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

This company offers ZERO customer service. You can NOT reach anyone by phone! My device is broken. I've had 4 lock outs in 3 weeks. I had to have my car towed twice in one week, was late for work and now at risk of losing my job! No one at this company is available. There is NO customer service! Now my charges total $352.76 for 3 weeks! Total and complete rip off, predatory with no customer service. The online chat does not work. The level of stress and frustration is ridiculous. Do not use this company. 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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Biggest scam on earth. Do not use this company. I live in Massachusetts and in order to get a removal you cant have a violation for 6 months. All of a sudden 6 months before I'm supposed to get a removal I get phantom violations for bad startups but with .000 blows. Coincidence?? I think not. And plus don't even try to get someone who has any type of authorization on the phone they will hang up on you. They will do anything they can to get every penny out of your pocket read more

Absolute nightmare experience. Equipment is not up to speed. Customer service is useless and not helpful. Complete gotcha - money grab. False violations,, faulty equipment, highway robbery - you have to take their word for it every time they want to ding you for $85+$25 dollars a clip. It should be illegal- get the technology right before you charge hardworking people for b.s. infractions. Avoid these scoundrels, trust me. If you must use them hook the device up to a car you never drive. That is the only way to avoid these crooked predators. Absolute nightmare read more

I try never to leave a negative review, it hurts good businesses so much when people do that, but these people are terrible! We are already in a vulnerable stressed position, and their sales guys are extremely aggressive. Jordan at extension 207 called me 13 times in a 24 hour period. That is excessive and harassment. I confirmed there was NO installation fee bc they were charging slightly more than other companies. He lied to me. Directly. He said it was $47.50 twice a month and no other charges. I was then informed at the shop I took my car to that there was an installation as well as a leasing fee. I literally only went with them bc of that info and so he would stop calling me and I could be done with it. I run 3 businesses, this is bad business. I'm just upset that a good hearted honest person didn't get whatever commission Jordan got. He should be ashamed of himself. I will make sure I tell every person possible not to use this company. read more

Violated for error codes COMM 54 and ERR 2 Stranded in a parking lot with error codes COMM 54, ERR 2 on 02/26/2023. Did trouble shooting over the phone with help desk. Eventual fix was disconnecting the negative on car battery and reconnecting. Was told I was ok and needed to do nothing.. No paperwork of incident would need to be submitted to state because no lockout occurred. Violated with tampering/circumventing and currently re-revoked as of 05/14/2023. Was not told those error codes would show up on report as tampering. Had I known I could have been proactive with the state of Michigan to report the incident. Was told by Intoxilock 2 weeks ago that their compliance department would reach out to the state of Michigan and report my innocence regarding the situation. Was told a letter was sent electronically to the state 2 weeks ago only to find out this week from a supervisor named "Shawn" on 05/23/2023 that "they don't do that" that there never was a letter sent to the state of Michigan proving my innocence nor will they be sending one even though all last week on recorded lines ( all their calls are supposedly recorded) I was told their compliance dept DID WRITE A LETTER ON MY BEHALF AND IT WAS TRANSMITTED TO THE STATE ELECTRONICALLY ON 05/16/2023. IT WAS ALL A LIE. I reached out to Intoxilock compliance and admin via two emails only to be met with zero reply or help. This company needs to be sued in the form of a class action lawsuit. I will be reporting this to the FTC and the BBB. I have been revoked/suspended since 05/14/2023 and I'm in danger of losing my job because I have no way to get there for something that was 100% not my fault. Why wouldn't they tell me on the phone the day of the incident ( 02/26/2023) those error codes would show up as tampering. They must know this right? Was told I was good to go and nothing needed to be done or submitted to the state of Michigan. This company is the definition of evil, malevolent, and dishonest. If a mistake is made on there end and you get reported for a violation; they will not own up to their mistake and help you correct the situation. They will provide you no documentation on trouble shooting incidents and they will lie and tell you letters were sent to the state by their compliance dept just to get you off the phone. This company made me a victim. It's now all up to me and my attorney to get this situation corrected and of course that process moves very slowly and I'll end up being revoked/suspended for 3 months for something that wasn't even my fault. Horrible company with horrible people employed there. I hope and pray they get shut down soon and sued for causing harm to innocent people. I will join any class action lawsuit initiated guaranteed! read more

