You need to use an Ignition Interlock Device, but it turns out your calibration appointment date won’t work for you anymore. Or you forgot that the service appointment was today. What happens if you miss your Ignition Interlock monthly or bi-monthly appointment date? We’ll walk you through what you need to do before your service appointment to avoid potential consequences so you can get your full driving privilege back.

Calibration Appointments and Grace Periods for Your Ignition Interlock

First, you should know that the way calibrations are scheduled is up to your state, not your Ignition Interlock provider. If you need to calibrate your Ignition Interlock every month, or however long your oversight authority gives you, you need to comply with this IID requirement and all others until the end of your program. So, what happens if I miss my Interlock appointment?

Missed service appointments could unfortunately result in an Ignition Interlock lockout. However, in some states, if you contact your Interlock provider beforehand there are short “grace periods” you can use to prevent an Interlock violation or penalty from occurring for missing a calibration appointment or service visit.

If you think you can’t make your service appointment, call Smart Start’s friendly Customer Care Center at [company_variable name=”Corporate Telephone Number Link”]. Our service agents will help you, reschedule your motor vehicle appointment if eligible, or provide you the best advice on what to do.

You can also check when your next motor vehicle service appointment date is right from your Ignition Interlock Device. Just press the # sign and then the number 1 on your device’s keypad. Your next service appointment date and time will show on the screen for your convenience. When you are provided a receipt after your service visit, you’ll also see your next calibration’s date and time on the bottom.

Lastly, remember that you have a 24/7/365 team ready to help you. Just call [company_variable name=”Corporate Telephone Number Link”] and we’ll provide the answers to your questions.
