Ignition Interlock in Scottsdale, Arizona
A Scottsdale DUI that ends in an interlock order means a certified device on your vehicle for 12 to 24 months, set by your charge. Here is what is easy to miss: Arizona’s interlock program is run by the state, so a Scottsdale order follows the exact same statute as one from anywhere in Arizona. The zip code does not change the rules — but it does change how convenient your install and monitoring can be.
Same statute, smoother setup
Plenty of Scottsdale drivers assume the closest device shop is the whole answer. It is not. An installer bolts in the unit and bills you each month — that is the easy part. The hard part is the months that follow: the calibration visits, the readings that look like violations but are not, and the deadline to dispute them. None of that is the installer’s job. AES coordinates the install with a certified Arizona partner and then actually watches your logs — the protection a device company simply does not offer.
Start here
Four questions, answered for all of Arizona — because in Scottsdale, the program works no differently.
Your term, by charge
A first-time DUI, an extreme DUI, and an aggravated case carry very different interlock lengths. Find where your Scottsdale City Court matter lands and when the term begins counting.
Check the termThe full cost picture
It is not just the install. Monthly lease, calibration appointments, removal, and the violation surcharges nobody mentions up front — laid out in plain numbers.
See the costBeat a false positive
Hand sanitizer, certain diets, and trace mouth alcohol can trip the unit. There is a tight deadline to dispute a reading — and AES is the one who files the challenge.
Protect yourselfGetting the device off
The calendar end of your term is not the same as clearance. A clean window before removal is what counts — and a single late lockout can push the date back.

One call to AES confirms your term, handles the required screening, books your install with a certified partner, and puts false-violation monitoring behind it. When a reading looks wrong, you want AES reviewing the log — not the company that profits from the lease.
