Initial appointment setup was fine, but the actual install was a nightmare. Arrived for my appointment at the assigned time and was told I was supposed to have had my vehicle there two hours prior, though this was never communicated and was not reflected on any of the four emails I had verifying the appointment. Dropped my car off and received a phone call at the end of the day that they had not done anything with my car as the unit had not been delivered. The next day I received an email stating that I had missed my appointment which I had not. I had already contacted the shop where my installation was to be completed that morning and they still did not have the unit but told me they would call me when it arrived. I called Intoxilock to clarify that I had not missed my appointment and the representative tried telling me that my unit had been delivered to them. When I stated that that information was incorrect and I had already spoke with the shop, the representative retracted her statement and said it was in route to the shop. This installation cost me extra time without a vehicle as well as costs for unnecessary ride share trips as the equipment was not delivered when I was told it would be.
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. To read more on Intoxalock, you can read our ignition interlock device guide.
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.

Intoxalock devices allow you to retest after a short wait if alcohol is no longer detected. Always follow your state’s guidelines to remain compliant.
Can I install an ignition interlock device in a vehicle I don’t own?
