In other words, an interlock device is simply a breathalyzer for your vehicle. Its purpose is to ensure that the vehicle’s driver isn’t putting anyone at risk due to his or her possible alcohol consumption. An ignition interlock requires a breath sample every time you start your car to ensure that you aren’t impaired.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How does an ignition interlock device work?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]An ignition interlock device interrupts the signal from the ignition to the starter until the minimal alcohol guidelines in that state are met. In other words, the device acts as a buffer that prevents you from starting your vehicle without first knowing if you have any alcohol in your system. This device does not have the ability to shut off your car once it is turned on as it is merely connected to the starter and battery of your vehicle, not your engine.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Are ignition interlock devices effective against drunk driving?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]Believe it or not, interlocking devices are very effective against drunk driving. It makes sense considering that a person is literally incapable of drinking alcohol and starting their vehicle, but the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have also found that there is clear evidence that the ignition interlock device installed in the offender’s vehicle is much more effective than alternative methods like license suspension or revocation in deterring DUI recidivism. In fact, an International Council on Alcohol Drugs and Traffic Safety study concluded that “breath alcohol ignition interlock devices, when embedded in a comprehensive monitoring and service program lead to 45% to 95% reductions in the rate of repeat DWI offenses of convicted DWI offenders.” Feel free to read more about it here.

Normally, at the time of arrest, or shortly after, you will receive an Order of Suspension. Though there are some cases that your license is suspended immediately upon arrest, this isn’t extremely likely. Make sure you do your due diligence in reading all of the paperwork you receive from both the court and the Department of Motor Vehicles to ensure you are being legally responsible.
Upon suspension of your license, you will need to enroll in an appropriate, approved, DUI Program. You need to ask the provider to file a Proof of Enrollment Certificate on your behalf. This DL-107 form is normally submitted to the DMV electronically from the DUI Program.
You will also need to obtain proof of financial responsibility, usually in the form of an SR-22, which is a special type of car insurance liability coverage. Finally, you will be required to install an ignition interlock device in order to be legally eligible to operate a motor vehicle again.
After you contact us, we will contact our friends at the DMV on your behalf to make sure you are eligible to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. We will set up an appointment for you, and once we’ve installed an ignition interlock device into your vehicle. we will issue you a DL920 form that you will have to hand to the Department of Motor Vehicles and pay a fee in order to get your restricted license.
In short, the only way to get your license back is to meticulously follow the steps set up for you by the state of California. You will need to enroll in DUI classes, purchase SR-22 insurance, install an ignition interlock device, and pay all fines and fees associated with these steps.

Absolutely not. Once you start your vehicle, the ignition interlock device will not shut off your vehicle. This device only prevents drivers from starting their vehicles when they are influenced by alcohol but will not shut off the vehicle while it is moving as this would defeat the purpose of driver safety. Once the vehicle’s engine is on, the device will not have an impact on your vehicle’s operations. The primary goal of an ignition interlock device is to guarantee the safety of all the people who drive a car after drinking alcohol. This device mandates a breath test for alcohol so that a person can legally drive. The device is installed and connected to your starter, not your engine.

It’s easy to understand that you may be concerned with how your interlocking device could affect the way you drive, but our device only requires a 1.5 second blow.

But seriously, our costs are very affordable and if needed, we can even put you on a payment plan.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What happens if i drink alcohol and blow into the device?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]If you haven’t been drinking and you blow into the device, the car will start as it usually does. If you have been drinking, the interlocking device in your car will warn you that you failed, keep a record that you failed, and prevent you from driving until you provide a clean breath sample. Though all of this sounds somewhat discouraging, here at Golden State Interlock, we are here for your convenience. We will walk you through everything so that this process is as quick and painless as possible. We pride ourselves in our unmatched customer service, great costs, superior products, and fantastic reviews.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Will i ever get stranded with an ignition interlock device installed on my vehicle?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]That depends if you’ve been drinking alcohol. Not only are we the exclusive distributor of the best interlock device on the market in California: the B.E.S.T Labs Inc. FR 9000 Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device, but our customer service representatives are on standby twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In the event that you can’t start your vehicle due to alcohol on your breath, you may have to wait until the alcohol on your breath fades away, but one of our customer service associates will be on hand to assist any questions or concerns you might have.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Are false positive breath alcohol readings common?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]With our state-of-the-art device, false positives rarely happen.

This could include things like mouthwash or chloraseptic spray, but could also include sugar alcohols found in many products. The sugar alcohols commonly found in foods are sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, isomalt, and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates. So, it’s wise to look at the ingredients of things that you put in your mouth if you don’t do that already. It’s smart to rinse thoroughly with water after having any type of alcohol in your mouth that could trick the device into thinking you were out drinking alcohol. Golden State Interlock’s ignition interlock device has a cutoff level of BAC 0.025 which means you will not get false positives from foods or drinks with slight levels of alcohol.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What if i have a respiratory problem that won’t allow me to blow into the device?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]Here at Golden State Interlock, we not only guarantee our work, we guarantee your satisfaction. Our goal here is to alleviate any stress that is related to your already stressful situation. We understand that illnesses like asthma, emphysema, or some kind of temporary lung infection are medical conditions that prevent people from blowing like a healthy person, and we will do everything we can to cater to our clients’ needs.
Fortunately, our devices here at Golden State Interlock are the best on the market. We use the Best Labs Inc.’s FR 9000 Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device which is, by far, the best device on the market today. With this device, adjustments can be made to cater to medical conditions that deter a healthy blow. In other words, our device can be made weaker so that it will accept a breath from someone who may have problems with breathing.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”If i have more than one vehicle, do i have to install an ignition interlock device on all of them?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]If you have two cars, you do not have to install an ignition interlock device in both of them. However, if you’d like to drive both vehicles, you do have to install a device in both vehicles. The Department of Motor Vehicles only require that you install the device in one vehicle, however. Upon installation, you will receive a restricted driver’s license limiting you to operating motor vehicles that have ignition interlock devices installed in them. For this reason, you cannot drive any car that does not have an ignition interlock device installed. If you’d like to drive more than one vehicle, you have to make sure that that vehicle meets the restrictions on your license (ie. IID).[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What if i have questions about how to use the device itself?” open_toggle_text_color=”#0091f4″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#313131″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#a8a8a8″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ title_line_height=”0.1em” closed_title_text_align=”left” closed_title_line_height=”0.1em” body_text_color=”#313131″ body_font_size=”14px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#eaeaea” border_width_bottom=”1px” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”-8px||9px||false|false”]If you happen to have any additional questions or concerns about using the device itself, check out our “Already with us?” in the menu.[/et_pb_toggle][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”do-i-qualify” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ background_color=”#000154″ min_height=”557px” custom_margin=”5px|||||” custom_padding=”5px||27px|||” background_enable_image=”off”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding=”21px||7px|0px||” custom_margin=”34px||||false|false” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ custom_margin_phone=”|||40px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.26.3″][et_pb_text module_class=”do-qualify-form-text” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_text_align=”left” text_text_color=”#313131″ header_text_align=”left” custom_padding=”200px|30px|200px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”29px||29px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”10px||10px||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” animation_style=”zoom” animation_intensity_zoom=”10%” text_text_align_tablet=”center” text_text_align_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_text_align_tablet=”center” header_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet”]
