I was referred to ACS interlock last November after a DUI charge. Corey the proprietor of the business was very explanatory when it came to the process of the operation of the interlock as well as what I would be expected to do on my end for the unit. They make it very easy to make appointments for installation removal and calibration. I would highly recommend anyone in need of a ignition interlock to try this business first. read more

From day one Corey has been great! He is patient and goes over with you about everything. He is very responsive at any time. He made it so much easier to go through this process. ACS Interlock is the place to go. read more

Given the crappy circumstances, what a great experience dealing with Corey at ACS. He took time to explain everything over the phone and was very pleasant and respectful. Additionally, his pricing is very competitive. If you find yourself needing an IID installed on your car, I'd recommend you call ACS! read more

I was hoping to get my license back and looking for a good interlock company to work with. I found ACS online and got a unit installed. i heard so many bad things about the interlock device, but the devices from ACS work great and are super easy and affordable. im a super busy person so the best thing i like about this place is that they are quick and easy. ask for Corey and he will take care of you and get you out of there in no time. read more

I'm not the one to usually post on yelp, but this is a MUST! COREY is amazing ! He helped me so much. I had already went with another company that treated their employees horribly, they lied and scammed people. I was desperate and worried about where to go next. ACS interlock saves me. The service was done correctly , timing was efficient. I now feel like I am in good hands with this company. Thanks to Corey I now have the most reliable source. He is honest, helpful, understanding and professional! Thanks again Corey for all your help! This is the best place , call them now! read more

I have had my interlock for 3 years, if I had to recommend any place to get it installed and place of business to deal with for 3 years I would recommend Corey at ACS Interlock! He is always available when you need him, if at anytime I had an issue he was able to walk me through each one or was willing to even come help me. Stand up guy! I'm glad it's out of my vehicle but you will me missed Corey! Thanks for being so cool. read more

Positive: Professionalism Corey is the best! He worked with my crazy schedule and made sure we got it done. Very professional and considerate. Thanks Corey! read more

ACS Interlock was amazing from start to finish. My lawyer forgot to tell me when my start date for my IID was and after finding out my license was suspended already for 2 weeks Corey came to me for a home install. He was quick, thorough and patient while walking me through the process and how to use the device. Any time I had questions he promptly responded via text or phone call. Couldn't have had a better experience and I would highly recommend ACS Interlock if you find yourself in the same situation I did. They are professional and do not judge or question you. It was nice to be treated as a human being who made a mistake without being judged. Easy to talk to and I'm glad to have found them. Thanks ACS & Corey!! read more

Best service ever. Just finishing up and wanted to write a review to let others know they were very honest and friendly. Before installing I had heard a lot of people having issues with dishonest companies or horrible customer service. ACS Interlock stands out among the competition and if you ever need this service I highly recommend this place. read more

Honestly this experience has been so smooth with Cory. His IID systems are super reliable and easy to use. If you even have any problems (which I only had 1 and it was a quick fix) he is very responsive and quick to help with whatever problem you may be having. He's a genuine guy and explains everything you need to know and what to do! read more

Today my ignition interlock was uninstalled after successfully completing my 6 month term. At first I was very intimidated by the whole thought of having one of these things in my car, but I was wrong and it was not that bad at all. Corey is very helpful and will answer any question's you have and if you need a code or anything last minute, he's always happy to help. The device itself was super straight forward, like blow (sober) and drive, every 20 minutes or so you will be asked to retest but this isn't unique to this device, all devices do this. I found it to be very simple to use and if you ever have a problem just call Corey, he'll help you figure it out. I appreciated that I could always rely on Coreys help if needed, he's very busy, but will always make himself available to help you to the best of his ability. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone who finds themself in the predicament of needing a interlock device and thank you Corey for all your help! read more

Due to a expensive mistake had to get installation of a unit for 5 years..... the first year I had to deal with a different service center provider ... it was a total hassle!!!where they would over book clients and not respect the appointment time or take forever to service your car basically on there time ....., I then found Corey at acs and notice he gets right down to business and fast service also on time with the appointments.... ..... Finally Removed the ignition interlock unit .... what a life lesson read more

Fast service, Corey really helped me out & made this experience a breeze considering the work was on a BMW! Would recommend to anyone who needs an interlock installed read more

