What Is an Ignition Interlock Device?
An ignition interlock device, sometimes called a car breathalyzer, is a small unit wired into your vehicle’s ignition system. Before the car will start, the driver must provide a breath sample. If alcohol is detected above the programmed limit, the vehicle will not start. Courts and state requirements in Iowa commonly mandate IID installation following a DUI or OWI conviction.
Intoxalock is one of the most widely recognized ignition interlock providers in the country. As an authorized Intoxalock ignition service location, Georgen Auto installs and services their devices for drivers in Manchester and the surrounding areas of IA.

How the Process Works
The installation process for an ignition interlock device is managed through Intoxalock, not directly through our shop. Here is how it typically works:
- Your attorney, the court, or the state of Iowa will direct you to install an IID
- You contact Intoxalock at +1 (877) 373-7181 to set up your account and get authorization
- Intoxalock will assign you to an installation location — Georgen Auto is one of those authorized locations in the Manchester area
- Once your appointment is confirmed through Intoxalock, you bring your vehicle to us and we handle the installation
If you have questions about where you are in that process, our team can help point you in the right direction. We work with Intoxalock regularly and understand how the process flows.
The Car Breathalyzer: What to Expect After Installation
Once your Intoxalock ignition interlock is installed, you will blow into the device each time you want to start your vehicle. The device logs results and sends data to the monitoring authority. You will also be required to come in for scheduled calibration appointments to keep the device working correctly and to stay in compliance with your state requirements.
Missing calibration appointments or violations can affect your driving privileges. Our team keeps track of your service schedule and will remind you when your next visit is due. Staying on top of these appointments is one of the most important parts of completing your IID program.