I am aware, that I messed up first and foremost by getting into trouble by driving under the influence in the first place. Nothing good can come from this. For the sake of this review however I'd rather discuss the many downsides of this company of scammers. One of those unfortunate events you'll find yourself coming across is the interlock system installed in your vehicle. When this occurs... DO NOT use Intoxalock for your service provider. I can not stress enough baffled I am as to how this company of liars and theives can operate a business equivalent to calling a bank robber a good branch of banking service. I'd rate them in the negative numbers if I could! Let's get started: Upon agreeing with the terms of service associated with intoxalock, you will be given a brick sized device that you have to pay for to get installed as well as recalibrated in what they tell you is monthly. Instead of monthly the screen on the device will read violation and give you a lockdown every two weeks. This is of course when you didn't violate anything other than having a faulty device. If you do not drive your vehicle to place that installed the device to have the lockdown warning removed, your vehicle WILL NOT START! They give you an app which they'll tell you to install in order to "avoid lockouts" which is completely useless but you can call them right? After waiting on the phone, for an hour on a good day if you choose to call them and from what I've read from other reviews and YouTube complaints, additional fees added to your account by just calling. So, here's where the scam starts: The first calls will have you on the phone with a clear spoken person. They'll tell you they will look into the problem and then "beat around the bush" leaving you no choice but to pay for an extra calibration every month. The lockout fee set was at 75 dollars which they doubled and tripled costing around 225 everytime. You remember me telling you how it cost money to have the device simply in your car? Expect that to be added two and three times added to your credit card bill as well. If you have this device in your car for a year, you could be spending close to 3000 dollars in additional fees. "Run wire" is a reading that comes up often on the handheld device. If you ask your service station about this, they'll tell you Intoxalock is in the wrong, if you ask Intoxalock, the service station is the one who is incorrect. The most likely answer is that they're both in on the scam because you'll be given an additional fee at the service station anyway. If you are confused yet by the amount of money you have already spent, you shouldn't be as you are reading this correctly. Anyway, back to the phone calls. I forgot to mention the lack of communication they will have with the court system. So if you are on probation, need to contact or look at your status provided by the DMV, DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as this company fails to provide this information to them! After they overcharge you constantly, then the service provider bills you too. Once they have you on the additional payments, expect the caller on the other line (English is my first language) to be a caller from outside of the United States. Other reviews I've read on people who have Spanish as their first language have similar complaints. In addition you will again be put on a "wild goose chase" in order to provide information they pretend to care about, only to take more of your money. One of the times I called, a guy on the other line was playing with his dog, borderline, ignoring what I was saying. Additional complaints that are frequently addressed that I myself didn't encounter but am in way surprised of include: 1. The device draining the battery of the vehicle 2. The newer cars unable to use the ignition because of the device. I was however told, I needed a new starter in my car when the frequent problem was either the wire, the device or a combination of both. 3. Falsifying car breakdowns. It should be noted however, that you must call your interlock service provider in case of breakdown and vehicle maintenance. It would also be nice if that information was given to you. 4. False samples (this one I see as a bit more understandable (mouthwash, certain foods etc.) But a false sample by a defective device seems to be moreso the common complaint. To end this long review not only should Intoxalock receive a lawsuit against them for the scam that they are, it should be reported to the Better Business Bureau. For quality of service, just take a look at their ratings. read more

Sooo, in this latest episode of "how can intoxalock make your day worse!" I shut my car off and went into a store to pick up a few things. Never once heard the device make a noise. Was in the store for a half hour and came back out to find that my device was in a lockout. I call the company, they say I'm in a lockout due to not blowing for the retest. Funny, my vehicle was turned off and I was inside the store when they say the retest went off. Even have pics from inside the store at the same time it was supposedly going off about a retest. I call the company, they say I had to have left my car running when it went off for a retest. Guess they don't realize that gas is too expensive right now to leave the car running. Now, I have had that device for over 2.5 years now and have never had a lockout for failing to retest or having alcohol in my system, I think I know how it works. Now I'm all the sudden being told that I have to wait for 2-3 minutes after shutting off my vehicle. I have never once been told that in the entire time I have had this garbage in my vehicle. Oh, I called a day later and the next agent I spoke with said that she was going to do an investigation and get back to me within 24 hours. That was Monday, 2 days ago. Btw, I have a camera in my vehicle and the lady told me that she could check the video to see if I had shut off and exited the vehicle before the restest went off. Plus, looking at the bill, it's not a $75 fee, it's an $80 fee. Think I'm gonna have to my lawyer in on this one. Intoxalock, ya'll have gotten enough of my damn money and if there was another company within 50 miles, I would drop your sorry company. Thank God I should only have a couple of months left with this crap! read more

