Will This Interlock Device Void My Vehicle’s Warranty?

June 13, 2017

Getting an Interlock Device installed in your vehicle can seem a little worrisome. If it is going to be a part of your vehicle, will an Interlock Device void a vehicle’s warranty? The short answer, when installing an Interlock Device, is no.

Why? Because Interlock Devices are an aftermarket accessory for your vehicle.

Why Interlock Devices Won’t Void Your Vehicle’s Warranty

An aftermarket accessory, per the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), is “a part made by a company other than the vehicle manufacturer or the original equipment manufacturer.” Aftermarket accessories are considered as parts that do not affect the operation of your vehicle, which defines an Interlock Device.

In other words, just like installing an aftermarket alarm system for your car, your Interlock Device will not void your warranty. Think of the Interlock as an add-on accessory to your vehicle that is temporary, not as an actual change.

Interlock Provider Research

Make sure you conduct some research on reputable, state-approved vendors before choosing an Interlock Device. Some Interlock companies do not have licensed, qualified technicians taking care of your vehicle. This could lead to vehicle damage when they install or remove the Device.

Smart Start has only the best products and service in the Interlock Device industry. Our technicians are fully licensed and qualified to take the best care of your vehicle. They will also provide you hands-on training with your Interlock before you leave the service center.

Both our SSI-20/30™ and SSI-20/20™ has fuel cell technology, which is alcohol-specific.

Having this technology and service means we are providing you the utmost accuracy, safety and speed in Interlock Devices.

We hope we have alleviated some of the fears that may have come to mind regarding Interlocks.
