These idiots are the best at manipulating people, and overcharging and adding on stupid fake azz fees. Day1 told them - i dont do bi weekly, monthly only...they screwed me and did bi-weekly saying to change it later...that too was a lie. Also said DO NOT USE my debit information for ANYTHING EXCEPT TO START, then they start charging my debit for all sorts of stupid shit in a week. Week1-2 Wake up to 100$ taken out my account that i never gave permission to use, bouncing my bank and charging overdraw fees.\ So i call them, they took 100$ 8am and it still says i owe 30$ hmmm how?????? just another added fake fee.... Then they tell me i agreed to bi weekly, which I DID NOT, then say they cant do MONTHLY payments (even tho thats the NORMAL) Meanwhile these idiots cant just make a normal payment on a normal monthly basis cause it would be TOO easy for people to CATCH their OVERCHARGING. They send u a generic POS lease, and in it there are checkboxes to check bi weekly or monthly payments and shit BUT IT WONT LET YOU CHANGE IT TO MONTHLY, so they think they screwed you to singning it and locking in the BULLSHT. well I AINT SIGNED MY FKN LEASE AND WONT UNTILL ITS SETUP PROPERLY Its not really the employees fault, but the company is setup to make it ASS COMPLICATED AND ANNOYING AS POSSIBLE SO THEY CAN SLIP IN FEES AND SURCHARGES AND U JUST PAY IT RATHER THEN DEAL WITH THE HEADACHE! read more

Stay away from this company!! Very rude customer service. Device is so hard to operate and if you fail you will be charged!! No mechanic shops willing to repair or maintain your car. If you can inhale and exhale hard for 15 seconds straight without removing your mouth from the device go for it. You will be charged $100 for installation and removal, you will have to pay 30 dollars a month plus 20 calibration at the locations available each month. read more

scam. After getting there device removed, I had to change my debt card number to get them to quit charging me, Told I was going to get a free installation and didn't, Had to block there phone numbers and emails calling me messaging me to get them to leave me alone about how "I owe them money" and that not paying them is going to be "a violation of your states requirements", and customer service won't do anything,. Never again will I use them and I urge everyone to just deal with your license being suspended and not get this on your car. Youll regret it I promise read more

I wish there was an option to put ZERO stars!!! THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY EVER!!!! They scam you out of hundreds of dollars. The device will fail you on anything, water, perfume/cologne, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Each time you get a false fail, you are forced to pay the $75 lockout fee each time. This device has been hell for me and this company is awful. They aren't helpful and it truly just feels like they're stealing money. DO NOT GET INTOXALOCK!!!!!!! read more

Absolute the worst company I've ever dealt with. They call you over and over trying to get to instal the device. The sales reps talk all nice and say everything is going to be simple. But once's it's installed the hell with you if you need help. all customer service is transferred overseas to a call center and they're of no help whatsoever. Also I had the device uninstalled over a month ago and they tried to sneak in a charge, my guess is they probably get away with it sometimes so keep an eye on your account they're stealing for sure. When I call and asked them about the charge, once again someone who barely speaks English. And they gave me the run around. I had to change my account number just to be sure they wouldn't try to steal more money. DONT DEAL WITH THEM. read more

When you have the unit taken out of your car, make sure you cancel the 'roadside assistance' also, or else they'll charge $5.50 per month against your bank account. I had to call multiple times and email them several times to make sure they stop after continuous charges months after it was removed. Zero exclamation marks ! (wouldn't use a star) Bad service read more

This is the best bait and switch raping I've ever received. What a disgrace this piece of shit company is. Have to remember to check my credit card bill so these crooks don't keep charging me. Getting it out was the best thing in months. read more

I wish I would have read the reviews before I put this device in my car. If it accidentally unplugs because you have to keep removing from the cold weather, they charge you twice amounting to an extra $150. You're battery will die at some point if you don't properly keep your car running in winter. After removal, they still charge you for "roadside assistance??". In what world do you cancel a service, have it removed, and they still keep your credit card on file to charge you for something you no longer have. As if DUIs are not a headache on their own, paying attorneys and other legal fees... This company knows how to kick you when you're down. read more

10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND! Absolutely horrible company. Had constant issues. Fist issue was a faulty device that would not accept breath sample. Threw me into lockout and threw a flag with the state so my license was taken again for months until the issue was resolved. Has a constant draw so if ur not driving regularly it will kill ur battery which is considered possible tampering with the device so it throws another flag. If u live in a state where it is cold the device can freeze up. Customer support is useless. They are outsourced so they barely speak English. When I needed help with paperwork they had no idea what I needed bc they don't know how the state system works. And u are quoted a reasonable price but once installed ur upcharged for everything! Worst company ever. I have reported them to the state to have them taken off the list of recommended retailers. Doubt it will help but if this review helps someone avoid the stress then I'll be happy. read more

