- SSSummerApr 10, 20265.0Martin is amazing! He’s efficient, respectful, and reliable, and always completes my calibrations quickly. I ran into a bit of trouble, and he went above and beyond to help me out and make sure everything was handled smoothly. 10/10 — highly recommend! -Mya
- MGMiles GunterMar 23, 20265.0Very respectful and helped me immediately
- JJJenFeb 24, 20261.0I spent 3 hours on the phone just trying to schedule a simple appointment. I was transferred multiple times before I got to someone that had no idea what she was doing. I spent 1 hour and 15 minutes, just with her alone. She either hung up or got disconnected just as we were finishing up. The vendor said they saw my appointment on the books, but it was cancelled shortly there after. Not one agent that I spoke to had a clue what they were doing. Or they simply were not interested in working and thought it would be okay to just keep transferring me. The device itself has malfunctioned numerous times. Even causing my vehicle to shut off in the middle of an intersection with my CHILDREN in the car. The interlock device puts lives in danger, more than it saves.
- SLSid LeakeNov 17, 20251.0Absolutely horrible experience. Ron, Since my initial message has gone completely ignored, let me be absolutely clear: Smart Start has created a situation that is not only unacceptable, but now escalating because of your failure to respond. I am a disabled veteran living in a VA facility, and your company’s negligence has already caused me to miss work, lose transportation, and waste hours dealing with a device that your team installed incorrectly. Your support representative’s behavior—laughing when I asked whether I’d be reimbursed for towing—was disrespectful and insulting. What should have required one technician visit has turned into finger-pointing, zero accountability, and now silence. Since Smart Start has chosen not to correct this, I will make sure every veteran community I’m connected to is aware of the treatment I’ve received. That includes every VA facility resident group, as well as Tunnel to Towers, US Vets, and additional veteran outreach and social channels. Veterans have each other’s backs, and I will ensure no one else is put through the experience your company has put me through. This is your final opportunity to resolve this professionally. If Smart Start wants to avoid the reputation fallout that is about to come, I expect: 1. Immediate contact from a manager, 2. A technician on-site to fix the issue, 3. And written confirmation that all costs caused by your faulty installation—including towing—will be covered. If you choose not to respond again, then you’ve made your stance clear. Your move.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Start Ignition Interlock
What do I need to bring to my installation?
Bring a photo ID and proof of residence in the form of a document verifying your address. You may also be asked to bring any documents that pertain to your case, depending on the state in which you or your program are located. If any other documents are required, one of our friendly Program Advisors will let you know.
How do I know if Smart Start's devices are compliant with my program?
Smart Start is a NHTSA certified Ignition Interlock provider, so we’re able to meet all of the alcohol monitoring authority’s requirements to ensure that you’re compliant within your state or county.
How often does my Ignition Interlock Device need to be serviced?
You will be asked to bring your Ignition Interlock Device in for regularly scheduled services. Call our knowledgeable Customer Care Center to find out how often your IID will need to be serviced at (800) 831-3299.
What do I need for removal?
Requirements will differ by state, but generally your state authority must grant removal authorization before you can have your IID removed. You will then need to fill out the Device Removal Request form on our website and upload any official documentation that may be required to authorize the removal.
Do I need an Interlock Device on all of my vehicles?
Some states will require that you have an Ignition Interlock Device installed on all cars registered to you, but most states will just require that whichever vehicle you drive have an IID installed. Check with your state authority to see if you will need an IID installed on all of your cars.
Does the Interlock Device mess up or hurt my vehicle?
No, Smart Start's Ignition Interlock Device (IID) will not hurt your vehicle in any way. Our service technicians are the best in the business and are able to install on all vehicles, even hybrids and electric cars!
How long does it take to install an Ignition Interlock Device?
The time required for an Interlock installation will depend on your type of vehicle but we recommend blocking off at least two hours to make sure you are prepared to not miss any other appointments or work.
Where can I find an Ignition Interlock Device?
It’s easy to find the nearest Smart Start location on Google or on our online service center search tool. Go to the Locations tab on our website and enter your zip code into the search bar.
How do I use an Interlock Device?
Using a Smart Start Ignition Interlock is easy! When prompted, blow into the device for a few seconds until you hear a click that signals the test is complete.
How much does an Ignition Interlock Device cost?
Exact IID prices will vary by state, but you can find our current pricing on our Ignition Interlock Cost page on our website. Our expert Program Advisors are also available to provide you a custom quote and schedule your installation today!
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.
How do I schedule an appointment at a service center?
Although Smart Start strives to accommodate each customer’s schedule as best we can, you must schedule an appointment to install an Ignition Interlock Device. An appointment ensures that Smart Start has all the relevant information for you and can provide exactly what you need to fulfill your restricted driving requirements.You can fill out our online form to schedule an appointment, or call (800) 831-3299 to speak with a trusted Smart Start Program Advisor today.

Are there additional fees applied to do a same-day installation for my IID?
There are no fees to accomodate same-day Ignition Interlock installations. To find out the exact Ignition Interlock price in your state, call (800) 831-3299. A Smart Start Program Advisor will help you determine the exact amount for your area of residence, but know that we always strive to give you the best value and the lowest cost in your total Ignition Interlock package.
