If you have lost your licence due to a drink driving offence, installing an alcohol ignition interlock may be required before you can legally drive again.
At our Maroochydore workshop, Harmac Automotive provides professional interlock installation and servicing for drivers participating in the Queensland Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program (AIIP). Our experienced technicians can install and service approved interlock devices so you can meet program requirements and return to driving safely.
An alcohol ignition interlock is a breath-testing device installed in a vehicle that prevents the engine from starting if alcohol is detected in the driver’s breath.
Before starting the vehicle, the driver must provide a breath sample. If alcohol above the preset limit is detected, the vehicle will not start.
These devices help ensure drivers participating in the program remain alcohol-free when operating a vehicle.
The Queensland AIIP is designed to reduce drink driving by requiring certain offenders to only drive vehicles fitted with an approved interlock device.
Drivers may be required to participate in the program if they:
Financial assistance may be available for eligible drivers through the Queensland Government interlock assistance scheme, which helps cover some of the installation and leasing costs.
Missing scheduled servicing or failing to comply with the program conditions may result in an extension of the interlock period.