How I wish I had never chosen this company, which I'm reporting to the BBB. Do NOT go with them even though they are "conveniently located" - there are lots of them because they've gotten so rich scamming people. Customer Serví is terrible, if you can even reach someone, and the device is designed to die without constant power from your car battery, so the 2 times I've gone away on vacation it's died, had to get AAA to jump start car (brand new battery, as I mentioned) and then you pay $75 plus local garage $30 or else go into a "lockout." Every time I ask how a person can go on vacation they say "have someone else start it for you periodically." WHAT?? I need to hire a car sitter?? I am thinking to break my lease (yep, another way they scam you, maybe all do) and sucking up the fee then change companies. read more

I have been requesting my $165 refund since February. Prior to yesterday I made two phone calls, after that I was unable to get through on the phone line I have sent two or three chat messages 4 emails and a text. Yesterday I finally got through on the phone lines. I was assured my refund would be processed that day and I would receive a confirmation email. The only email I received was a cancellation of my roadside which is what I got from every request by email. I called again today and now it's going to be up to 72 hours for that confirmation email for the refund even be processed this company is nothing but a bunch of thieves and I don't understand how the states that regulate this continue to allow this behavior I will be reporting them to my state and encouraged anyone else to do so. read more

I had the worst experience with this company. Customer service is non-existent unless they are taking your money. They charged me for almost two weeks while i was still waiting for the paperwork to get my license. They never returned calls or emails until money was involved. I would not use this company please shop around. Ask for recommendations. Don't rush because these guys are convenient. read more

horrible company. horrible product. no one likes to be required to have one but that's besides the point. from customer service to false positives, it's a money pit. even getting the device removed was a nightmare and I was ultimately blamed for their "automated" system not scheduling my appointment and not following up. then they won't send the work order directly to you, so they take days to send it to the service center. pathetic excuse for a company read more

This place is a joke. Do NOT even think about using this company. The incompetence is beyond belief. They literally screwed up at every single stage of the process. They do not keep notes and you will be on hold for close to an hour every single time you have to keep calling them, which is over and over and over again, for the same thing, and each time you have to start from the very beginning with each flipping call to them. This company is so poorly managed and does not have enough employees or use any type of data base. This is the worst place I've ever given my business to and you can expect nothing but problems, plus they added an additional 6 weeks to my restriction time due to their incompetence with paperwork. They can't even handle the simple, basic steps of their own process. NIGHTMARE! read more

just a heads up to anyon/everyone one of the girls just called. unprofessional didn't say her name was very argumentative and hung up on me if anybody wants to deal with that good luck have a blessed day read more

DO NOT USE THEM!! TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!!! Customer Service is terrible. They will find any excuse to take your money and don't tell you all BS junk fees up front. It is impossible to reach a human through customer service. They can't deactivate the device for maintenance - you have to teach your mechanics to blow to maintenance your vehicle. As if having a blower isn't humiliating enought, the unit itself is huge and looks like a cable box remote from the late 1980's. They will not tell you upon installation to wait 2 mintues for the restart countdown, because even though you've stopped your car engine and parked, it will make you test again and if you aren't around - ooops! your bad $80 charge. The calibration and seconds you have to blow change from time to time. I've had to call them 2x to adjust - no one can possibly blow out for more than 60 seconds (they say its 4 seconds, its defintely not). DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I have 3 months left and I have kicked my self everyday I have to drive somewhere for going with this crap company. CASH GRAB read more

They are impossible. Try calling them. Be prepared to be on hold for an eternity. Which is horrible if your system has locked you out for a many number of reasons. In my experience, it is almost always their issue, not mine. I self-installed mine, not mandated, and somehow they can't figure out that fact. I wanted to have it uninstalled to get some body work done on my car (shops don't like using it during Covid), and they are telling me I have to get a letter from the state. I installed it myself! If I get another system to prevent myself from drinking and driving, it won't be this one. read more

I had very bad experience since the initial installation. I kept getting lock outs due to the device recording that I was not breathing into it while my car was parked in my driveway for the night. I finally had another service change the breathing device and it was still recording that I was missing to test. Furthermore, I was charged over $500 of calibration fees and lock out fees with no refund. I Finally had the device re-installed and no longer have lockouts, but supposedly I cannot prove that it was the device that was malfunction. Very bad customer service in all aspects. I am stuck with this device until July because if you change the service (Intoxalock) you have to start all over with your restricted licensure. read more

