RoadGuard Interlock: what people actually report
We do not take payment for placement, and we do not run a star rating we cannot defend. What follows is what we can verify.
What we can verify
- Network: 799 installation points across 35 states — 8% of the 10,531 we index, #5 by size.
- Reach into smaller towns: present in 647 towns and cities. This matters more than the headline number, because you drive to a center every 30 to 60 days for calibration.
- How easily you can leave: 54% of its addresses also fit a competitor’s device — switching provider often means staying at the same garage.
- Where you have no alternative: in 80 towns it is the only installer we found. Local monopoly is not a criticism of the company, but it does mean no second quote.
- Published pricing: no national price list; quotes are given per state and per center.
- Not available in: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia.
How to read this
Every figure above is counted from our own index of installation points, rebuilt from the providers’ public center finders. It describes reach and structure — not how the company treats you when a test fails at 7am. Those two things are often unrelated, and anyone claiming to score them from the same data is guessing.
What has been put to RoadGuard Interlock by a regulator or a court
This is the part of a provider’s conduct that leaves a public, dated, checkable record. Forum posts do not. Each entry below names the legal entity involved, the forum, the docket where there is one, and how it ended — including the ones the company won, because a review that prints only the losses is an advert with the sign reversed.
We found no published court decision, federal docket entry or state attorney general action naming RoadGuard Interlock. That is a statement about the public record, not a clean bill of health — see below.
What we looked at, and what a blank section means
We searched published court decisions and federal dockets, state attorney general enforcement records and contemporaneous reporting on those cases. Where a provider has no entries below, it means we found nothing in those places — not that nothing exists. Small claims, arbitration and private complaints leave no public record at all, and the industry writes arbitration into its agreements, so a quiet record is partly a feature of how these contracts work.
