MATCO TOOLS Franchise Complaints

• i posted a warning on the vet expo site. maybe someone will read it.

• An advertorial is an advertisement in the form of an editorial or news story. Advertorials differ from traditional advertisements in that they are designed to look like the articles that appear in the publication. Most publications will not accept advertisements that look exactly like stories from the newspaper or magazine they are appearing in. The differences may be subtle, and disclaimers—such as the word “advertisement”—may or may not appear. The tone of the advertorials is usually closer to that of a press release than of an objective news story.

  The “stories” and interviews that have run in Professional Distributor CLEARLY fit this definition. While it is apparently not “illegal” it most certainly is misleading. However; that may SOON CHANGE. May 2011 The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) filed suit against 10 operators of advertorial websites that promote acai berry weight loss products. The websites are affiliate advertisers that earn commissions by steering consumers to a seller’s website where the consumer can purchase the products promoted on the affiliate’s site. The FTC alleges that these websites mislead consumers by posing as objective news outlets and failing to disclose the site’s financial connections with the sellers of the products featured in their “reports.”
  All of these sites use an “advertorial” format to promote the seller’s products. An advertorial is an advertisement that appears to be a news report. This is permissible if the financial incentives for the report are disclosed to consumers in a clear and conspicuous manner. But, the FTC alleges that these websites went too far and misled consumers by posing as objective, independent news outlets. In many instances the connection to the sellers were not disclosed, and when there were disclosures, the FTC alleges that the disclosures were inadequate.

  Clear bias can be gathered by the multitude of so called “interviews” printed in Professional Distributor. In addition, the “financial incentive” for Professional Distributor to print the multiply glowing reviews is not noted – nonetheless it only makes sense that Matco at a minimum “encourages” Professional Distributor to publish these “interviews”. Which only makes one wonder “WHAT FINANCIAL INCENTIVE” was provided.

  It seems that most news articles are driven towards influencing us rather than informing of us of something. This includes pretty much everything — articles on politics, consumer products, financial markets, global warming, and so forth. If advertising (and hence money) is driving these articles, are these articles just nothing more than disguised advertising? Of course they ARE!

  I find MOST of this Financial Investment copy to deceptive……………….

  I chose Matco because of their training
  Matco’s world class training system was the key that jump-started my franchise. They made 100% sure that I knew the business before I got out in the field. Matco’s established system of ongoing personal support and training is still the key to my success today

  Deceptive Advertising
  According to advertising law, an advertisement is considered deceptive if it contains a statement or omits information that “is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances; and is, ‘material’ – that is, important to a consumer’s decision to buy or use the product.“
  Essentially, the law states that your advertising cannot be misleading. You have to tell the truth, or clearly label your ads so that no reasonable person could mistake your intent. Advertisers [and their advertising agencies] need to have a reasonable basis for advertising claims before they are published.

  MATCO’S CLAIM OF WORLD CLASS TRAINING WAS ABSOLUTELY DECEPTIVE. IT MISLED ME………………

• Bait and Switch Tactics

  It’s illegal to advertise a product when you have no intention of selling that product at the advertised price. Bait and switch tactics are illegal, period. If you advertise a product, the law says that you have to intend to sell it as advertised.

  HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU RECEIVE THE BI WEEKLY FLYERS, WENT TO ORDER THE PRODUCT – WELL BEFORE THE FLYER GETS TO THE HANDS OF THE CUSTOMERS…………………….. AND THE PRODUCT WAS ALREADY SOLD OUT, ON BACK ORDER, OR OTHERWISE JUST NOT AVAILABLE

  THEN you give out the flyer, customer SEE the GREAT deal, and OF COURSE, you can’t get it……………………………

• Just noticed Snap-on has way more jobs listed than Matco on Careerbuilder, didn’t check Mac

• well, doesn’t THAT violate FTC regulations as well??

