- JCJosiah ChristyFeb 22, 20215.0Overall a great experience! Called smart start to schedule the appointment and needed a same day as I did not realize my suspension had already taken into effect. They were the only shop that was able to get me in same day. Upon arrival they were quick to begin work on my vehicle. They were extremely helpful and tried there hardest to get me out ASAP despite a few small problems they ran into. Overall they went above and beyond and treated me well. I have read many bad stories about people being treated poorly just because they are DUI offenders but at this place that is not the case. To sum it up simply, awesome, fast, and friendly service!

How does an Interlock Device work?
When you blow into your Ignition Interlock Device, you're providing a breath test sample in order to start the vehicle. The device then measures your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC), and will either say that you passed, need to retest, or failed. You will be asked to take rolling retests throughout your drive.
What can breathalyzers detect?
Breathalyzers only measure your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC).
Is an Ignition Interlock the same as a breathalyzer?
Ignition Interlock and handheld breathalyzers both test your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC), but an Ignition Interlock Device is only installed in vehicles and prevents the car from starting if there is alcohol detected. A handheld breathalyzer only detects alcohol and may tell you the concentration.
Can I unplug my Ignition Interlock?
Check with your state authority to see if you are allowed to unplug your Ignition Interlock before doing so.
Can someone else drive my car?
Yes, but whoever is driving the vehicle MUST take a breath test and pass before driving. Any failed test will still be your responsibility.
