If you’ve been ordered to have an alcohol interlock installed in your vehicle, chances are you’re already navigating enough stress, paperwork and confusion.

At TGR HQ | Home of Opposite Lock Sunshine Coast, we believe the process should feel straightforward, respectful and supportive from day one.

We proudly install and service Draeger Alcohol Interlock Systems right here on the Sunshine Coast, helping drivers get safely and legally back on the road.

What Is an Alcohol Interlock?

An alcohol interlock is a breath-testing device fitted to your vehicle that prevents the car from starting if alcohol is detected above the legal limit.

The system requires you to provide a breath sample before starting the vehicle and during random rolling retests while driving.

These systems are designed to improve road safety while helping drivers meet Queensland interlock program requirements.
