There customer service is absolutely horrible they have no idea what they are doing and just make up whatever they feel they need to.
Horrible with customers, When they don't have to say anything they drop a rude comment. They make promises they can keep with appointment times. They have no idea how the intoxilock system works, and are then inclined to brow beat their customers. If it wasn't the closest place to make an appointment I wouldn't even go near the place.
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.

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.
