#1 Ignition Interlock Device Provider at City Car Radio & Air Inc. in San Rafael
It’s impossible to talk about San Rafael, California, without considering how the Northern California town got its name. Located in Marin County, in the northern region of the San Francisco Bay Area, it’s best known for the Mission San Rafael Arcangel. It was founded in 1817 as a hospital, and San Rafael formed around it before the city was incorporated in 1874.
That’s why tourism groups promote San Rafael as “the city with a mission.” It’s a picturesque part of California history, and we’re proud to help keep residents safe from drunk driving and DUI incidents with Ignition Interlock Devices in San Rafael, California.