. Overall this experience with Intoxalock has been AWFUL! -10/10 I DO NOT recommend this company. It's extremely difficult to get a hold of an actual person. They want you to use the app they provide WHICH doesn't even allow you to request a work order for calibrations through it. You have to go to the actual site and request them. I live an hour away from where I work so to have my vehicle good to go is an NEED. Friday my box just decided to crap the bed & need to be replaced. Intoxalock said bc it wasn't my fault they'd pay for the tow to the shop & back to wherever I needed it. I had to call their roadside assistance & roadside proceeded to tell me it only covers 15 miles so I had to pay the extra 17 miles each way. They tow it to the service center which by the time it got there they were closed & didn't open again till Monday. I call Intoxalock back telling them this & they continue to tell me it will be done Saturday even though the SERVICE CENTER ISNT OPEN TILL MONDAY. So I call Saturday just to check & NO ONE IS THERE, shocker. Monday I call the garage (meanwhile again I live an hour away from work & work Friday - Wednesday) they never received the part & don't have backups. So here I am Tuesday still waiting on a new box & customer service won't transfer me to a supervisor when I've asked SEVERAL times. After being on hold for 36 minutes waiting for a supervisor to talk to because I've been crashing on coworkers couches or UBERING an hour and back to work. THIS IS OUT OF HAND to say the least. They refuse to give me ANY paperwork on this situation showing what is going on so I can provide it to the courts. Save yourself more trouble & DO NOT use this company read more

They just charged me when I did not owe them any money. They just locked out my car for the third time claiming that I did not blow in time. The device says you have 4 minutes to blow and every 30 seconds it's beeping and saying that I did not blow in time. I was supposed to get it out March of 2020 and here we are February 2021. They called me and asked me if my car was my daily driver I answered yes and they said my machine is broke and they will fix it for free. Mean while they claim during the time it was broken I blew a .04 and they locked out my car. They just charged me $144.00 after I just paid them 630.00. I go to my car this morning to take my son to the dentist my car is locked out again. I call to ask why and they say I did not blow during a re-test. That's absolutely not true as I am extremely cautious sine the whole "machine is broken" incident and really really tired of them manipulating my machine. There is no way i missed a re-take the machine screams at me every time I don't blow hard enough and scream louder when If I miss a blow. This is complete insanity and beyond absurd. Now I have to pay for another tow truck to come out and take my car to get re-calibrated for the third time and pay them again on my dime. This is insanity and I need to find someone to help me because customer service is so rude and refuses to listen to the customer. At this point I think I may need a lawyer idk what else to do. They are going to keep locking my car out claiming I did something wrong and I have zero proof so I cannot help my self. This is wrong. read more

If you like being financially raped then threatened with jail, Intoxilock is for you. The company needs to be shut down for fraud with a class action lawsuit and it is run by a bunch of crooks. The handheld is absolute garbage and goes off every 5 to 8 minutes screaming at you for another sample. It will shut down your engine without warning, with the alarm going off without a violation...it's really dangerous. When you call, they send you to Mumbai to a group of call center who are all con artists who don't speak English. I have had to buy a new battery, pay for false lockouts, and for service when it goes on the fritz through no fault of my own. They take no responsibility for their faulty product that is just as dangerous as drinking or texting while driving. They know damn well that they are the absolute worst company on earth and are proud of it. I have seriously have had thought of suicide so many times since this thing was installed. If you try and talk to someone in the courts about the criminal extortion they rely on for their shareholders] you are laughed at. I sincerely hope that the inventor, the shareholders, their employees all get stomach cancer because the world would be a better place without them in it. read more