  It makes me wonder, HOW MUCH IS CAREER BUILDER getting paid by THESE
  FRANCHISES to ADVERTISE franchise opportunities AS JOBS

  how deceiving is that???????

  WHO holds these sites ACCOUNTABLE????

  HOW many people read these supposed “JOB” listings looking for REAL JOBS
  only to find out they are reading ADVERTISEMENTS FOR FRANCHISES???

• I was just reading the Jobs.net ads for dealers and Franchisee’s near my area, Matco is advertising for new Franchisee’s where there are already existing Matco distributors with no room to split the routes…whats up with that??

  More terminations coming??

  ALL FRANCHISEE’S IN BUSINESS LONGER THAN TWO YEARS ARE EXPENDABLE

  IT’S IN YOUR CONTRACT

  YOUR COMPANY HAS BETRAYED YOU

• Debbie,

  The real IMPORTANT ISSUE is!!! How many people looking for a JOB end up getting SUCKERED into becoming FRANCHISE OWNERS through MATCO’S False Advertising!!!

  There in lies the FRAUD!!!

  Someone thinking they are inquiring about an “OUTSIDE SALES” position which we all know to be an EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ends up calling Matco and TIM GILMORE picks it up from there. With all his lies that he claims in his False VIDEOS he creates to lure in UNSUSPECTING people who need WORK!!!

  NOT!!! THEIR OWN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• https://www.facebook.com/careerbuilder

  My question is,,,, Why? If it is against FTC regulations to ADVERTISE franchise opportunities as actual JOBS – WHY DO YOU CONTINUTE TO DO SO????????? Matco Tools – You continually ADVERTISE for a franchise that is for sale, a franchise people NEED TO BUY, THIS is NOT a JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I BET if Career Builder feels the BACKLASH of their FRAUD – they may PULL the MATCO LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Matco Tools has unfairly terminated successful distributors, sold NON viable routes to others and LET THEM FAIL – only to sell their routes again and watch the process repeat!

• 3 days ago Jacques Gordon commented “We have received several comments on our news item about the 2012 Matco Tools Expo, suggesting that we are not telling the whole Matco story”

  and NOTHING since

  does this mean they don’t care?

  does this mean he thinks WE will go away???????

  Well, I’m a bit persistent, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN INTERVIEW – YES AN INTERVIEW, IN PROFESSIONAL DISTRIBUTOR ON THE TRUTH

  Why? won’t Professional Distributor interview me, Todd, Tommy, or Richard??

  Could it be they are being PAID by Matco to simply advertise??

  Well, unless there IS an INTERVIEW showing the opposing views, the ONLY conclusion anyone can draw is
  YES MATCO IS PAYING FOR ADVERTISING!!!!!!!!

• IN addition, I ASKED 3 days ago a question of the editor:

  Ladymatco
  Collapse
  Erica Schulz
  Managing Editor | Vehicle Service Pros

  let me ask you, do you really care about what is going on at Matco Tools???
  Or are your articles just ‘advertisements’ for them??

  Real journalism would show both sides, I think the story REALLY NEEDS TO BE TOLD

  Matco tools has been accused of CHURNING distributors, there is a LAWSUIT alleging SBA LOAN FRAUD, the VET FRAN program simply abuses our servicemen…………

  Please we need an article showing BOTH side of this story, the SCAM needs to be exposed

  3 days ago

  WHY HAVE I NOT RECEIVED A REPLY???????????

• http://www.vehicleservicepros.com/news/10635011/matco-tools-introduces-new-president-at-tool-expo

  YES, I’ve posted the above comments on the above page as well.

  You see, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE TRUTH

  In addition, I don’t plan to stop until I GET ANSWERS

  MATCO MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

  I personally plan to do just that!!!!!!!!!!

