    Additional business information

    Additional Info:
    BBB has received complaints in our standard 36 month reporting period from consumers regarding the business practices of E P S.

    Consumers allege the business uses predatory tactics in booting their vehicle. Consumers state signage for parking is not clear or unable to be located. Consumers also state they have paid for parking and shopped at assigned retailers and their vehicles still become booted. Consumers claim boot technicians lack customer service skills and refuse to remove boots even when shown customer's receipts.

    BBB contacted E P S and requested their voluntary cooperation in addressing the pattern. The business responded and provided the steps they have taken to address the pattern detected.

      The worst company l've ever encountered! You have to carry a physical card or cash with you as if it's the 20th century, or you'll end up stranded, and they couldn't care less. Their customer service is terrible and completely lacking in empathy!******* ****** should not be in a management position; he is rude and unprofessional. He hung up on me while I was trying to explain my situation and only seemed interested in money, disregarding everything else. One of his technician said he's usually very difficult to work with, so l'm confused as to why he is even in management?! EPS are definitely scammers! If you see their parking signs, just park elsewhere. I've heard that even if you register and pay, they might still boot your car to extract more money from you. They also messed up my rims! Their dispute system is definitely set up for them to win no matter what you say or do! Just a messed up company! This company presents itself as reputable but is, in reality, a scam. It was absolutely the worst experience of my life!
