Worst experience ever. Took by 2023 Toyota Tundra to a Intoxalock service center and they had my truck for over 7 hours. Still after this amount time they did not know how to complete the installation. They kept saying they were waiting for technical assistance from Intoxalock.
The service center was call JAU automotive in Fort Myers Florida. This place is sketchy at best. It’s like a shop out of someone’s house.
I could not get in touch with my representative at Intoxalock and kept getting disconnected.
So dont ever use Intoxalock or JAE Automotive. What a fiasco. I just hope they can put my truck back together
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. This one-time fee is paid at the start of your lease and covers the service center's labor to install the device in your vehicle. 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. You may be prompted for "rolling retests" while driving, where you’ll blow into the device again to confirm compliance. How-to videos are also available on the Intoxalock mobile app.

What happens if I fail a breath test on my ignition interlock device?
If you fail a breath test, your vehicle will not start, and the device will log the event.
