I had similiar experience. your qualified, send money to secure. Now your not qualified but we have a dump someone renigged on we can ut you in for ALOT more money. Then the even though we said we will guarantee a refund it's not in writting and contract states ALL verbal agreement prior to signing of contract are null and void or something to that affect. I even got a lawyer but this ompany is in Maryland and contrat states ALL arbitration done in Maryland (go figure) incuding courts and Maryland law does NOT reimbure Lawyer OR court fees to person suing even if they win. So essentaily your screwed. I would like to help you get the word out to AVOID ATL at all costs. $11k plus is hard to recover or overcome for small guy trying to get started.
thanks for your complaint.

I had the same experience with All Tune and Lube, about unfair business practices. I had expressed interest in the purchase of the business franchise. They trap you into sending money into securing a franchise licence under the impression they have banks that will back your business venture. After you sign the franchise agreement there is a clause in the contract stating they can keep the licence purchase investment if there is a break down in the business process. Well guess what they can very easily create a problem and then you are standing there out your investment.
They should not be alowed to do this kind of unfair business with people. I was lucky enough to pickup on this scam. I am writing this forum because I don't want to see anyone else get hurt by this type of business practice.
I hope this is of help to someone.......Thank You
