It’s the best way to experience the business firsthand, regardless of your automotive background. You’ll quickly see that the truck is more than just a vehicle—it’s your office and a fully stocked store of top-quality automotive tools.

Distributor Routine

At the start of your first ride-along, the Matco business owner will explain their route and introduce some of the shops you’ll visit.

They usually know everyone by name and have built strong relationships with each customer.

These connections are key to providing personalized service and growing their business.

First Stop

When you arrive at the first shop, you’ll notice some people will stop what they’re doing. That’s because being a Matco Distributor is not anything like what you thought “selling” might be.

This is because our customers actually appreciate your being there and you’ll see this as many will immediately start walking your way.

The arrival of the Matco truck is something people are interested in and even look forward to throughout the week.

Overall Impression

On a Matco ride-along, you’ll get an authentic look into the daily life of a hardworking individual who owns their own business.

You’ll gain valuable insight into what it truly means to be your own boss and run a Matco franchise, experiencing firsthand the challenges, rewards, and independence that come with it.
