I had the interlock for almost 2 years $150 a month for calibrations. I understand most people are annoyed that they’re in trouble and this is a requirement by law which is why I was trying to not do a review as it seems unfair. However, there is some predatory requirements that make it harder to pass this system. Also they’re always understaffed there and they will make you wait for over 40 min before they’ll even take your keys for your appointment that was scheduled. Glad to be getting this off and now have to come back here ever again.
