I recently took my vehicle to this business to have an interlock device installed. Before my appointment, I spoke with the owner to express my concerns about potential issues with the wiring harness during installation. He assured me that, with his many years of experience and daily work in this field, my vehicle would be in safe hands.
The installation itself took approximately 45 minutes while I waited in the lobby. However, on my drive home, I noticed that the windshield pillar trim on the passenger side was sagging. I initially assumed it may have just not been secured properly during reassembly. When I attempted to push it back into place, I discovered that the retaining clip was broken—damage that clearly occurred during the installation process.
I contacted the shop about six days later to report the issue. The owner claimed to have reviewed shop surveillance footage and stated that the pillar was never removed, insisting that there was no need to take it off in order to complete the wiring. He maintained that he was able to run the wiring through without removing the trim, and therefore denied any responsibility for the damage.
Unfortunately, this leaves me with a broken interior panel and no accountability from the shop. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend that any future customers take clear before-and-after photos of your vehicle’s interior—especially around the pillars, dashboard, and center console—prior to any work being done. This may help you document any damage that could occur during installation, as it appears the shop does not accept responsibility for such incidents
Frequently Asked Questions About Intoxalock Ignition Interlock
How does an interlock device work?
An ignition interlock device (IID) is a small breathalyzer installed in your vehicle to prevent it from starting if alcohol is detected on your breath. Before driving, you'll blow into the device. If your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is below the programmed limit, the car starts. Periodic retests occur during your trip to ensure continued compliance.

What is the cost of an ignition interlock device?
The installation of an ignition interlock device, often called a car breathalyzer, typically costs between $70 and $150.

Payment is made directly to the service center at the time of installation. For more on cost breakdowns, you can read our cost of ignition interlock device guide.
How do I use my interlock device?
Using an IID is simple. To start your vehicle, blow into the device as directed. If the device detects no alcohol, your car will start.
