You had an ignition interlock device (IID) installed in your vehicle and you’re feeling ready to move past the mistake of your drunk driving charge. You’re trying to figure out what needs to be done to meet the requirements of your restricted license, ALEA / DPS, and your newly installed automobile blow machine, but it's a bit overwhelming. Smart Start of Alabama understands that this is a stressful time for you, and we will do our best to make sure the maintenance of your alcohol device is one less worry.
MONTHLY SERVICE AND CALIBRATION
Once a month you will be required to bring your vehicle in for service and calibration. At that time, you will make your monthly payment and the information that is on your device will be downloaded and sent to your monitoring authority. Your unit will also be calibrated during each visit to make sure it stays within the operating parameters that NHTSA, Alabama state law, and your specific program require.
STUFF HAPPENS
If you are working or cannot make it in on your scheduled appointment date, we can work with you to reschedule. Our unit allows a 5 day grace period past your scheduled appointment date.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T BRING MY VEHICLE IN?
In the event your grace period expires, your vehicle will go into a lockout and the vehicle will not start. Our unit has a remote code unlock feature. You’ll call us at 1-866-447-8686 to get the code. Then you’ll be able to start your vehicle one time after a successful breath test. At that point you’ll need to drive the vehicle directly into a service center.
LET OUR FRIENDLY STAFF KEEP YOU ON THE ROAD SAFELY
Our numerous service centers are flexible to your needs when your monthly service appointment is due. From the time you call to schedule your appointment until the time we remove your device, you will receive courteous and prompt service from all of our qualified technicians and customer service representatives. We appreciate you choosing Smart Start of Alabama to help you separate drinking from driving!