It's obvious that the other reviews on here are fakes if you notice they are from people with 0 friends and only 1 review, so don't be fooled! Dealing with this business brought out an ugly side of me that I never knew existed. I shopped around for interlocks, and this place had the lowest monthly rate with no charge for calibration, which sounds like a great deal at first. There is a $40 fee for rolling re-test refusals, and this is how they make their big bucks. They originally gave me faulty equipment that had temperature issues. I was locked out of my vehicle before I could get to work, and they gave me a code telling me I had to drive straight there for them to switch the device out, making me two hours late for work. What if it was court, and not just work that I would have been late to? I would have had a bench warrant issue for failure to appear due to faulty interlock. The problems did not end with the replacement device. I drive with one eye on the road and one eye on the interlock to make sure I blow within the 3 minute window when prompted. My music or conversations in the car are never too loud so that I would not hear the ear piercing retest prompt. Well, these interlocks are rigged to give retest refusals, and I would get retest refusals at least once a month. I had my suspicions from the beginning when I would get retest refusals, and those suspicions were confirmed when the last retest refusal time was stated as a time I was not even driving the vehicle. By the way, the state does not require a device to have a lockout system, my new company has no such thing as "lock outs", so what ACS is doing is super shady. Additionally, they only give you 5 days to reset the lockout. This supposed lockout happened on a Thursday night, so that counts as one day, Friday no one returns my phone call or answers the phone until noon, and of course they are closed weekends. I am forced to take a two hour break from work on Monday to drive up there and have the problem corrected at their convenience. And the secretary there is completely rude and unprofessional, she always has her son there watching annoying cartoons on an ipad, and she has such a snappy know it all attitude. Like when I try to make an appointment that's at least around my lunch hour, she goes "nope, can't do that, you have to come at this time", or the classic "you signed the paperwork!" She even snapped at me once when I showed up early to a calibration appointment saying "because you came early, I don't get to take a lunch!" I decided I was over paying for their bogus lockouts, and made an appointment with a new company that doesn't charge for lockouts. I would rather pay $20 for a scheduled calibration than have a major inconvenient "surprise" drive to Santa Ana and pay $40 to this guy. He begged me not to switch companies and even offered to wave my lockout fee this time if I stuck with him but I was so over it by this point, nothing but a rip off. Also, when I had the device uninstalled, he still charged me for the illegitimate lockout on top of the $80 uninstallation fee! And of course Alma the front desk lady just said "you signed the paperwork!" Such a scam! These people know that DUI offenders are forced by DMV to have an interlock, so they think they can just treat people however they want to because they have the upper hand. I've spent a total of $250 just to switch interlock companies so that I won't have to deal with the stress of unexpectedly missing work, paying for their bunk retest refusals, and sitting in their dirty, disgusting lobby while they reset their rigged retest refusal equipment. Very unhappy, please save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else! read more

Cory is awesome! He has been so helpful through out this whole process with me. I would highly recommend ACS for the services.

Found Corey on Yelp! And I couldn't be more thankful for his help! Seriously made the whole process as simple as it could be. Situation of a nightmare & Corey made it such an easy process. I really appreciate his service & glad he got me through it! read more

Corey and the staff at acs interlock have been nothing but helpful and positive in dealing with such a sensitive manner as a dui n the installation and upkeep of a interlock device. They're flexible with appointment times and always there to take your call or return calls promptly. They actually get u answers to your questions. I've also found the prices to be competitive or to actually beat the competition's prices. If it wasn't for the good people at acs interlock I still wouldn't be driving nor would the handful of people that I've personally recommended to this shop. Go Acs n get driving again. read more

Corey was able to set me up with an appointment within 1 day and installed the device within 30 minutes. He didn't charge me a dime for installation. Edit: it's been a month now and Corey has been extremely understanding and helpful with my whole situation. I'd give 6 stars if I could! read more

Let me tell you why you should go here. Corey the owner is awesome. Alma the receptionist is awesome. They both are responsive when you need any information or booking any appointments. There's no corporate office you need to call to get dispatched to. Service is smooth sailing. You don't have to deal with a corporate setting like lifesaver. (I had to call their office in Ohio) to have them dispatch a local mechanic office in California, where I live (makes no geographical sense). Corey has a private number you are able to call in case of an emergency (not during business hours). So you don't have to freak out. There are no hidden fees unlike other companies. Other places will charge you every time you go in to do your calibration (that's every 60 days). This place doesn't charge that. Or they will charge you a lower or no install fee, but will make up for it in the monthly bill, calibration or removal fee. Time is valuable, and if you are reading this.. Obviously you've wasted enough time being into the system with the school ten classes. You won't regret using ACS. They're responsive and will make your time easy. No hidden fees. You'll pay for install and dismantle and your monthly charges. Upon arriving, only thing you'll be paying is install. You'll get your bill and pay the monthly on that then you can pay for the removal when your due for one. Give them a call! Other places devices make you hum and blow. The devices used here are simple blows. read more

