Made an appointment and then was told I was there on the wrong day. After recognizing the mistake they said ok we fixed. The installer did not agree to the appointment that was set.
Ended up renting a car to go out of town since they could not meet my appointment.
15 calls to schedule an appointment.
When I call for an appointment I get hung up on or it takes 45 minutes.

I got my unit put in on July 19th I've had to pay to $45 phones so far for the running mode the 3-minute time it gives me is making me panic I have anxiety and it says I'm not blowing hard enough it put me down an hour away from home the day after I bought it I went to go see my my niece do graduation pictures. Afterwards we went out to eat had no trouble blowing it when I start up but it's the running mode that gets me. I ended up having to call 911 I waited online for help after I pulled off the road and cut the car off it was a hundred and one degrees I was in a spot where there was no houses no nothing just Woods on the road cars for flying. 70 miles an hour I went into a total panic mode after staying on the phone with monitech for 35 minutes on hold I called nine-one-one the police officer Kane I stayed with me until I could get a hold of someone this is not safe at all they need to have more time they need somebody needs to figure something else out sinuses the wait time is ridiculous when you need something immediately when there's a hundred plus degree Heat.

Unfortunately, our devices' settings are dictated by state regulations, including the allotted time for taking a test. We do our best to train our clients how to use the device, but understand the difficulty for new clients. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with honest feedback. We are always striving to become better for our customers, and your feedback helps us to best understand how. An experienced Monitech representative will be reaching out shortly.

Need a returned call
Received a voicemail at 630 pm from Monitech stating that my appointment for tomorrow has been cancelled and that I need to call the 800 number to reschedule and I will be given an override code. I have been on hold for over an hour. Thanks for the short notice Monitech. Now I have 1 day to somehow get them on the phone before my unit is locked out. I would like a call back before this happens.

This company is HORRIBLE
This company is HORRIBLE. Customer Service is without a doubt the WORST I have EVER experienced. You'd think all the money they make for false positives, monthly fees & service fees they'd be able to afford a better system that actually detects food, drink & smoke from alcohol & actually be able to hire enough employees to actually handle the number of customers they need to serve. The machine was improperly installed Per MODERN CHEVROLET and has brought on my engine light. I had scheduled a service appointment on a Friday and MONITECH didn't give the tech's a code until 4 days later which was not needed by then & not too mention while they had my truck in the garage they missed a running test now I have 3 days before the lockout. Of course, getting someone on the phone to handle this mix up is impossible. DONT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE!!

We appreciate the feedback, and apologize for your negative experience when reaching out to our Customer Service Center.
Please note that the ignition interlock device will register any trace of alcohol from any source containing it - this is how the device effectively ensures an impaired individual is not able to start a vehicle, and how we are able to confidently state the ignition interlock is fulfilling it's purpose. We advise in our training manuals, training videos, and in person when our clients install the device - to be mindful of testing right after eating, drinking, using mouthwash, etc., as doing this can potentially register a fail and will require the device to be reset.
We recognize how important it is to do maintenance on your vehicle, and have a process in place that protects you with your state program. Monitech will contact your mechanic within 48 business hours of obtaining the required information from a certified mechanic performing the repairs, to provide assistance with the device.
Someone from our executive management team is looking into your account and will reach out to you shortly to see how we can assist you in getting this resolved.

The call centers really suck
The call centers really suck! Many times I have hung up after waiting an hour and half to be answered. Also trying to get my financial records from you has been impossible. I wish I had went with Smart Lock.
