Taylor Made is the place to go if you find yourself needing to install an interlock device in your vehicle. They beat everyone in the are as far as install price, got it done that day, and were very knowledgeable, answering all my interlock related questions.
I had never even heard of Taylor Made, they are located in Merrimac, but they are where I now have ALL my vehicle work done now. Nate out there, pretty sure he's the owner, he's a GREAT guy. Very friendly, knowledgeable, understands the working man and dealing w auto issues. Little out of the way, but well worth the drive. Steve out there is very knowledgeable as well. I'd recommend Taylor Made Repairs to anyone for auto issues. 5 out of 5 well deserved stars!

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?
