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?

Debbie you are such a LIAR, I just called Matco, once they charge you back they no longer collect on the PSA, now the rep couldn't tell me about a letter and the supervisor I'd in a meeting, so later tonight I will waste 5 more minutes of my life answering a question for you.
The reason we are on here is to show the world you and Tommy boy post unfactual information. Tommy tell Jerry I said hi
Right there with you brother!!!!
Goodnight guest, ... our offices are closed now , please call during normal business hours.
Let me get this straight.......................guest2 writes a reply to himself- matco1 (formerly guest3)..........every once in awhile guest17 (also former guest1) chimes in so he can answer his own posts as guest69.............all (1) of you pathetic losers should just change your name to Cybil.
All the attempts to derail the topic are so transparent.
Gary....another unfactual statement.
I was never guest1, was guest3, tried to be guest69 but got spanked by admin. But I am currently MATCO#1. I am not guest17, all of this can be confirmed by admin. Guest1 and guest17 are NOT me.
De-rail, no Gary it's called spreading the truth!
Admin you have my permission to tell gary I am not guest1 or guest17
i am guest2. Not trying to derail, just want to spread the truth
Debbie you said
WHY am I so worried??? GEEZ – read the posts – I can already feel the boot print on my butt!!!!!!!! ONLY a matter of time – and it will come for me
it will come for you
it comes around for EVERYBODY
Well it seems like Matco has only terminated about 45dbrs a year(thank you guest for the info)
The rest have failed and quit on their own.
Guest said
No way these guys are successful dbrs. they’ve got to be wasting the time of some clueless employer.
Well guest I have over 650,000 reasons to show you that I am a dbr.
Nice! Guest2. Are you at 80% npa...lol.
I meant to say do you purchase 80% on a daily basis.
I mean that's it...only 650,000?
