We install a breath analyzer on your vehicle that is electronically connected to the ignition. These devices, the SSI 1000, is about the size of a cellular phone. When you breathe into the unit for several seconds, it measures your breath alcohol level and compares it with predetermined limits. If your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is over the authorized limit, your vehicle will not start.

If your BrAC is within the allowable range, you’re on your way. As you’re driving, you will be required to take periodic rolling requests.

Once a month, take your vehicle to a local Smart Start Center. There, our certified technicians will service your Smart Start Ignition Interlock Device and schedule your next appointment. You can then make your monthly lease payments whenever you bring your vehicle in for service.
