AutoSmith Exchange

The locksmith-native marketplace for dispatchable work.

Not a generic gig board. Each request carries vehicle context, access rules, credential gates, route pressure, and likely tool fit so auction yards, municipalities, junkyards, dealerships, referral partners, and retail customers can reach the right locksmith fast.

Why this exists
Dynamic demand routing
Auction yards need repeatable lane readiness, not consumer lead spam.
Municipal and impound jobs need release, identity, and auditability.
Dealers and referral partners want trusted specialists, not whoever clicks first.
Supply side
Verified locksmith roster

Profiles are sorted by licensing, account fit, tools, radius, and response behavior.

Demand side
Account-aware pricing lanes

Retail prioritizes ETA; yards and dealers prioritize repeatability, compliance, and batch economics.

Marketplace DNA

Reference only

Generic marketplace stacks are useful for onboarding, discovery, quoting, and provider trust scaffolding.

provider profilessearch + messagingbooking primitives
They do not understand VIN capture, key-programming risk, lot release workflows, or tool coverage.

Three-Sided Workflow DNA

Reference only

On-demand marketplace frameworks are strong at stateful work orders, role separation, and payout orchestration.

multi-party order statesdispatch handoffsmarketplace payouts
They still model work like generic orders, not locksmith jobs with credentials, access proofs, and programming paths.

Chosen foundation

This repo already contains fleet, job logging, locksmith requirements, tool intelligence, and dispatch-adjacent flows.

Locksmith-specific

Verification is part of the job

Auction and municipal work is not just dispatch. The platform has to track IDs, releases, COIs, VSP status, and who approved access.

Locksmith-specific

Tooling changes who can claim

A locksmith marketplace must score requests against actual programming capability, adapters, EEPROM paths, and after-hours lockout readiness.

Locksmith-specific

Yards and dealers operate in windows

Gate codes, lot row numbers, release desks, bench work, and inventory-turn SLAs matter as much as customer chat.

Locksmith-specific

Route economics are asymmetric

Retail lockouts reward speed, while auctions and junkyards reward repeat volume, batching, and account trust over one-off lead gen.
