Resolved: Non authorized charge

Updated by user Jan 26, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. The company was not at fault, this was an act of fraud and the card was cancelled.

Original review Jan 25, 2024
I was billed $ 240.70 on my credit card for a purchase I did not make. I have reported this charge to my credit card as fraudulent and would like a refund immediately. This charge occured on Jan. 22, 2024.

These bums cant get any orders correct, i been trying to contact them with calls,emails but i am getting no answers. They sold me used sockets, gave me a cheap adv socket and charged me for opti torq, there has to be a real supervisor that can take care of these trash employees.

Terrible Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased a tool box in 2018 and have set up automatic weekly withdraws from my checking account, it is now 2023 and today I received a credit alert for 3 months past due. I received NO phone call from Matco stated there is a problem with my payment.

I contacted the company and they stated 'my bank stopped paying in May'. I contacted my bank and the last payment request was made on 5/1/2023. My bank also shows NO payment denials (so I'm confused). I have also verified my debit card is the same number and that it has not expired.

This account has been current and payments have been made since 2018. This morning I called and was told I have a 1 min. wait time, I was on hold for at least an hour. When someone did answer I let them know I wanted to make a payment to bring my account current and they took my S.S.

# and disappeared, this happened 3 times.

The customer service for this company is the worst I have ever dealt with in my 57 years of existence. I will NEVER purchase another Matco

Issue with tool repair and tool truck operator

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Jun 17, 2023

The tool truck operator took back a tool from me to have fixed I only paid $200 for this tool when he notified me that it would cost me $125 to repair this tool which only needed a head for the ratchet I told him to hold off for a minute let me think about it I tried and tried to contact him after that he did not come by when he finally did show up he told me that my ratchet had been destroyed that he had tried to contact me which was a lie the guy lives less than 10 mi from me he knows where I work he has not tried to contact me at all what I believe happened is he stole my tool had it fixed and resold it to someone else now I'm out of a ratchet and $200 and this is what matco supports hopefully someone from matco reads this his name is Cody rhinehart

Why is loss $250 and not $200?

What "you believe" and "what happened" may be two different things. If you have no proof other than a feeling, forget it. JFK said "Forgive your enemies but remember their names."

Tool warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Over the years I have purchased a lot of matco tools spending at least 10k have a matco roller cabinet . I don't remember what that cost but over 6k We have no representative in our area .

Broken tools used to be able to be traded to mac or snapon now since they can't even get them replaced I can't even trade them . Part of the expense of the tools is convince and ease of warranty. I really wished I hadn't bought matco because it's been 10 year since I've seen a rep . How can you make this right ?

I have broken tools and need them replaced

I'm really not in a remote area lots of shops . Snap on is area for a day every week .

User's recommendation: Don't buy matco tools . Their tools are only as good as the your dealer . If your dealer leaves so does your service

Horrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have a credit account with Matco & have never missed a payment. Today I was advised that I was behind & it was negatively affecting my credit.

I spoke with Chance in customer service & he was very rude, kept talking over me & did not want to assist me with the issue. Chance told me that Matco has been calling me to inform me the status of my account is behind, but I have not received any calls. I tried explaining this to Chance but he was only interested in telling me that I was wrong. They reported me to the credit bureau for no payment in the month, but they send the report out before the month is over.

I made the payment on 5/31 & yet Chance refused to let me talk to anyone else to try to resolve the situation. He was completely unprofessional & disrespectful. Matco tools arbitrarily reported me for missing a payment for May, even tho they processed my payment on 5/31. My balance before my payment was $110.50.

After my payment today, I owe them $40.50 & that will be the last I do business with this company.

Tools are overpriced for the quality. Snap on will get my business every time

Pros:
  • Will just go with snap-on from here on out
  • I learned my lesson
Cons:
  • Company customer service is terrible
  • Poor customer service chinese made

Preferred solution: Reverse my negative report for non payment. This took 38 points from my credit.

User's recommendation: Don’t buy Matco

Matco is horrible, they have always had poor customer service & support. The tools have gotten cheaper & cheaper over the years, outsourcing outside of USA & using cheap metals for their products but still charge as a premium product.

Guest

You must have missed April’s payment. Nothing is reported to credit bureau until it is 30 days past due.

Untrustworthy company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
not trustworthy. recently looked into Matco Tools as a franchise opportunity. was specifically told very directly that there would not be a hard pull on credit just to get more information and talk about what's involved. the rep said a soft pull is all they use to see if you meet the basics to be able to discuss. imagine my surprise when I started getting credit alerts and hard pulls on my credit report for truck leasing out of state. both me and my wife. not cool at all. buyer please beware. if they will lie like that up front what else will they be dis honest about? now i have to sit on the phone with all three credit company's to try and get these un authorized pulls off my report.e stay awaypleas
