What a missed call costs an Abbotsford locksmith

Scam calls flood the trade and most owners screen aggressively. A real lockout call from a real renter goes to voicemail and the renter assumes you're closed. They scroll to the next name.
What Avidra does
Avidra answers your phone, however you've wired it. Live with AI voice, or text-back if the call goes missed, or both running together. The caller gets a real response. You get the captured lead.
The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the callers are in your inbox before you do.
Where the math breaks even
Break-even is one recovered job a month for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one locksmith lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
Two ways to set it up
Two setup paths. Path one is forwarding: your existing business number stays the front door, calls ring to your phone, and Avidra only catches the unanswered ones. Path two is direct: the Avidra number is the front door, AI picks up every call live, and it transfers to your cell when the caller asks for a human. Most one-truck shops use path one. Larger shops with reception coverage usually move to path two.
The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.
What Avidra does and doesn't
Avidra answers calls live with AI voice, or texts missed callers back if you'd rather. It runs your intake script. It captures jobs and relays messages to your customers when you ask. What it doesn't do: write your invoices, schedule your techs, replace your dispatcher, or pull customer history from your CRM.
It never quotes a lockout price. It doesn't verify ID. It doesn't dispatch a tech. The text captures location and lock type. Everything else happens on your callback.
The math on your missed calls
The numbers on a locksmith your size.
7 calls/week missed$150 avg job$1,050 / week$4,550 / month$54,600 / year
73% of callers don't leave a voicemail. They call the next locksmith on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Calls locksmiths in Abbotsford actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Transponder key program for a 2015 Honda. Rekey after a tenant move-out. Master key system for a small office. Smart lock install for a short-term rental. Pick up first and you book the job. Pick up second and you don't.
Off-hours calls run differently. Tighter, more urgent, less willing to wait until morning. Lockout at 2am with no other key holder reachable. Post-break-in rekey before the homeowner leaves the property. The shop that picks up fast keeps the work.
What the year looks like
Lockouts spike in summer (slammed-door season) and after long weekends. Rekey work is steady year-round with a small bump in moving season May through August.
For most locksmiths, the call volume isn't flat. You probably already plan staffing and on-call coverage around the peaks. Avidra runs the same in busy season as in slow. No per-call charges, no surge pricing when the inbox gets loud.
How setup actually works
Setup is forwarding plus a script. Your existing business number forwards to Avidra so the AI picks up live calls and catches the ones that ring through to voicemail. You edit the default intake script in both directions. Voice and SMS share the same questions.
Most owners are live the same day. The test is a single call from another phone. The AI answers the call, walks the caller through the intake script, and captures the lead. After that, ring busy and watch the text-back fire.
Why speed matters more than channel
The lead is warm for about five minutes after the call. After that, the caller has scrolled to the next name and most likely already dialed. Email lands too slowly to matter for booking decisions made in that first five minutes. A text-back inside seconds keeps the caller engaged through a short intake while you finish the current job. By the time you call back, the lead is qualified and already expecting your voice.
Common questions
Will it work for after-hours auto lockouts?
Yes. After-hours scripts can stay active or pause depending on your preference.
Can it differentiate residential, commercial, and auto lockouts?
Yes. The first question branches the intake based on lockout type.
Will it quote a lockout price?
No. Avidra is configured to never quote a price for lockouts. Pricing happens on your callback.
What about callers who don't speak English?
The intake supports a configurable second language. Most owners offer English and one other.
Will it route a smart-lock install request?
Yes. Smart-lock install requests capture the model and the existing door hardware.
