Avoid at all costs. Charles is the owner, and sole…read moreproprietor of this shady establishment. I am sure that he will go "above and beyond" for you, as stated numerous times in my phone calls with him. After a week of assuring me that he had the interlock device, and day after day of excuses as to why he doesn't actually have any in stock, we finally made an appointment where he said "he/they" would be there. 10am arrives and we show up to get the device installed. CHARLES is no longer operating out of this location. So then we go to the other location as advised by the people in the shop next to his. Now at the new location, and the new people say he moved from there too. After several missed calls/texts/ and voicemails, Charles answers the phone hungover and drunk at 10:20am telling me that he just needs to shower and then he will be there. ARE YOU SERIOUS. ARE YOU MENTAL??? Who operates a business like this!? This should be all you need to know about how fun it is to deal with Charles and this "company". IF YOU SEE THE NUMBER 916-275-2292, or the name CHARLES, attached to any interlock service, just know that he's a total waste of time, and if the companies name is different than "California Ignition Interlock" it's because he constantly has to change locations and business names to avoid his awful reputation. Thanks for the huge waste of time!

After recalls to them in 20 minutes and getting three different answers, I started recording the phone calls. I have three final calibrations. The first one came up with a violation that I knew could not have happened but decided to suck it up and just wait out the time. It felt like it was more energy to fight it and just to deal with than the additional time and energy to argue. With my Second final calibration, it came back compliant. However, because my drivers license had expired, they had added 45 days from the date of which I got my due license. The state of Tennessee issued for 45 days which would have ended on January 27. Customer service told me it was 49 days which would have ended on January 30. Very convenience because that is when the next buy must be billing occurred. Once again, I felt like the three extra days wasn't worth the argument and it takes the complaints to department three days to respond assuming they do respond. My final straw occurred with the third final calibration after the 45 days, that compliance reviewed back with a violation that was two months for the original violation. Fortunately, my car was in the body shop in maintenance mode. I called and got the exact time of the violation. Thing called body shop, which provided The with the timeline of the bodywork and when they were completed with it, which happened to be 30 minutes after the alleged violation occurred. I asked for a review with the state which meant I had to send a form to the company. I called back to have them. Tell me the violation of heard six minutes after the completion of the work. The problem here was that the battery was dead when I picked up the car and I a lot of body shop 15 minutes after the second time they gave me. Fortunately, I was able to pull my call from my cell phone where I had called them twice to report the problem which was there was a power interruption due to the battery. And a sync error. The customer service rep tell me that my car was successfully started 30 minutes before the battery was replaced and argued that it stayed running for a given amount of time. I had a 3 1/2 hour drive from the body shop to my home. They are keeping being about the change of the time. I was able to contact Body shop to have them send an email to me about the issue with the car, not starting that day until the battery was replaced 30 minutes after they closed, which was an hour after the violation. If you want to really be able to document your issues log into your account from a laptop or iPad and do a live chat and then screenshot the conversation. After the phone call with customer service rep. That I recorded. Four hours later, I am engaged in a live test session and was told about the two errors and when I specifically asked about the violation of tampering with the device because the camera was obstructed, I was informed it was not a violation, and the view was not a instructed because the camera was upside down and after I started the car, I turned it right side up. I have documented all of this and sent it to the state of Tennessee. Additionally, if you go to Reddit you will see that a law firm in Knoxville is engaged in a lawsuit. The Better Business Bureau has them listed with an a rating under the company that owns Intoxalock which is Consumer Safety Technology LLc. I have reported down, asking them how they have an a rating given the mention reviews between here and Reddit. People are having the same complaints. I have heard nightmares from people in person about the problems when it comes to getting this device removed. Their intention is to prolong the length of time you have this device to continue collecting bimonthly payments. They are taking advantage of people, knowing that after several months that most people cannot prove or documents, the incorrect information. Take the phone to put them on speaker and I told you this conversation or engage in live chat and the conversation. Also anytime that you blow and it comes out with a reading other than zero take a picture of it. iPhones are awesome for date and. Timestamps. One other issue, which is the original violation they came off with stated a reading that is way higher than anytime I've blown. I also documented on this day that they changed the time of the violation and included the act of violation. My car was not started. I pointed out to them that I had pictures taken before and after the violation from two different locations proving that was started and I left. They came back with the car was started later. This is something I've also documented. There needs to be another class action suit against this company. I will be contacting the law firm that I found and calling one that is local to where I live. They need to be shut down.