There customer service is terrible. They just hang up on You. There equipment is old and runs your car. The tops falls off the machine and rolls under seats in the middle of machine going off. Truly extremely unsafe i Have almost got into so many accidents. They automatically charge you a 5.95 monthly protection plan fee. I have never signed anything to do with this. They refuse to refund me or take it off my plan. Complete crooks and the states should not allow how crooked they are. I had a Intoxalock representative talking to a DMV State person asking for something they needed and they were talking to them after the DMV State person and waited to get throw to a person took 30 mins and they were talking to him and I and since they didn't understand the sheet he was asking for they decided to hang up on them. They always hang up they don't understand English. The first person that sells you on this Intoxalock is from the US. After that good luck. I am uninstalling this device and going with another compan. DO NOT USE THIS fraudulent Company truly are Crooks. The states Minnesota and Wisconsin will here about this. Can't believe they even allow them. They are just taking advantage of the people using the equipment read more

I did my time. (5months), in regards to the device, the only complaint I have was draining my battery a couple of unexplained random times. Other than that, yes it was an inconvenience, but you get used of it. I drank and drove, and accept this "inconvenience" as It's better than killing someone. But with intoxalock, I feel extorted and now a hostage! First had to pay an extra month because they started billing me the day I gave them my information to get started, and yet to even have the device installed as my old car wasn't ready yet. Now I can't get a response on app or a live person, as I'm trying to get my device removed since my court order time has been up since a month ago. Nobody live is available except for the salesperson when you first sign up. The app is helpful, especially for taking your payment and scaring you with random warning signs now and then, reminding you a collaboration is due. But I have clicked on "DEVICES REMOVAL" for 5 weeks now and NOBODY has responded like their message says it will. The only notification I receive is my lease is about to expire again. I'm not paying or signing another lease until God or a lawyer appears and helps me get out of this kidnapping. read more

Horrible. Has a "rolling Lockout" was doing some monthly maitainance on my car. Checking fluids battery, etc... missed the time frame while checking the transmission fluid (car has to be running) was frantically blowing in the device would not take the "blow" time ran out and the lockout occurred. the device immediatly reset and within seconds i blew in it again and passed the test. tried to get them to reset without the fee...would not refund my $75. said i had already been given my " grace" reset (one that would be free), this one was due to my battery going dead....older vehicle (2007, no automatic turn off light device, left the lights on). I surely hope these people never experience any car trouble (battery dead), checking fluids etc.. and have to pay $75 bucks.....whatever happened to common courtesy (empathy) to people when they have the ability to check the camera and see you trying to "blow" (with the exact time to the second) then can see you blowing in it seconds later (on the camera) with the time(just seconds later with a pass. $$$$$$$$$$$ all bout the MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$ these people are NOT HUMAN!!!!!! read more

"Nightmare Experience with Intoxalock: Overpriced and Unhelpful" I can't express how disappointed I am with Intoxalock's services. The exorbitant prices alone would make anyone reconsider, but the real horror lies in the abysmal customer service. Dealing with their automated answering service is a labyrinth, forcing customers to play a guessing game just to talk to someone. And when you finally do, they apologize profusely but offer no solutions. The random lockouts are infuriating, triggered by minor issues like a slightly moved camera. It's absurd that such trivial matters result in being stranded. What's worse is that their team, despite understanding the frustration, refuses to take any meaningful action. Requests for refunds or transfers to supervisors are met with a firm "no," leaving customers feeling trapped in a service that cares more about extracting money than providing a reliable and reasonable experience. Save yourself the headache and steer clear of Intoxalock. read more

Do NOT use these crooks! Owned and/or operated by lawyers who specialize in breaking up American companies for foreign profit! The former president, now an "outside consultant" still has valid ties to Chinese interests! Avoid these parasites at all costs. They have absolutely no values, morals, or ethics. They take money from accounts they have been expressly forbidden to touch and now my son can't use his bank account for fear they will steal his pay!!! They do not respond to emails. Not one email has ever been responded to and I searched for any method to contact them. I tried calling. I was threatened!!! They do NOT want to talk to you unless it is to get more of your cash. Most insane way of doing business but it is lawyers so...there's no telling how badly you'll get ripped off!!! Intoxalock...no freaking good! If I could give negative stars, it'd be at least minus a hundred on a scale of one to ten!!!!! read more

Again , absolute terrible experience, hand held device has an issue, told them for few days , 5 out of the 6 people I spoke to were a complete waist if time, a 6 year old would know better, one hung up on me, told me it could be 5 days before i can get an inspection, I run a company that does 24/7 service, i already lost a full day, they going to pay me what I lost? They charged me for a lock out that had nothing to do with me! This company does not care about their customers, I know 3 other people with this device, anytime Intoxalock is mentioned, they go nuts, they have the same bad experience. Again im stranded outside a customer's house because this company' incompetence, no regard for customer's and they don't care. I have already spoken to a lawyer about this and will proceed with it. Again iv to get a tow , Disaster. read more