I work 7 days a week from daylight to dark I took off early today to get my interlock transferred into my new truck the app says customer service 24/7 that's a lie they are 9 to 5 and I have called 3 times and spent more time on hold than I did talking to a real person about whatever issue at the time. I have asked several times for new equipment because the first 2 months I was having to recalibrate every week at 20 bucks a shot and then charge me 75 bucks for a lockout fee when I wasn't even locked out ands they started my lease 2 weeks after I had the device installed and put my credit card on auto pay after I told them not too. Thank God I only have to put up with these lazy ass people for 1 more month in very dissatisfied read more

For those just signing up the issue is not with the device the issue is when your time is up and trying to get it removed. They will give you the run around. I have sent in all my information and then they come back and say they do not have it I need to send it in again. Call the number and they say they don't have it. I ask if I can send it direct so they can verify they get it no can't do that either. Any thing to keep it in as long as possible. read more

The worst experience I've ever had in my life... hands down. The BBB should take away their license. I've now had this device on 6 months longer than needed and I've called every week to get this resolved and get a different answer every time I'm on the phone with them. Needless to say it take 30-50 minutes on hold and then they drop you off the call so I spend 3 hours a week trying to get this dealt with. The F'n worst company in history read more

If your state offers alternatives to this company for your interlock punishment, PICK SOMEONE ELSE they are literally the worst in the business. Zero customer service and the prices are wild, they do nothing and get paid a hundred bucks per month between fees and calibrations read more

A complete nightmare company to work with...not a SINGLE Customer Service Rep is on the same page...wait times for phone service are ridiculous...I will never recommend. read more

This is one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with. First they tried not to honor the coupon I had and now every time i try to download a copy of the lease it says "PDF failed to load" I've had the lease emailed to me, tried to download it from the website on my computer, and tried to get it from the intoxalock app on my phone. There is a problem with the document on every device, and every application i try to open it on. I tried just uploading it to the DMV directly and it gave an error saying there was a problem with the document. Intoxalock will not accept that the problem is with their document and they keep saying the problem is mine. Theres no way I can request my interlock license now because of this horrible company. Trying to get support for this has been a nightmare. They just keep putting me back on hold over and over read more

HORRIBLE company, horrible customer service, they treat you as if you're a criminal and deserve every bit of their cruel and unusual punishment. The device ruined the ignition on our truck. And also be aware that when your sentence is up, it will take this company upwards of a month or more to get their paperwork in line to actually allow you to remove the device. I'm sure this is to insure they get upwards of $200 MORE from you because they delay enough to go thru 2 more billing cycles. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS! read more

I was getting ahead of my DMV requirements, DUI (SR-22) insurance, DUI class registration, Intoxalock, by getting it all done prior to going going to the DMV for my restricted license. Intoxalock received a notice from the Sacramento (Mandatory Action Unit) that I did not qualify, 10 days prior to installation. Even though Intoxalock knew this ahead of installation, they never let me know and went ahead and allowed me to install it. My first appointment with the DMV resulted in a denial of my "restricted license" as the certificate for the installation date wasn't "typed in" properly. The DMV said nothing at this time indicating I wasn't eligible for the device. I had also called several times to get through to the MAU without luck. After getting the installation certificate reissued (5 days later), I returned to the DMV only to find out everything was copacetic except that I did not qualify. I finally persisted long enough to confirm this with the MAU in Sacramento. I immediately contacted Intoxalock to cancel my subscription and had the device removed. When I contacted Customer Service for Intoxalock, I was told "you are responsible for knowing your DMV requirements regarding your DUI". Full Stop!! After several minutes of insisting Intoxalock KNEW ahead of time I didn't qualify, and, at minimum, had a MORAL obligation to inform me or the installer I didn't qualify for their device (I also requested a refund of the over $700 I had spent on the device), the customer service Rep said she "was the last word" and hung up on me. Not only that, they continued to charge me for the device, an additional an additional $45 fee they are still attempting to collect 6 weeks after that conversation and having the device removed. Every review I've read, and every story I've heard (in my DUI classes) involving Intoxalock are similar. There is no accountability or adequate customer service regarding ANY issue, administrative, performance, or customer service assistance, with Intoxalock that warrants anything but a vote of "NO CONFIDENCE", 2 thumbs down, or a ZERO STAR review. They operate as a monopoly without regard to the customer and pray on the anxiety , uncertainty, and lack of cohesive/consistent information available to the DUI customers who are just trying to comply and do the right thing to avoid further complications and problems with the gauntlet of requirements the State of California and DMV lay before them. This company is predatory and irresponsible and I will continue to review them as such, as there is no hope of getting any restitution for there irresponsible and shady operation. Bryce read more

