MATCO TOOLS Franchise Complaints

View Comments

• Oh, by the way Jay, I have a gravy job, I sit behind a computer all day, make a great living, wife dosent have to work , like the rest of the world, she stays home , takes care of the kids, like a mother should do this day and time.

  I have all day to play, I dont have to put together taiwan made carts, package up defective products, and there are alot of them, listen to matco's bullshit, and wonder how much are they going to take .

• Was the night before Christmas and all thru the house  every creature was stirring, every last louse

  The dreams were all hung by Matco without care
  In the hopes that another sucker soon would be there 

  The distributors were nestled all snug in their beds with visions of happiness dreamed out of their heads 

  I in my truck and hubby out of luck had just come to wonder WTF

  When out on lawn there arose such a clatter 
  I jumped off the truck to see what was the matter

  And what to my wondering eyes should appear
  But a  class action suit and Matco in fear

  Down the toilet they had been flushed 
  so to Jerry they rushed

  He gathered all the proof and was off to court in a hurry
  We then knew we no longer had to worry

  I heard him proclaim as we hoped that he might
  You can all now have a Merry Christmas 
  and to all a good night!

• Beautiful christmas carol, we will all sing to matco, go job,Deb.

• very cute debbie :)
  Merry Christmas to you all.

• I hope everyone has a safe Christmas, enjoy time with family and lets continue to bring matco to their knees.

  BE LOUD AND BE HEARD.

  Cornwell didn't apply to be included. If they had and didn't make the top 500 they still would have been listed as "not ranked" They aren't. So Matco is #1 of 2 in the rankings.

  If you read http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/franchise500/about.html you'll see the whole thing is bogus anyway.

  "We do not measure subjective elements such as franchisee satisfaction or management style." Also " "Remember that the Franchise 500® is not intended to endorse, advertise or recommend any particular franchise." Really?

  Franchisee satisfaction isn't important in picking a franchise? Obviously not to them.

  I would venture a guess that if Snap-on had ponied up for a full-page ad, they'd be the ones posting "#1 (of two) franchise!"

  Like I said, amusing.

• Guest it's bogus in your opinion because you don't agree. But the facts are there are 3 tool franchises in the US and MATCO Tools is ranked #1.

  By the way guest...where was your route?

• Jay, 1 more week baby!

  Hey remember havasu and kingman the 2 dbr's that told me Matco screwed them on their routes because it should be 1 huge route, both were below 80 npa. Both the guys that replaced them will finish top 100 this year. Both were working 4 days a week, both never attended sales meetings, 1 never went to expo no toting, just complaining about how bad their routes were

  Junior that should make happy about havasu, dbr, remember how many waves he created when he pissed all the dbr's off.

• Guest were you above 80% npa?

  Did you got to any sales meetings

  Did you go to expo?

  Junior – Tommy your jig is up. You will never get the respect of a distributor once they’ve heard that you disrupted your DBR training to challenge policy, you disrupted meetings to challenge policy, you started your campaign to change the Matco plan month into your distributorship. You agreed to the UFOC/FDD yet you challenged it from day one. No wonder you failed.

  Let’s hear more stories from the folks that actually had something happen to them that might convince us they were wronged. But you sir failed before you ever hit the street. You should have never told the top 25 that “I even questioned the trainer in my DBR training and he had to get Tim Gilmore to answer for him”. He got Tim involved hoping that would get you to stop disrupting the class.

  Tommy will write – LIES LIES, let’s keep posting gang, be load, don’t worry about proving anything, in Tommy’s World we can say anything we want and never have to back it up.

  Tommy wrote – “AS I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE ON HERE, YOU NOR ANY OF THEM WILL SHUT ME UP.IT IS CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH.”

  Junior – In your case Tommy it’s called smoke in mirrors. You signed a separation when you realized you had spent so much time arguing about policy your headcount had suffered. Remember? You even told us that your DM tried to tell you that you needed more customers on the books and you replied “should I work at night?”. He replied “No, just work during the day would be nice”. And you ended the conversation. You told the story, your DM couldn’t believe you even mentioned this conversation.

  Tommy wrote – “Jay, just keep Jerry’s number, it won’t be long before you will need him, numbers show it’s a matter of time.We will be here for you, we can help.”

  Junior – This is too funny Tommy. Jay knows more about the business then just about anyone on here. This is a guy that’s seen the highest and the lowest in this business. He knows how to take control of a business and take it straight to the top. Jay wheels more tools out of a meeting than most carry on their trucks.
  Tommy wrote – “DOES MATCO MAKE ANYTHING? OR DO THEY JUST HAVE THEIR STICKER PUT ON OTHER PEOPLES PRODUCTS?”
  Junior – Here’s another example of what you do Tommy. You assume we are all idiots here and make a stupid statement like this. Tour the Matco Tools toolbox plant and then make this same statement. This is why your credibility is under severe question. NO REALITY in your claims.
