Review template for Car Clinic and Intoxalock
Subject: Nightmare service at Car Clinic with faulty Intoxalock device
I am writing to warn others about the terrible service I received from both Car Clinic and Intoxalock. The combination of the faulty equipment and incompetent service has created a nightmare scenario that is both frustrating and expensive.
Intoxalock: Unreliable and costly devices
My problems began with the Intoxalock device itself, which is unreliable and seems designed to cause violations. I received multiple violations for no reason, including:
False positives: The device failed me even though I had not consumed any alcohol, costing me additional money in fees.
Lockouts for no reason: My car was locked out randomly, forcing me to pay for an emergency calibration or a tow, even when I followed all instructions.
Device failure: The unit has a history of malfunctioning, draining my car battery, and causing the vehicle to become inoperable.
Car Clinic: Poor installation and lack of support
The terrible experience with the device was compounded by the service at Car Clinic. They:
Provided a poor installation that damaged my vehicle's interior.
Failed to properly diagnose and fix the device's issues, leaving me stranded and with an unreliable system.
Did not provide the necessary support to resolve my problems when the device malfunctioned.
Conclusion: A predatory system
The complete failure of both companies to provide a working product and adequate customer support is inexcusable. The process feels predatory, with Intoxalock's flawed technology and the service center's lack of accountability trapping customers in a cycle of false violations and expensive fees. If you have a choice, I strongly recommend avoiding both Intoxalock and Car Clinic.

I had my car at 212 AutoWorks recently for Inspection/Emissions and an Intoxalock install. Not only did the guys get it done quickly and professionally but their price also beat many others. The guy there helped me understand my device before I left and took the time to do so. Overall I would suggest 212 AutoWorks to anyone needing anything car related done.

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.
Where do I get an ignition interlock device?
Ignition interlock devices can be installed at certified service centers nationwide. Intoxalock offers a convenient network of locations and helps you schedule an installation appointment near you.

How long will my installation take?
Installing an ignition interlock device typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your vehicle type. Certified technicians ensure the device is properly installed and provide you with training on how to use it. Contact Intoxalock for an appointment and an accurate time estimate for your installation.
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. Depending on your state’s regulations, multiple failed tests may trigger additional penalties, such as lockouts or reporting to your monitoring authority. 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?
Yes, in most cases, you can install an ignition interlock device in a vehicle you regularly drive, even if you’re not the registered owner. However, the vehicle owner must provide consent for the installation. Intoxalock works with you and the owner to ensure compliance with state regulations and the successful setup of the device.
What should I do if my ignition interlock device locks me out?
If your ignition interlock device locks you out, it’s usually due to missed tests, failed tests, or state-specific requirements. Intoxalock offers a simple lockout override process in most cases to help you get back on the road quickly. Contact Intoxalock customer support for assistance and to understand the steps needed to resolve the issue.