I had a DUI in Wisconsin in 2010. The only moving violation I've ever had, besides an illegal u-turn. This year, 2024, I finally decided to start driving again after moving back from Minneapolis. I recently had this POS installed in April. Since then, I've spent an upwards of $1600 in extra charges because it malfunctions ALL THE TIME. I've gotten stranded so many times, one time over 2 hours away from home. Their customer service is beyond sub-par, and utterly and completely unhelpful, and uneducated on what they service. I'm a waitress, and qualified for the financial hardship pricing. I have not drank in several years, and would hope the average person knows you can't use mouthwash or anything containing alcohol. I had it towed and serviced yet again on 7/23/24, and it did it again the next day. When I called, they are trying to charge me another $83, and said, and I quote, "it must be the food you're eating". I reported them to the BBB, and I don't know what else to do. They are beyond awful, and it's a scam. I did my time years ago for this, paid a huge fine, and was afraid to drive for 14 years because of what I did. read more

Intoxalock = Incompetence. I contracted to have my ignition interlock installed through Intoxalock. I had it installed on Nov 7. Later that day I went to DMV to get my license. They refused the certificate from Intoxalock because of a technical error. I requested a replacement certificate on Nov. 8. It can not be faxed or emailed. Must be sent as hard copy with stamp. Was told it would arrive in about 7 days. Nov 16 I called intoxalock. They said that it went out on Nov. 9. Nov. 21 I called about the replacement certificate. I was told that the request for a replacement had not been processed and that it would go to the compliance department that day and would arrive in about 7 days. If it arrives in 7 days that it will be a total of 3 weeks that I have not had a license and been able to drive because of gross incompetence of Intoxalock. Locally installed at High Tech Car Audio in El Cerrito and they were a pleasure to deal with. read more

Started when I had my device installed in January into a new car. The technician started the job and refused to finish installation because it was too complicated had to have my car tower (at my expense) to another tech service center. Finally was installed but was installed wrong, went through months of lock outs and paying thousands of dollars until I received 2 lock outs in one month and rmv was going to take my license for 10 years for a faulty device. Finally found a service tech who knew what they were doing and they found device was installed wrong. Intoxalock still did not take responsibility, basically told the tech he was lying and they were not reimbursing any of my thousands of dollars of unwarranted lock out fees. Rmv hearing decided the device was faulty and I had done my due diligence in trying to fix the situation so did not take my license but i had to hire a lawyer to supoena my records because intoxlock wouldnt give me my personal logs without a supoena which cost me 1500 dollars. 4 days from my 2 year completion my of 2 years my lease expired so I renewed and went to get calibrated but the service center said I had an expired lease and they could not calibrate resulting in a violation and a 6 month extension. Rmv said they would not extend if intoxalock would write a letter saying that they did not receive the lease sign but did send a conformation email so it was an issue on their end so I am stuck with a 6 month violation unless I appeal with the board of appeal and spend another 1500 on lawyer. Have a ton of documents to support all of my claims. Please reach out with any questions about this company I will send you all documents. read more

See all

They are absolutely the worst company to work with. I would recommend losing your license for 10 years rather than dealing with them for 4 months. They add false charges. The system shuts down and they charge you to fix their errors. Everything about it is a scam. Take your chances if you would like. read more

A family member had the misfortune of needing to use this company. Over the 2 yrs that our debit card was on file with the company, we were charge with at least 10 lock out fee's of $75/each. Calling the company to discuss these fee's was a waste because they were certain that they would never reverse a charge, no matter what the reason. The car that had the interlock device was not used very often and even if it was, there was always a problem. A lock out or some code on the device that required a very long call to the company for help. We had to replace the starter on the vehicle and got charged a lock out fee because the battery died while at the service center. We replaced the battery a few months ago, due to the constant draining of the battery from the device. I could go on and on with all the difficulties we have had. Customer Service is useless and uncaring. It was finally time to have the device removed. Called intoxilock to schedule the removal and in trying to get the car to the shop for the removal, the battery was again DEAD which means a lock out. I called Customer Service, who unlocked the vehicle but the new battery was too drained. We had it towed to the removal appointment because we were desperate to get it out of the car. Once the intoxilock was removed and the battery charged, we havent had a problem with the car. Today, I check my debit account and see that Intoxilock charged us another $75 fee. I immediately called them and was told that there is nothing they could do and the lock out fee is part of the contract and we cannot have that money back. Pls note that when I called to schedule to removal, Intoxilock charged us $66 stating it was the removal fee, not to mention the $155 fee at the auto center to pay the mechanic to remove the device. So to get another $75 charge today blew my mind. I intend to write a letter to the State of NH to let them know that the company they contract with is taking advantage of their customers. I will also be writing reviews anywhere I can to get the word out about this horrible company. read more

