Jason at the grimes life safer is amazing. My dad had an interlock system in his old car. Ripped it out when he got a new car. Now I need to use his old car and Jason helped explain and walk me through how to get it back up and running myself. I am extremely appreciative of the help. No way I could’ve figured it out without him.
Thank you so much!

Through this whole process they were very helpful. Also the customer service was outstanding and very prompt. I would just pop in to get my interlock calibrated each month and they got it done right away. The price never changed as I paid Monty. If you want an easy painful process I highly recemmend these guys. Great company!!!

How does an interlock device/car breathalyzer work?
After the device is set up, drivers need to breathe into the car breathalyzer's mouthpiece to provide a sample.
