Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious offence that can have far-reaching consequences, not only for the driver involved but for the wider community. For those looking to rebuild their lives and regain their driving privileges post-DUI, understanding and participating in the South Australian Mandatory Alcohol Interlock Scheme (SA MAIS) is a crucial step. At Autocare Mount Gambier, we are here to support you on this journey with our top-of-the-line SmartStart Interlock systems, including the advanced SSI 20/20™ and the newly launched SSI 20/30™ models.

An interlock device, commonly referred to as a breathalyser, is a breath-testing apparatus that's connected to a vehicle's ignition system. This device requires the driver to perform a breath-alcohol concentration (BAC) test before the engine can start. If the BAC detected is above a pre-set limit (usually set to 0.02% or zero for zero-tolerance policies), the vehicle will not start. This innovative technology serves as a preventive measure, ensuring individuals convicted of DUI are able to drive again, but only under the condition that they do so safely and soberly.

At Autocare Mount Gambier, we specialise in both the supply and installation, as well as the removal, of SmartStart Interlock systems. We offer two of the most sophisticated models on the market: the SSI 20/20™ and the SSI 20/30™. These systems are designed for user-friendliness and reliability, ensuring compliance with the SA MAIS without unnecessary stress or hassle.

Whether you are just beginning your journey back to gaining your licence or nearing the completion of your mandated programme, our experienced technicians are here to provide professional service with a personal touch.

The Interlock Programme is a critical component of efforts to improve road safety and reduce alcohol-related incidents on the road. Administered by the Department of Planning, Transport, and Infrastructure (DPTI), this programme is designed to aid drivers in regaining their licences post-DUI disqualification. Smart Start Australia, as an approved alcohol interlock supplier for the SA MAIS, ensures that participants receive not only the equipment they need but also comprehensive support throughout their programme.

Navigating the South Australian Mandatory Alcohol Interlock Scheme (SA MAIS)

The path to having your interlock device removed hinges on compliance and consistent sober driving. If the device records no BAC violations during the final three months of your programme, you become eligible for removal of the interlock device. Instances of a single BAC violation do not necessarily preclude you from removal; this will be subject to approval from the registrar. However, recording two or more BAC violations will mean the interlock device remains in place, with an extension of the programme length determined and communicated to you.
