About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Quick Start Ignition Interlock, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘This place is cursed!’ after his truck wouldn’t start for the third time that week. Finally, an old mechanic with a greasy beard appeared and muttered something about ‘bad karma from last owner’s dog.’ He flipped a few switches, and voilà—engine roared to life. A relieved delivery driver thanked him, saying, ‘Guess I’ll take my lucky charm then,’ as he picked up a nearby bone-shaped keychain.
2. A mechanic was adjusting an ignition interlock device when suddenly, his phone started beeping like crazy—only it wasn’t his phone. All of a sudden, everyone in the garage turned silent as they watched him frantically waving his hand trying to silence what seemed like an invisible caller. Finally, he looked up and sheepishly smiled, saying, ‘Sorry guys, I must’ve accidentally activated the guy’s breathalyzer while talking to him.’
3. At Quick Start Ignition Interlock, a little girl pointed and whispered, ‘Daddy, why does that machine make people sing?’ Her dad smiled and explained, ‘Honey, it’s not singing—it’s just a way to check if someone has been drinking before driving.’ She nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘So, Daddy, do you have to sing too?’ He laughed, ruffling her hair, and said, ‘No, sweetie, only when they test other drivers!’
4. At Quick Start Ignition Interlock, a neighbor’s dog began barking hysterically every time someone walked through the door. It turned out that the dog had been abandoned there by a delivery driver who thought it was just an ordinary waiting room. Once they found its owner, the canine finally calmed down—and so did everyone else coming in for their ignition interlocks.