• These comments were made a few days ago on Professional Distributor’s page

  Disgusted

  Non-Matco products? Wake up. EVERYTHING Matco calls their own is a non-matco product. They only exception being the boxes. Probably why you see hundreds of Matco DBR’s at the ISN show don’t you think?

  guest100 posted the below in response

  Disgusted

  You failed to mention the Matco dbr’s at the ISN expo have their travel/hotel expenses completely paid for by ISN, not like the Matco expo where the dbr will pay more than DOUBLE the listed room rates and DOUBLE occupancy and it is mandatory that you book through Matco and stay at their hotel or you are not allowed into expo…
  And to top it off the deals at expo are so meager that even many of the exhibitors are complaining about slow orders. Many of the exhibitors are not happy about how they are getting reamed by Matco to attend their expo.

• NOW I ASK YOU

  AND I SERIOUSLY WANT AN ANSWER…………

  Hasn’t anyone questioned the pricing policies at Expo????????

  I can tell you from PERSONAL experience, the first Expo I attended,

  AT THE URGING OF MY DM, DESPITE THE FACT I HAD ONLY BEEN A DISTRIBUTOR FOR A FEW MONTHS

  I wondered then, how Expo was cost effective??

  After all, the “deals” SUCK – the pricing breaks were SO nominal my husband wanted to pass

  We decided to go, ONLY because WE wanted a vacation in Mexico :)

• yes,they really do need to inerview debbie, ask her if Matco added to hr route, ask her if she only worked 4 days a week,closed fridays. ask her if Matco tried o do anything else to help her.if they tried to help her i would guess most out there got offers of help but only wanted to do it there way and failed, not lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• oh how sorry I feel for you……….

  “Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt”

  I did NOT receive any additional customers for my route, for it I HAD, I would have had someplace to go on Fridays………………..

  Really, now, I have NO DOUBT…………

• Of course

  Matco ROUTINELY sells NON viable routes…………………

  So, what does it really matter, what half ass, lame, sorry excuse for help they “say” they give a year later????????????

  I’ll tell you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, doesn’t matter a damn bit!

  Too little, too late

  ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN SOLD A NON VIABLE ROUTE IS SCREWED

  Half ass, lame, sorry excuses for help mean NOTHING a YEAR into your franchise as TOO MUCH MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN LOST

  ALL ACCORDING TO MATCO’S NEFARIOUS PLAN……………….

• oh an BTW, shall I speak slower or in shorter posts??

  Apparently, some can only respond in one, two, or three lines

  AND REPEATING – ALWAYS – THE SAME DROLL , PITIFUL, SORRY, BORING MONOLOGUE

• Of course, the REASONS for such childish retorts……………

  THERE ARE SOME REAL ISSUES THAT MATCO AND THEIR MINIONS SIMPLY DO NOT WANT TO FACE

  Easier, of course, to stomp their feet, and shout out
  ‘SHE DIDN’T DO HER JOB!”

  Of course, easier, than facing FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Which, BTW, will be EXACTLY what happen when Matco’s feet ARE held to the fire!

  THIS will not end until JUSTICE is served.

  so, LEAD, FOLLOW, or get the HELL out of my way

• Debbie LOL!!
  Just read the “job” listings from”Jobs 2 Careers” and there are 33 available in tiny Rhode Island and over 700 out in California…These must actually be the number of terminated distributors over the last 5 years for those states, hilarious…

• It’s interesting reading through these comments and you realize that the people that have lost their franchise misrepresent some of the things that they’ve recently found on the Internet.

  Debbie tonight finds a jobs website showing over 4k jobs using the keywords Matco Tools. Organized laughs that there are 33 jobs in Rhode Islands. Doesn’t take much effort to click on one of the state links and realize that the search includes any job description that uses the word ‘tool’. Hence there are jobs for Fidelity Investment included in that 33 jobs in RI.

  Todd has recently complained about tax credits given to hiring veterans, however he nevers states how Matco can use these for the veterans that would becomes franchisees. If you read the rules regarding the tax credit, they have to be on the payroll, not a franchisee.
