Disaster Assistance

To all Smart Start clients directly affected by natural disasters.

RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA  –

We at Smart Start hope that you are staying safe during the Los Angeles fires. We stand in support of our California residents during this uncertain time. Our team will work with you to reschedule appointments if you are unable to attend due to the fires. We also want to alleviate the stress of the current situation by extending the unlock codes on your Ignition Interlock. 

California residents in the greater Los Angeles area with a lockout may receive one free 72-hour unlock code by calling 866-979-0002 and speaking with a specialist. Unlock codes are effective through January 24, 2025. 

Availability of free unlock codes is subject to change or end without notice. For further assistance, please call our dedicated hotline at 866-979-0002.

The agents on this line will ensure you have all of your questions and concerns answered. As well as the direct line above, clients can always call our 24/7/365 Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299. Please do not hesitate to call our team for any questions or assistance about your Ignition Interlock program.
