This switch often known as K38 is fitted under the dash on the fire wall where you can here it clicking,behind the passenger kick panel on the center console.

I believe that this was an extra relay fitted to some cars and you could by pass it the same way as your garage did, the wire from ign switch goes to this starter lock out that in turn goes to the immoblizer.
