For Immediate Release
While “ride-share” companies like Uber and Lyft have been around for a few years in other cities, they only recently hit the streets of Louisville KY. When they finally did, Jon Taylor was watching closely, very closely. “There were similar challenges that our business models both faced, and the technology their services used was one that ours desperately needed” said Taylor, founder and CEO of MrQuickPick car unlock services. That technology was the gps mobile app and the transparency that came with it. “If ever there were an industry in 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”.
That’s what’s so appealing about the ride-share app. Facing similar challenges, the 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. 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. 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 clearer than ever that my lockout business and this industry needed the same type of platform”.
Now Taylor is taking that “same” approach a step further, as in the "same" drivers. “Why not? We’re all driving around town, serving our customers, waiting for the next call. In fact, ride-share and car unlock drivers spend over half their shifts doing just that… waiting!  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 we 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. “We’re 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!”.
