- DDDaveSep 3, 20251.0gave me a lockout for no reason. I let them know that I would be performing maintenance on my car, but they did it anyway. They charged me $75 to unlock it.
- OBOliver BerlicJul 2, 20244.0Update: I was contacted by a very friendly customer representative who sorted out my issue on install below. Once I have the unit removed I will update this review. I will now be keeping my car hooked up to the trickle charger if I’m not using it. So I had a free installation coupon and clearly stated it to the person who scheduled my install only to be charged $356 when I went to pick up the car. I immediately called Intoxalock to see how this happened and what the resolution would be. They said for me to pay and they would then credit my account for the total cost out of pocket. Called after the weekend to see if there were any updates only to find out that nothing at all had been done. They also informed me they would only credit $100 for the install since that is their company policy. I spoke to a manager twice now and still have no resolution to this issue. I will continue to pursue this as I will not accept paying $356 to have this installed when it should have been free. So that was just the installation aspect. The unit and device itself is another problem all its own. By no means is it easy to get a good test. You need to blow as hard as you can for 3 seconds suck as hard as you can for 3 then blow again for 2. It’s incredibly unsafe to be doing while you drive and it’s beyond me that this is mandated by the DMV. I got the installation on Friday and my car wouldn’t start Sunday afternoon not having driven it one day. Prior to this I had zero issues with my car battery. Nothing that Intoxalock has said has this been true. All I can say is be careful and avoid needing to deal with them in the first place. I look forward to the day when all this is behind me.
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. 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.