If I could give negative stars I would! Anyone want to start a class action lawsuit with me? I lent a friend my car, he had the court order for intoxalock installation. It was installed without my consent, he was on file as the registered owner, but apparently that doesn't violate any laws in Texas. (blows my mind) However, he went to jail again, and called intoxalock to inform them that I was the SOLE owner of this car and was attemping to retrieve it, my ownership was ignored. I have been fighting with intoxalock for 6 months to remove the device from MY car, that I have government documentation of ownership on! I have nothing to do with the court order for the device! I have been lied to, spent hours on the phone, paid fees I didn't owe so my car didn't get locked out by this company, and have been disrespectfilly by management when voicing my rights. They ignored legal documentation of ownership for 6 months. They are a joke. read more

1} they lied, i am moving to Hawaii Big Island and they said that they had a location there so i went with them, however I called the shop and said they no longer do, what a waste of money for instal and deinstall. 2) speaking the deinstall I went to go there and the device would not so I could not drive there, so shop said get a tow truck, waste of more money. 3} I feel they are expensive. 4) If need to talk to some one you are in a automated system from hell, you need to come up with a way to actually talk to someone. read more

this is by far the worst company ive ever dealt with. they are horrible people who literally just scam you for your money. they will add charges on your account without telling you first. there device doesnt work for sh**, twice it has given me a lockout. i paid the first one although i didnt have a sip of alcohol. the second time though i refuse to pay and now they are telling me they cant do anything for me. i had just woken up on my way home from a friends to get ready for work. blew just fine to start the car on my way home it asked me to blow again. somehow blew a 5.4. i had nothing to drink for it to go off and be a 5.4, no perfume, absolutely nothing. two mins go by i blow again. its once again a 0. now they are trying to get me to pay $90 for nothing. i refuse to pay and if they try and make me i will sue this company. this is not okay. this company is a scam. they need to update their devices for sure and fire all employees who dont have any customer service skills. before using intoxalock please search for other companies that are cheaper and have people who want to help the customers not steal there money. read more

They said it's free installation, not only is it not free at all, the installers gave absolutely no instruction on how to use this complicated thing. It took a while to figure out how to use it right, it's dangerous in traffic, and very bad for asthmatics as it makes you blow and suck repeatedly and hard for about 10 seconds. They also charge extra fees and when their equipment malfunctions they charge you to fix it. And then when I was finally completely fed up with it and decided to go with a different company, because of the ease I've been told about from others, they charged about $250 to disconnect it! read more

Please be very aware of how greedy this company is. I have my device removed and paid my final payment...they are still charging me for road side assistance every 2 weeks. When I paid my last payment January 19th it said "once your device is removed and your balance is paid your account will close." I read that whole faq page and never came across anything that said I had to personally reach out to admin by email to cancel roadside assistance charges. My account is still open, there is no way to remove it and the customer service rep said there's nothing she can do. I can't imagine how many people have been paying reoccurring payments without their knowledge because they assumed that a company did what they stated they would do. Customer service is absolutely no help at all, and that's not regarding this situation, that's regarding EVERY call I've made. Several have given me Misinformation and others just didn't listen. Between sending me to an "approved auto shop" that harassed me and treated me like shit and said gross perverted things to me and now finding out there's all these extra hidden steps I URGE you to go with a different company if you need a device in your car. read more

This company sucks as far as ignition interlock devices go. There is no bypass code for the mechanic to work on your car, they are very hard to get in contact with and sometimes takes close to an hour. I would not recommend this company. They are not cheap, they are about $100 per month plus $35 something dollars every few months for calibration. The device has drained my car battery twice in 6 months. read more

First of all they sent me to an auto service center an hour away from my house to get installed, come to find out theres a better one just 15 minutes away from me. Second, they didnt send out my DMV paperwork so I hade to wait a week for it to be delivered. Third! the place they sent me to decided to close busi for 2 weeks the day after they installed without any notice. so now I have this bullshit installed, I'm making payments and I can't even get my license back. And eveytime I call and try to explain to someone they don't do a damn thing except tell me it's getting delivered. This is a legitimate scam read more

These guys are a scam. Device has been out of my car for a month and my lease is up. Still charging my account and I haven't received paperwork for DMV to clear my license read more

horrible company. device damages vehicle and company creates revenue from faulty equipment. life safer and smart start are better choices.
