Installing, servicing, and removing an ignition interlock device with us is very easy and convenient. You may ask: Can you travel with an interlock device? The simple answer: Absolutely. This post will further explain this topic.
Can you travel with an interlock device?
Summer is a great time to travel. Many adventurous families and individuals take a vacation or road trip at least once before the weather cools off. You may be worried about how a vacation will work if you have an interlock device, but it’s no problem since you chose Smart Start of Louisiana.
We are a certified approved installer and service provider with many locations throughout the state of Louisiana and even throughout the country to serve you. When you are looking for the best place to get an ignition interlock device, look no further.
You’ll still service your device once a month
Each state has its own rules and operating parameters, but each Smart Start location prides itself on knowing the rules of the state in which it operates.
Once a month you will be required to bring your vehicle in for service and calibration. At that time, the information that is on your device will be downloaded and sent to your monitoring authority. Your unit will also be calibrated during each visit to make sure it stays within the operating parameters that NHTSA, state law, and your specific program require.
A little planning goes a long way
Plan your trip around your calibration date if possible. Try to make sure a monthly appointment won’t fall during the time you are gone. Call us to see if the appointment can be scheduled before or after your trip. If you can’t avoid the need for a service and calibration during your trip, just make sure your monitoring authority allows out-of-state calibrations.
When you choose Smart Start of Louisiana you are also choosing to have about 1,800 service centers in 48 states at your disposal. If you need service during a road trip, you do not need to worry since you are never far from a service center.
Staying in Louisiana?
If you travel to a different part of Louisiana during your trip, finding a service center should not be hard at all. We have locations across the state and you can visit any of them.
You do not have to visit the same location in Louisiana each month. If you move or travel within the state, we’ll easily help you find the location most convenient for you when you call us to set up your next appointment.
