Call Al, he will be more than happy to take you money, too. He took mine. I wanted to start my own repair business, looked great, mobile, "WE GO TO YOU' repair service. I sent him $5000 for my franchise fee, $499 for some stupid classes and another $999 for a marketing package. Then he patted me on the a*s and said go get em". Nice huh? Well now that "I'm in business and trained" I can't get him to return my calls for help, or support. I have questions on marketing, tools needed for carpet dying. I have had questions in the past about chip repair,,, all I get is the dial tone.

Al told me how great this franchise works, how he would be there to help get me started making money. Well I'm making money all right; I had to go beg for my old job back. He said the company was registered in my state, well tell that to the tax board that is suing me for not being registered. Al sucks, and so does this franchise, BS.

Al is just a salesman, Juan should contact tech support for a better experience

AUTHOR: David - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 19, 2007

I am a Paint Bull customer, Al Droste sold me Paint Bull training and equipment over five years ago and I have been very successful and have added over fifteen technicians since then. Paint Bull is very helpful after the sale with technical and repair questions, just call 800-259-2855. Some technicians don't work as well independantly as they can with a team, if you need to join a team, feel free to call RECON, Inc. at 702-862-9700, we're personally committed to your success and the improvement of our industry.

#2 UPDATE Employee

scammed by Paint Bull If I would have seen postings I might have not lost my $.

AUTHOR: Robbie - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, January 12, 2005

Hey Kenny, Sad isn't it. If I would have seen postings I might have not lost my $. I invested more that $6700, I also invested time. Time that could have been spent at my former job building up my savings, instead I lost it all on 1 huge scam. I still cannot believe it. It was a lot of money and I was taken.
No, there was not any training, and Alan told me that there was. He told me I had to get in fast because the trainers time was limited, and that I should get in before they are too busy. I got suckered even further after I called their referrals. The other affiliates working the business and doing great. They sold me well, com to find out they are paid by the company to do that. Sad huh. I will call Al today, that for his #, I was told that the only communication was email. Thanks agan!

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

Al and Co. Still Scamming away

AUTHOR: Kenny - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 07, 2005

I didn't find out about this site until I was looking for a franchise. Unfortunately there was nothing about Paint Bull up there when I looked. I wish there had been because Al took me for some dough too. About $7000 worth. I still have no idea what I bought when I gave over the money, there wasn't any training. I still don't fully comprehend the business. I do know that I can't make any money with this business. It's ridiculous really. They ripped me off and now Al doesn't respond to me at all. I just want a partial refund Al, can't you even do that for me?
