12 Days of Having an Interlock Device – the Best Interlock Device Tips

If you’re in a situation where you need to install an Ignition Interlock, there might be a lot of questions and confusion with this new device. For instance, what happens if you have a question about your device? What happens if a violation occurs? And what will the technician exactly say when you arrive for your installation appointment?

If you are a Smart Start Interlock client, there’s no need to worry about your program. With many clients throughout the world and years of excellent service, your Ignition Interlock period will feel like a breeze with us. Let’s go over some big tips to remember to prepare you for the first “12” days of your Interlock Device.

The Best Interlock Device Tips

• Doing Your Due Diligence – Picking Your Interlock Provider

While you’re researching Interlock providers, think about what services would be convenient for you once you install your Ignition Interlock. What is important to you that your Interlock company should provide? A discreet device? Convenient service locations? Friendly, expert service (many state-certified Interlock companies must provide 24/7/365 service, but is the agent friendly and knowledgeable?) And perhaps one of the most important factors … are they transparent with their Interlock costs and pricing?

There may be hidden fees like shipping costs that come up on your bill that will blind-side you and leave you feeling frustrated to say the least! You don’t need to worry about this added stress when you choose Smart Start as your Ignition Interlock partner. We take care of our clients and do not throw hidden fees or long-term contracts to make their program even more stressful.

• Getting the Right Paperwork for Your Installation Appointment

Not sure what to bring to your installation appointment? Our friendly customer service agents will let you know what to bring before you even step foot in our shop, making you prepared and ready for your appointment. In many states, you are required to bring your photo ID, your court or state paperwork specifying that you need an Interlock Device and your first payment.

If you have any questions about what you need to bring, you can always call our 24/7/365 team at (800) 831-3299. You can also read our installation series that breaks down state-by-state exactly how to be prepped for your installation appointment.

• Getting Comfortable with Your Interlock Device Tests

While our expert technicians get started on placing the device in your vehicle, you’ll also receive training on how to properly test with the Ignition Interlock. Don’t stress! Our Interlock Device is very simple to use. Before you leave your Smart Start service center, you’ll know how to easily take tests with your device! Remember that if you’re having any trouble during your program, you can always call our Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299. Whether it’s during a weekend, a holiday or in the middle of the night, our service team is standing by to help you.