I sincerely wish I would have read these reviews before allowing them to install an IID in my mother's vehicle. The original service center who installed it totally botched the job. Shotty wiring held together loosely by tape. The faulty wiring killed the battery in a brand new vehicle. We're lucky it didn't start the car on fire. We had to pay $400 to the mechanics to fix the wiring. A new IID can't even be installed without a complete rewiring...that's how bad the installers messed it up. As everyone else says, it's a pain in the @$$ to get ahold of their customer service. Multiple calls lasting 45+ minutes. They just bounce you around until they eventually hang up. So frustrating! They will not reimburse for the damage caused during installation. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE!! read more

Called during a lockout and an employee named BRITTANY tried to tell me she couldn't waive my lockout fee, but when I called back and spoke with a different employee they were able to do it immediately. Brittany, tell me, how does that make sense? I thought you couldn't do that without special approval? So you are lying to your customers now and that's a direct image on intoxalock. Doesn't look good. Should probably look into Brittany and make sure she's doing what she's supposed to when she's clocked in at work. Intoxalock is an absolute mess and it starts with employees like Brittany being lazy and not doing the job that she's paid to do with the training she was given. Until you make changes from the ground up this company will continue to be known as a headache. read more

Wrote a lengthy review on trustpilot as well.see what that for a more detailed review. but i would give this company zero stars if i could. all i could say is stay away. unlike other people who had endless problems with their device, i could honestly say i did not. it's just trying to deal with them on a general level. dishonest liars no regard for what you have to say the associates have to be trained to lie. they have no conscience!! i mean the company is money hungry they need to bs you at the end to try to get another bi weekly payment. you people should be ashamed of yourselves!!! and all those participating in their shenanigans remember KARMAS a b____h ! for more see trustpilot!! stay away is all i could say !!!! read more

These are the WORST PEOPLE to deal with!!!! The Customer service center reps are SO RUDE and talk down to you, like your a dirty criminal. They made me jump through so many hoops to even remove the Intoxalock from my car. I had it set up voluntarily, but they said I needed authorization from my probation officer, which I DON NOT HAVE. Forced me to pay EXTRA FEES and forced me to stay on it an EXTRA MONTH. Whatever you do, do not use this service. Use these guys: https://www.lifesafer.com/texas200/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=11992856803&utm_content=554042573178&utm_term=car%20breathalyzer&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrpHP5NHN9gIVSBXUAR0S7A-sEAAYAyAAEgKssfD_BwE read more

One star is one too many for this shitshow of a racketeering business built on extortion. Save yourselves the headache and trouble of dealing with this scam company, if you're currently using it then boycott it and go to another company for an interlock device!! that is unless; you like to be treated like a dog, lied to constantly, taxed and or charged for their mistakes not yours or issued fees for anything they can think of. you're not a customer, human nor person or anything other than a number and how much they can squeeze out of you the moment their devil device is installed All in the name of their demonically twisted and corrupt view of "public safety"... read more

This morning I was trying to set up an appointment to get my interlock device off after 2 years, and I spoke with somebody on the phone around 8:30 AM, they said it was all taken care of... However it wasn't... I called back this afternoon, and a wonderful person by the name of Kenya Holloway answered, and from then on took care of everything I needed to accomplish. She was so nice, and did everything she needed to do to make my experience go perfectly. Thanks again Kenya for going above and beyond in your profession to make my afternoon wonderful! :-) Its people like you that are selfless that make this world a better place Thanks so much, Christopher Bender read more

#intoxalock is a criminal organization that intentionally sabotages taxpayers that are mandated to have their equipment installed. i have 28 evidence videos that prove that the company is an extortion plot to make you fail repeatedly, and it has nothing to do with alcohol. this company needs to be driven out of business and their owners all need to be in jail. your state lets them get away with it so they can keep their hands on your throat forever. beware! if anyone wants to join in on a class-action lawsuit against these criminals, let me know! here's my youtube channel to prove it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPSN2FK-IcW46thJErEzIVw/videos read more
