Your local authorized Smart Start Interlocks service centre.

At Newport Auto Electrical, we understand that getting an alcohol interlock installed can feel like a daunting process. That’s why we have partnered with Smart Start Interlocks (https://smartstartinterlocks.co.nz/), New Zealand’s most popular interlock provider, to bring you a service that is simple, friendly, and 100% Kiwi-owned.

Why Choose Us for Your Interlock?
We are part of the largest interlock service network in New Zealand. Located conveniently in Twyford, we provide expert installation, monthly servicing, and removal of alcohol interlock devices right here in Hastings.

• We Make It Easy: From the moment you call, you’ll be supported by Smart Start’s local team who understand the process and can guide you through your interlock licence or sentence requirements.

• Top-Tier Technology: We install the SSI-20/20™ device, which uses police-grade fuel cell technology for accuracy and reliability. It’s small, discreet, and has been used in over a million vehicles worldwide.

• Nationwide Freedom: Because Smart Start has over 80 service centres across NZ, you can travel freely. If you leave the Bay, you can get your vehicle serviced at any other agent from Kaitaia to Invercargill.

• Support That Cares: You get access to a free helpline (0800 002 182) where calls are answered fast by real people who have all had interlocks installed themselves. They know the NZ interlock programme inside and out, and if they don’t have the answer to your question they’ll be able to direct you to the people who do.
