUY OR INVEST IN MATCO TOOLS…”
Marks & Klein is a legitimate franchise law firm that often represents franchisees in lawsuits against their franchisors, but we haven’t verified with them whether a lawsuit against Matco Tools is in the works or not.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS MATCO TOOLS A GOOD FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY, A FAIR FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY OR A FRANCHISE SCAM?

Guest, you are a waste of time. You provide no factual data what so ever, you constantly tell lies. I am very confident Matco has little concern on what you post.
By the way guest, since you cannot count months video was posted 23 months ago, not 1 year.....remember facts....
Hell no, you will never see that kind of money with matco. You have to work hard and earn it, just the way I did.
The only thing you see with matco is the back door, the way they treat employees.

Matco 1 Im tired of your bull. Give me your true name and number so I can call and discuss. You seem to be home 24/7 so I think your just a wanna be on this discussion .
If not I know your just a fake as well as your props on here.
If you put as much effort into your business as you do on here …..you would be #1 in the world and we would all praise you…..”Lord help us”
Its called smartphones former. You can post while you work.
Former, does it bother you I am on here, I have never lied about anything I have no reason too, read the post, call Matco ask for my number.
So Tommy what you are saying then after Matco took everything of yours you where able to buy a $500,000 mansion?
I guess everything turned out ok then after all!
Yep Tommy not an employee though a dbr. They treated me very well as an employee, having Gilmore back is huge, I am thinking about applying for the dm positionnow that he is back
I had the house before matco and still have it and looking to upgrade.
No thanks to matco, it was all done without matco.
Matco 1 Like I said your nothing but Trash on this site..
Enjoy your evening....I have to work tomorrow.

Man just like the good ol days interviewing, surveying, loading trucks, doing rides, putting on sales meetings, doing tool box shows, going to the colleges talking to students, going out to lunch with dbr's and riding with them. Man that sounds fun....no on second thought I will stay a dbr make more money and less headaches....you almost had me thinking about it Tommy.
