Your interlock, watched over.
An ignition interlock is months of your life where one bad reading — mouth alcohol, a miscalibrated unit, someone else blowing into it — can quietly add six more. AES is your single point of contact for the whole term: we monitor your data logs, catch false violations before they cost you, and work with your provider, attorney, and the MVD so you finish on time. You call us, not the installer.
A reading you didn't earn can cost you months.
In Arizona, certain interlock readings are logged as violations — and every two major violations can add another six months to your required term. The cruel part is that many violations aren't drinking at all. They're the device reacting to something it was never meant to flag.
- Mouth alcoholMouthwash, breath spray, a sip of kombucha, or certain foods can spike a reading for minutes — long after your actual BAC is zero.
- Calibration driftAn out-of-calibration or aging handset can report alcohol that isn't there. The unit, not you, is the problem.
- Someone else blewA friend, a valet, or a shop tech who started your car can leave a violation in your name.
- The missed rolling retestMiss the short window to blow while driving and it can log as a refusal — even though you simply didn't hear it.
- Health conditionsGERD, diabetes, and low-carb ketosis can all produce mouth or breath alcohol the device misreads.
Caught early and documented, many of these never have to count against you. That early catch is exactly what AES is for.
One point of contact for the whole term.
You shouldn't have to become an expert in fuel-cell sensors and violation codes to get through your interlock period. That's our job. Here's what AES does so you don't face it alone.
- Data-log monitoringWe help you read and track your interlock logs so nothing surprising shows up at your next service visit.
- False-violation responseWhen a reading looks like mouth alcohol, food, or a calibration error, we help you document and respond before it adds time.
- Provider coordinationWe work with your MVD-certified provider on calibration, service timing, and the paperwork that supports a dispute.
- Attorney & MVD updatesWith your consent, we keep your attorney and the MVD informed so your compliance is visible and your record stays clean.
- Know-the-traps educationWe coach you on the rolling retest, the foods and products to avoid, and the routines that keep your logs clean.
- One number to callConfused reading at 7am? You call AES. We make sense of it and tell you exactly what to do next.

See SHOT-LIST.md · Aspect 4:5Call AES — not the installer.
The company that leases you the device collects a fee every month you keep it. A longer term isn't against their interest — it's revenue. That's not a knock on them; it's just the math. It also means the installer is the wrong first call when something goes wrong.
AES has no stake in your lease. Our only goal is to help you finish your interlock term as quickly and cleanly as Arizona law allows. We're the independent advocate in your corner — reviewing the logs, questioning the readings, and making sure a device error never quietly becomes your problem.

The questions we hear most.
What does AES do during my interlock period?
AES is your single point of contact. We help you read and monitor your interlock data logs, flag readings that look like false violations — mouth alcohol, food, calibration error, or someone else blowing into the device — help you respond before a violation adds months, and coordinate documentation with your provider, attorney, and the MVD. You call us, not the installer, when something goes wrong.
Why call AES instead of the interlock provider directly?
The company that leases you the device earns money every month you keep it, so a longer term isn't against their interest. AES has no stake in your lease. We're an independent advocate whose only goal is to help you finish your interlock term as quickly and cleanly as the law allows.
Can a false reading really add time to my interlock?
Yes. In Arizona, certain readings are logged as violations, and every two major violations can add another six months to your required term. Mouth alcohol from mouthwash or food, an out-of-calibration unit, or another person blowing into the device can all create a reading you didn't earn. Catching and addressing these quickly is the whole point of AES log monitoring.
Does AES install the interlock device?
No. The device must come from an Arizona MVD-certified interlock provider. AES is not the installer — we're the advocate who watches your logs, helps you respond to violations, and keeps your attorney and the court informed throughout the term.
