Certified installation centers in Manning
Sorted by how far they are from the center of Manning. Where two providers work out of the same garage, we list the garage once with both names, and we include nearby towns when their center is closer than one of your own.
Compiled from providers’ own public location directories and deduplicated to unique physical places (how we build this index). Listing is not an endorsement, and no center pays to appear.

What South Carolina requires
Since the All Offender Law took effect on 19 May 2024, every DUI conviction in South Carolina means a device if you want to drive at all. Drivers convicted of a first DUI below 0.15% whose offense predates that day may still choose. Decline to enroll and the suspension runs indefinitely — there is no waiting it out.
- First offense: Set by the offense under the All Offender Law; drivers who decline to enroll simply stay suspended indefinitely rather than serving a fixed term
- Lockout threshold: Emma’s Law requires a camera device, and tampering with it or covering the lens is separately punishable; data is downloaded at a service center at least every 60 days
- Program run by: SC Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, with SCDMV holding the record
Why South Carolina orders these devices
An interlock order is not a judgment about you personally — it is what the state does with every case of this kind, and the reason sits in the crash record.
Source: NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2022. The count covers fatal crashes where police recorded that a driver had been drinking, which is narrower than the federal 0.08 BAC measure and therefore understates the real figure. Clarendon County runs at or below the South Carolina average — the requirement is set state-wide regardless. What the device changes is measurable too: a car fitted with one cannot be started over the limit, which is why the order attaches to driving privileges rather than to the sentence.

Interlock questions in Manning
Where can I get an ignition interlock device installed in Manning, SC?
We index 2 certified installation points in Manning, run by Intoxalock, LifeSafer. Addresses are listed above. Book with the provider your paperwork names, not the nearest one — a device approved in one state is not automatically approved in the next, and switching brands mid-term means a second installation fee.
How much does it cost to have an ignition interlock device installed in South Carolina?
South Carolina does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. Quotes in Manning will sit around that unless the provider is charging for something the state does not require.
Can I drink one beer and still start the car in South Carolina?
Almost certainly not. South Carolina does not print one fixed number in the statute — the level is set by the certifying agency in the device standard, typically between 0.02% and 0.025% BAC, far below the 0.08% driving limit. The device is not testing whether you are impaired, it is testing whether you drank. One drink shortly before a test is enough on most programs, and the fail is recorded whether or not you try again.
What does an ignition interlock device do?
An ignition interlock is a breath-alcohol tester wired into your car ignition. You blow into it before starting the engine; if your breath alcohol is above the state threshold, the engine will not start.
While you are driving, the device asks for rolling retests at random intervals. Every sample, skipped test, and lockout is recorded and sent to the agency monitoring your case.
