What Happens if I Have a Vehicle Service Appointment with an Ignition Interlock Installed?

So you’ve got your Ignition Interlock installed. Now it turns out that you need to get to your oil change appointment. Or you have some other vehicle maintenance services to attend to. If this is the case, there’s no need to worry about vehicle service appointments if you do have a Smart Start Ignition Interlock equipped.

With Smart Start, you are in good hands, no matter what! All that you need to do is go through our simple process with our vehicle service procedure.

Getting to a Vehicle Service Appointment with an Ignition Interlock

Our process will provide a simple solution if you need vehicle service on your Ignition Interlock-equipped vehicle. Since each state has different requirements for when your vehicle needs service, we have vehicle service instructions that are separated by state on our website. View your state’s instructions from our website and provide them to your mechanic during your appointment.

In general, however, the mechanic needs to call Smart Start from their business phone to let us know your vehicle is being serviced or worked on. That way, your Ignition Interlock provider knows what’s going on. Keep in mind that we can only speak to your mechanic regarding vehicle service instructions!

IMPORTANT! Make sure you keep all your service receipts handy! If a lockout should occur during your service appointment, your receipt will be proof that your vehicle was getting service at the time.

Have any questions? We’re here to help! Our customer service agents can assist you any time, even during weekends and holidays, at (800) 831-3299.