I normally don't write yelp reviews as most businesses you kind of know what you are walking into thru being familiar or word of mouth or...yelp. When I was required to get an interlock on my car I had no clue about them nor knew anyone at the time that had one and was facing tons of court fees so like most I chose the best price. Sometimes the "you get what you pay for" saying rings true but with ACS I can safely say that is not the case. The owner Corey...can't say enough about this guy. First of all interlocks are his thing, not a side job, not some nationwide chain trying to get some extra coin on this area, he services interlock's and that's it. The devices he uses just require you to blow for about 5 seconds and that's it. A couple of the other devices I've seen seem like a real pain in the requirements and the amount of times you have to test, his interlocks require a starting test, one random retest within 30 minutes and then every 30 minutes after that if your on a long drive. I've heard of other devices wanting tests every 10 to 15 minutes and since a lot of us are not drinking and driving after getting busted it's more of a nuisance than a safety precaution. Corey also try's to install the devices in the most discrete area possible, none of us are waving our interlocks around and showing them off. An interlock can be very embarrassing, the interlock's Corey installed on my 2 vehicles were nicely stored away where I could test discreetly and also easily tuck away when I went into work or was showing people the interior of my classic car I had the device on Corey is very flexible on the appointments, there were times I could tell talking to him the time that was good for me was probably not nessecarily the best for him and he told me to come in on the time I wanted anyways. Also it is very easy when you take your car to a car wash or a mechanic they are uneducated on interlock's and will lockout your device...Corey understands this and will usually offer a price break since it was not your error (the reset charge is a requirement from the company he works for not nessecarily him) When I finally got my devices removed I jokingly told Corey "hope I don't see you again" because I don't plan on getting in trouble again but honestly the service Corey provided me over the years will be missed, the device not so much Thanks Corey! read more

Just finished up with my term having to use the ignition interlock. I'm so grateful I came to ACS Interlock. They were always very courteous and the device worked great. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone whoever needs an ignition interlock. read more

Have known Corey for years. With the change in the law 1/1/19 if you need interlock on your vehicle for 6 months, give Corey a call. Straight forward, quick process, and reasonable fees for installation and monthly service fee. Located on Lyon off of McFadden & the 55 in Santa Ana. read more

Acs Interlock is the best interlock ever. It's so easy to use and Corey was so good at explaining everything to me. He even gives you his personal cell phone number if you have any problems when the shop is closed. The install and monthly payments are very reasonable and he works with you on everything. I would highly recommend this place for your interlock read more

I highly recommend ACS interlock. I was with Blow and Drive before switching to ACS interlock. What a difference. Do NOT waste your time looking for another company. ACS is the best. So is the device. Turn the ignition on and it's ready for your breath sample within 5 seconds. The device with blow and drive took about 45 seconds for it boot up. Again take my word, my experience with ACS is definitely 5 stars. Don't waste your time with another company. read more

I was not aware that CA how requires all first timers to install an interlock device. Most of the places I called seemed to be logics people but Cory at ACS was extremely helpful and guided me through the next steps. He also seemed pretty confident installing the device after I was told by other companies that my car isn't the easiest to hook up for the device. I required to have the device for 6 months and Cory helped me out whenever I had a question or worse got a refusal. The first one totally my fault but the second I got my car serviced at the dealer. Not that I wish this process upon anyone but if you happen to get yourself into it, check out ACS first. They are small, friendly and will take care of your car and help you through the process. read more

Very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Tech support was good and it's nice to be able to call and talk to an actual person even on the weekends. Cory was great and the install and calibrations were quick and easy. read more

