Why Regular Servicing Is Required

Regular servicing is a mandatory part of participating in the Victoria Alcohol Interlock Program. These scheduled appointments ensure your device is functioning correctly, remains compliant with regulations, and continues to accurately record all required data throughout your program period.

Monthly Servicing & Data Downloads

Alcohol interlock devices must be serviced at regular intervals—typically every 30 days. During each appointment, our technicians will:
  • Download recorded data from the device
  • Review breath test results and any violations
  • Check calibration and device performance
  • Ensure the system is operating correctly and reliably

Scheduling Your Servicing Appointments

Servicing appointments are booked in advance to keep you on track with your program requirements. Our team will help you schedule your next visit before you leave, making it easy to stay compliant and avoid disruptions.

How Long Does Servicing Take?

Most servicing appointments take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. We aim to keep the process quick and efficient so you can get back on the road with minimal downtime.

For your convenience we are also open on Saturday mornings.

Why Ongoing Servicing Is Important

Keeping up with your servicing schedule is essential to:
  • Maintain compliance with program conditions
  • Ensure accurate data reporting
  • Avoid device lockouts or penalties
  • Stay on track to successfully complete your program

What Happens If You Miss a Service?

Missing a scheduled servicing appointment can result in the device entering a lockout mode, which may prevent your vehicle from starting after the 7 day grace period after your appointment date. If you’re unable to attend an appointment, it’s important to reschedule as soon as possible.

Maintenance While the Device Is Installed

While the interlock device is installed, it’s important to:
  • Keep your vehicle in good working condition
  • Follow all usage instructions carefully
  • Avoid tampering with the device
  • Attend all required servicing appointments
Proper care helps ensure the device continues to operate reliably and avoids unnecessary issues.

Completing the Program & Device Removals

Once you have met all program requirements and your participation period is complete, you can arrange for the device to be removed. Before removal, your compliance history will be reviewed to ensure all conditions have been satisfied.

Our team will guide you through the removal process and ensure everything is completed correctly, helping you transition back to normal driving as smoothly as possible.
