To get started, simply provide us with your details, and we will arrange a time for your interlock installation at your nearest service center. Typically, we can have an alcohol interlock installed in your vehicle within 1-2 days.

An alcohol interlock is a breathalyzer that is wired into your car's ignition system. It records every start, stop, test result, violation, and kilometers driven, providing a comprehensive report for authorities to view.

Before starting your vehicle, you will need to provide an alcohol-free breath sample. Once you pass the test, you can start your vehicle and continue driving. Random tests will be prompted by the interlock device while you are driving, and it is important to take these tests to avoid violations.

Each month, you will need to visit a service center to have the data downloaded and the interlock device calibrated. This process usually takes about 15 minutes, and the monthly payment is made at the time of the service.

For accurate personal breathalyzer testing, we recommend using a separate device. Testing yourself with the interlock device may potentially cause a violation, which can extend the length of time you have the interlock installed.

If you are eligible for the alcohol interlock subsidy, leasing an interlock will only cost you $149 per month. This subsidy covers the cost of your alcohol interlock license, installation, $50 per month towards the lease, removal, and your zero alcohol license at the end of the program. If you are not eligible for the subsidy, the standard pricing is $199 per month, and you will also need to pay for the initial installation and removal at the end of the program.

When you get your interlock installed, you will need to pay the installation fee and your first monthly lease to the service center. Additional fees may apply if you do not adhere to the requirements.

The interlock device is similar in appearance to a breathalyzer and is attached to your vehicle. It is roughly the size of your hand and can be mounted on a clip on your dashboard or stored near your gear lever. It does not need to be visible to anyone outside your vehicle.

Rest assured, the interlock device is only connected to the wiring under the dash and under the bonnet. At the end of the program, the wiring is restored to its pre-installation conditions.

In addition to interlock devices, we also offer the Smart Mobile remote alcohol monitoring device with a built-in camera and cellular modem. This device is designed to monitor sobriety and immediately notify stakeholders of any missed or failed tests. We also offer the Lifeloc FC10 and DriveSafe exec breathalyzers for personal use. These devices are accurate, durable, and built to last.

At Smart Start Interlocks - Morrinsville, we take pride in our track record of over 10,000 successful interlock installations in the last decade. You can trust us to provide reliable, professional, and efficient service.