I would like to start with, I have 3 DUI's. So I'd (unfortunately) consider myself quite a "pro" in this department. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH ANY OTHER COMPANIES!!! He's been in business for so many years for a reason. BEST IN OC! Can't beat the prices for sure. I cannot express enough how truly awesome ACS & Corey are! He is exponentially knowledgeable, and TRULY goes above and beyond to ensure all your needs are taken care of promptly and correctly! I had some crazy scheduling for a couple of my appointments and he ALWAYS ensured he got me taken care of ASAP. I have had other devices installed, and the one's at ACS are without a doubt, MUCH easier to handle. NO HUMMING! And there is a silent button (once it goes off for random rolling tests) for those awkward times!!! - Corey, I hope we never meet again, ;) but SURE AS SHIT I will be sending anyone and everyone in this shitty predicament your way! 100% Can't thank you enough! read more

Equipment worked fine. Corey has mood swings. Sometimes he is cool and sometimes he is a smart ass. Always acts like he is super busy. Would rather deal with someone else. It is easy to get in here and the price is good. Just know what to expect. I felt like punching him in the mouth but had enough legal trouble at the time. read more

Fast, easy and affordable installation for the device. Great flexible hours to fix any needs and awesome customer service. Definitely glad I came here for my ignition interlock device read more

Although getting an interlock device installed in my car is the last thing I want to be doing, going through acs interlock has been the easiest way to do it. I researched several different interlock companies and acs was the best fit. Corey is super nice and accommodating to his clients and makes sure they are set for success. He is always available to pick up the phone anytime I have questions and he has worked with me several times to make sure I was happy and satisfied. He has no hidden fees which I found most other companies who claim to be cheaper have. What you are quoted is what you are charged and that was very reassuring. read more

If you are in need of an interlock device, I strongly recommend Corey at ACS Interlock! I was dreading having the device, but Corey made me feel at ease. He not only answered all of my questions during the time of installing, but was available at all times for any troubleshooting. I did not encounter any trouble, but felt comfortable knowing he was a call away. Overall, great customer service! read more

If you are in a situation where you need a interlock device I highly recommend you to go to Corey at ACS. I drove an hour away to see him. I was recommend by a friend who was also very pleased by Corey. Great customer service, great at returning calls, very very helpful and knows what he is doing. Kind man and hard worker. read more

I found ACS interlock through yelp and saw all the good reviews, called them up and spoke with Corey. We agreed to a great price and was told to come in for the installation. When I got there I was greated by Corey and we went through all the paperwork and fees again thoroughly. We chatted for a bit and he went to work on my truck. 20 minutes quickly went by when Corey came back in saying he was finished. We went outside to my truck where he again explained everything to me and showed me exactly how the interlock device functions. Overall this was a great experience and Corey is a good guy willing to work with you. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an interlock for their car. read more

Corey really knows what he is doing the very professional Direct and will answer any questions you have on the device he was on time and installed of device in under an hour. Going through this process is not easy and I didn't know where to start in finding out how to get my license back first I was thinking of going to the DMV but then I decided to Yelp interlock devices and he had the most reviews the process was painless and he was able to access my records to see if I was able to get my license back or not and within 15 minutes he said I would be able to get my license back I made an appointment the next day I've got the paperwork I was able to get my license back thank you Corey you made this so painless for me read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! For anyone who needs to get an interlock device installed for DMV or for Court Purposes this is the place!! The whole process from beginning to end was extremely easy. Prior to me coming to ACS I was looking around a lot due to how many bad stories I had run across on yelp from other companies.. I was very worried on the experiences people were talking about. I am so so THANKFUL I ran across ACS yelp page. You truly feel very well taken cared of here. AND you can't beat the price your paying for with ACS! I drove almost 1hour 30 minutes just to have ACS handle my interlock device installment/calibration/and removal. Trust me you are in very good hands when choosing to come to this business. You will be in and out in no time. You definitely do not have to worry about being locked out of your car with ACS and there is no HIDDEN fees either! What your told you will be paying from the time of signing paper work is what your going to be paying until you no longer need the interlock device ! To anyone who has been looking you found the right place !! Come here you won't regret it! read more

ACS Interlock is the place to go when in need of a breathalyzer! I called many places before running into this one and none were as helpful as Corey! Best thing of it all was that the price was better than the others as well! As a first timer I didn't know what this was about and Corey was very helpful and explained the steps I had to go through after getting it installed. He also gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him or text him with any questions I had about the device. He responds quick and is very friendly and professional. Definitely knows what's he's doing and goes the extra mile to be helpful. I never had a problem with the device that was installed in my truck and he has no problem to accommodate to scheduling the appointment and can also drive out to your house if needed! I am very satisfied with the service I got, I definitely recommend this place!!! read more
