MrQuickPick Launches RideShare Partner Program

Enables Qualified Lyft and Uber Drivers to Profit by Providing Car Unlocking Service

LOUISVILLE, KY – August 11, 2014 - MrQuickPick, the national car unlocking service, announced today it is starting a Partner Program to enable qualified Lyft and Uber drivers to offer its respected, highly trusted service for motorists who have locked their keys in their cars.  The Partner Program is open for limited enrollment to selected Lyft and Uber drivers, starting in the Louisville market.   

“There is a natural fit between what we do and what the major rideshare services offer,” said Jon Taylor, CEO of MrQuickPick.  “For a rideshare driver who is out and about, with a mobile device and GPS, we can help that person make extra money by providing a very useful service to locked-out customers.”

The Partner Program emphasizes quality control and trust.  According to Taylor, many car unlocking services do not operate honorably and leave customers with unexpected high fees and often shoddy work.  Taylor has made integrity a priority for every MrQuickPick contractor he certifies.  For this reason, he feels that there is a strong potential affinity between his service and the rideshare programs.  “Both MrQuickPick and the rideshare companies value integrity and transparency,” said Taylor.  “Their customers want to see who is coming and know that they've had a background check. They need to know that the company is legitimate and will do what they say they will do for the price they say they will charge. They want accountability.  When we partner with the rideshare drivers, that’s what we will offer to our mutual customers.”

Lyft and Uber drivers who qualify for the MrQuickPick program must undergo a background check.  Once approved as contractors, they will receive the hands-on training required to unlock most cars, trucks and SUV’s on the road today, utilizing a professional yet very simple set of tools available from MrQuickPick.  “We can teach most anyone to unlock a car in a relatively short amount of time. It’s not a difficult or dirty job, in fact it’s actually kind of fun” says Taylor.

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!”.

MrQuickPick's Latest Rap - Who's Your Locksmith?

Introducing The Original Rappsmith! from MrQuickPick Lockout Locksmiths

MrQuickPick's Lockout Locksmith Band

For Just a Few Hundred Dollars in Startup, This Roadside Assistance Business Offers Exceptionally High Returns

MrQuickPick: "Uber driver with a cool set of tools"...

There are few new businesses one can start totally from scratch that offer the extremely high return on investment that the auto lockout and roadside service business does. The start-up money required is minimal, the tools required are minimal, and the training and skills are minimal. 

Please note: I am not talking about the trade of being a professional locksmith and the tools required. The auto lockout business (as part of roadside assistance) is strictly about unlocking cars and trucks, unregulated in most states and therefore not requiring one to have a locksmith license or other credentials. I'm also not talking about being a scam artist or using scammer tactics to do business. 

Being unregulated in most states, the "rip-off" artists have flocked to the fast money, high ROI of the car unlocking business. In the absence of regulation, this industry, and the unsuspecting public, need honest and fair priced options when it comes to retrieving keys out of locked vehicles. And while a traditional locksmith will provide this service, it is typically less expensive to use a lockout service with much lower overhead. Unless you actually need a key made, calling a locksmith to unlock a car is like calling a plumber to use a plunger on your toilet... most often a bit of overkill!

The actual procedure used to open most cars has nothing to do with keys or locks. It is much more like an arcade game, trying to push a button here or turn a knob there. Any locksmith will tell you that this is not really "locksmith" work. Don't get me wrong, locksmiths will do this work and do it well, but they will usually charge more than a mobile roadside assistance service.

Back to the topic...Starting your own roadside assistance service requires:

Tools - Steck Manufacturing has a kit called "The Big Easy" which will enable you to unlock 90%+ of vehicles you'll run into, quickly, efficiently and damage-free. Costs about $70. Available at http://www.mrquickpick.com/tool-shop/

Training - There are plenty of resources online (some obviously better than others) that will show you how to unlock cars and trucks. Steck actually has a video on their website that shows you how to use their kit. You can also get plenty of hands-on training at the local junk yard. Unlock about fifty+ different makes and models and you're probably better trained than most of your competition, especially the scammers!

Marketing - You have the tools and the training, now you just need the customers. What you spend to market your service will be the key to a high or low ROI. The best way to make the phone ring in this business is with a national brand and successful business marketing plan... www.MrQuickPick.com
