MrQuickPick's Shark Tank Proposal - Second Round Video Submission

This Car Unlock Service is Looking for a “Lyft” from RideShare Companies... Multitasking Drivers Could Unlock “Uber” Profits (as well as Cars!)

While “ride-sharing” companies like Uber and Lyft have been around for a few years in some cities, they only recently hit the streets of Louisville KY. When they finally did, Jon Taylor was watching closely, very closely. “I could sense the similarities that their businesses had with ours and the technology their services used was one that ours desperately needed” said Taylor, founder of MrQuickPick Lockout Locksmiths. That technology was the gps mobile app and the transparency that came with it. “If ever there were an industry in desperate need of transparency it is the entire car unlocking business. Too often a haven for unscrupulous “bait and switch” tactics and the frequent target of local troubleshooter news stories, we have been long overdue for some serious industry changes”.
And that’s what was appealing about the ride-share app. Facing similar challenges, these ride-share companies knew that integrity and transparency went hand-in-hand. The customer wants to see who is coming and know that they've had a background check, that the company is legitimate and will do what they say they will do for the price they say they will charge. There is accountability. All very important to both the ride-sharing and car unlocking businesses. “I wanted to be in that loop so much that I became a ride-share mentor (trainer) and founding driver for Lyft in Louisville”. The hands-on experience with their mobile app system and the technology they use made it more clear than ever that my lockout business and this industry needed the same platform”.
Now Taylor is trying to take the “same” concept a step further, as in the "same" drivers. “Why not? We’re all driving around town, serving our customers, waiting for the next call. Why not have a few ride-share drivers in each city also trained to unlock cars? It’s only about a $50 tool kit and I can train most anyone to unlock a car in a relatively short amount of time. It’s not a dirty or difficult job, in fact it’s actually kinda fun! Once it catches on as an additional service offering it could quickly add millions of dollars in annual revenue to both businesses, as well as a bit more clout. “I’m still in the early stages of gauging interest, but I truly believe the first company that wants to join forces in this endeavor will be pleasantly surprised. Let’s run a test market in a ride-share established area and see what happens. The app is already in place. Marketing and drivers are in place. We add a few tools, tweeks and training…look out!”.
