Trash company
January 6, 2022

This company is absolute garbage. On top of scheduling an appointment, confirming it, then telling you it was never scheduled and you having to pay double the original amount because of their screwup. You will have random people calling you from multiple numbers and texting you, each with a new a different story, no one is communicating right. Then on top of that they tell you they notify the DMV every 15 minutes, well don't trust that, because they don't. I got my license suspended because they lied and straight up never notified the DMV after going through so much to get this installed for double the original price. They will stop providing good customer care after the thing is installed, because they don't care about you now, on top of that an extra $250 in random fees. DO NOT go through them, trust me. Garbage

I had this installed on my car in November and it has killed my car battery. You'll wait on Hold forever to get help. I'm currently at 45 minutes. This piece of crap costs $118 a month and it has rendered my car useless. Now I need a new battery. I just bought the battery last autumn. Ridiculous.

The SALES reps, on the other hand, are RIGHT on answering their phones.

Whenever you call them the customer service is the least helpful experience ever. They charge you an additional fee if your battery dies and then give you a while condescending speech about "not letting your battery die" in the middle of winter.
The next experience I had with their customer service was when I went to get my device calibrated. Their servers were down and I drove 40 miles since the closest service center was so far.
Couldn't get it calibrated on my last day allowed (right between a weekend and a holiday). They told me I was $#*! out of luck if I didn't get it done that day. No offer to postpone. Just a "good luck with that."
This company is a money grab.

This place seems like a scam. They take advantage of people who have gotten in trouble for drinking and driving by telling them they need this device whether they do or do not actually need it. They're pushy with sales. I let my fiancé use my card for the first payment. They then saved my card number & charged me after that. When I called to tell them I didn't authorize the charge, they said they understood but would not refund my account. Now, I obviously got the money back from my fiancé, but it shows they really only care about making money. The customer is definitely not their first concern. There's also hidden fees. They will give you a price on installation & then charge you to ship the device to the mechanic. They'll start charging their weekly fee before installation is even completed. All over they're pretty crummy!

They rip people off
November 26, 2022

Please, please. Read these reviews. They will take your money. Very unprofessional and rude. Person to install cancelled on me I tried getting refund and went to another company. They refunded nothing as they said I cancelled. These people need to be known to rip people off and help people understand what kind of company they are

Horrible thieves!
November 3, 2023

They told us one price and charged us double! Constantly took out more money then they said they were going too! It also caused our car to stop working so now we have to get a new car and lost a bunch of money because they took out twice what they said!Do not use them if you can avoid it! When we called to tell them they were rude and lied and did it again! Horrible company!

$#*! this company
September 21, 2019

I've been using this company for one month and had to pay hundreds of dollars for bs lockouts. Customer service cant or wont help good luck trying to speak with a manager left them voice mails and never reached back out to me. If you use this company plan on being late everywhere you go and getting fired from your job and paying a ton of money for nothing.

This company does not honor what customer service reps say. I have been waiting for an installation form to send to dmv for five weeks, while I am paying for the device and car insurance but can't drive. Every rep says 3-5 business days and are dishonest. I have been waiting for 5 weeks and have called them every week. Customer service is based out of India, difficult to understand, dishonest and dont care. The CEO Kathy Holland does not operate a reputable company. Please delve into actual reviews instead of the five stars advertised on the website. Choose another company. Intoxalock is making money daily while I wait for their form to send to the DMV. I wish a rating of zero was available.

Garbage
March 18, 2022

I have had Intoxalock for about five days. I have been to the service center 4 times so far for problems. Have had to lock outs due to battery issues. Took to my service center and they tell me battery and alternator are fine. They replaced hand held and still having same issues. It makes me blow about ten times in a 30 min drive. Horn starts randomly going off for no reason. This is a horrible system. I am at the service center right now to hopefully get this resolved.

Do.Not.Use!
July 5, 2020

This is hands down the worst company, device and customer service available. The device will drain your battery ever day and then when you get locked out due to their faulty equipment, they will charge you 75 dollars to get it back up and draining your battery again. I would give more info but I have to go buy a battery tender so I can have a working vehicle when I get back from out of town for work this Thursday. Worst decision I have ever made and thats over my drinking and driving to be in this mess... absolutely horrible...

Where ti start, try to get my device taken out and compliance unit refuse to do their job. Went to make a complaint within company, the lady wouldn't let me trying to explain its my fault because I can't provide court order number. I have them the correct municipality where I was charged and they had a different one by the end of my time with the device. As if they are refusing to remove the box outta my car

Crap.
April 27, 2023

If I could give it less then one star I would. Ever have someone cuss at you on the phone because they refuse to answer which one of their employers messed up? Call intoxalock. Wanna be charged hundreds of dollars to put the device in, get extensions, and have it removed because you can't afford it anymore? Well intoxalock will gladly charge hundreds more for not being able to afford the extra fees, good luck.

This company is horrible. They don't even deserve a one star after removing my card from my account that I had closed weeks ago. Still getting charges still can't talk to a supervisor when I call had to use the service center number in order to even get through after many calls, Karen Schneider, the sales rep. Told me to call her if there were any issues and she would refund my money left her many voicemails. Talk to many people about her. Everybody told me she would call me back well that went on for many weeks. Eventually I just wrote it off but now, after closing my account and having everything removed, still being charged asked for proof that they removed my card they can't do that so we are going the legal Route. This is a scam And after you leave a bad review for them, they Sell your number And you're being harassed getting calls 10 times a day from the same person trying to sell you a protection plan for a system you don't have

My Alternator was going out in my car while driving. There was absolutely no way I knew this was going to happen. And my wasn't supplying enough power"while trying to get my vehicle to a safe place to park" to the device. They still charged me a rolling lock out fee of 75.00. Absolutely ridiculous.the device is crap. Do not go with this company

Don't Use Intoxalock
December 1, 2020

It is beyond difficult to talk with anyone from this company. Every time I try to get a calibration, they send me to the wrong place. Then when you try to actually get a hold of someone, they tell you they'll call back and never do. Or you'll leave a message and they won't call back. Usually companies like this only want your money, I can't even get a hold of anyone to take my money.

Horrible company!
May 22, 2023

They've owed me close to $450 for over a month now & keep telling me they'll credit it back to my card on file; they've intentionally waited until I had the devise removed, then closed my account & now won't give my money back. Customer service is awful, fees are awful, all around a horrible company. If you have to get an IID, go with Smart Start...they're a great company to deal with & they don't rip you off.

Intoxalock charges $75.00 for any and all issues acquired during the time you have their device. They are preying on their consumers. If I had another option I would surely drop them in a heartbeat. I blew into my device after 5 min of using mouthwash and didn't try to start the vehicle. Yep….a $75.00 fee. What a joke and little gig they have going.
