The guy that did my install back in October was great. He knows exactly what he's doing and is very educated on interlocks..life safer needs to upgrade their devices. I've had nothing but issues with your devices. With me having to leave work early or go into work late just to drive to where I've had your device installed in my car because it's not working, has almost costed me my job..I understand that people that have to have these devices is their fault but also keep in mind, we chose to do business with you. getting devices that work especially with the amount of money we pay you guys monthly, would be greatly appreciated!!
