We know. It seems odd. But you have to call 855-272-0760 first. That’s the official Intoxalock scheduling number. They’ll get you all set up, then send you our way.
Now that we’ve got that squared away, let’s talk about what you need to know about Intoxalock in West Bend and why Truck Outfitters is the perfect place to get it installed.
What the Heck Is an Ignition Interlock Device?
If you’re reading this, you probably already know what an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) is. But just in case you don’t, or in case your cousin Jerry keeps asking you dumb questions, here’s the quick version:
An ignition interlock is a breathalyzer that connects to your vehicle’s ignition. Before you start your car, you have to blow into it. If it detects alcohol over the legal limit, your car won’t start. Simple as that.
Key Features of Modern IIDs
Today’s devices are more sophisticated than ever, featuring:
- Rolling retests – Random breath tests while driving to ensure continued sobriety
- GPS tracking – Monitors your location during tests
- Camera verification – Ensures the right person is taking the test
- Digital reporting – Automatically sends results to monitoring authorities
When Is an IID Required?
Common situations requiring an IID installation include:
- First-time DUI offenses (in many states)
- Multiple DUI convictions
- High blood alcohol concentration arrests
- As part of a restricted driving program
What to Expect During Operation
Your daily routine with an IID will involve:
- Morning startup – Initial breath test before starting your vehicle
- Random retests – Usually occurring within 5-15 minutes of starting the car
- Regular calibration – Monthly visits to ensure accurate readings
- Data downloads – Regular reporting of your testing history
These devices are required for certain DUI/DWI cases, and in many states, you can’t legally drive without one if a court orders you to have it.
Having to blow into a device before driving isn’t fun, but it’s a minor inconvenience compared to the dangers of drunk driving. Like wearing a seatbelt, it’s a small effort that saves lives.
So, if you’re required to get one installed, don’t fight it. Just get it done and move on with your life. And hey, if you’re in or around West Bend, Truck Outfitters makes the whole process as painless as possible.

What Happens After Installation?
Once your Intoxalock device is installed, you’re not totally off the hook yet. You’ll need to:
- Blow into the device every time you start your car.
- Take your vehicle in for periodic calibrations. These are required by state law and make sure the device is functioning properly.
- Avoid trying to bypass the system. (Seriously, don’t try to cheat the device. It won’t end well.)
The goal is to stay compliant and get through the required period without any issues. Then, when it’s time, you can get the device removed.
And guess what? We can handle the removal, too.
However, while you’re managing these responsibilities, it’s also a good idea to keep an eye on your vehicle’s overall health. Regular maintenance checks, which can be scheduled alongside your calibration appointments, are crucial for ensuring that your vehicle continues to run smoothly. For instance, if you have a truck, you might want to explore some helpful truck maintenance tips that can assist you during this period.
Truck maintenance includes checking tire pressure, fluid levels, and brakes. Additionally, keeping an emergency kit in your vehicle can provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events. By staying proactive with your truck’s care, you can minimize downtime and ensure a safe driving experience.
