Parking Enforcement - Vehicle Immobilization
CPMi specializes in vehicle immobilization. The benefits to Vehicle Immobilization over towing are quite simple. First, the vehicle is not moved which automatically reduces your liability when a mistake is made by the tow company. Second, the violator pays right away and does not have to travel to get the vehicle. Third, 78% of (retail lot) violators illegally park for twelve minutes or less, allowing them plenty of time to park illegally and exit before the tow truck arrives. Fourth, the income generated from violations offset the cost of lot maintenance and / or repair.
The Immobilization Process
- An agreement is signed by both parties.
- Local Government, Chief of Police and Retail Tenants are notified.
- Warning signs are posted and operations begin.
- The Spotter tracks the Violator until he/she exits the property and/or enters a business not listed on the sign.
- The "wheel-lock" is attached to the vehicle along with a violation notice.
- The Violator returns and is approached by the Lot Manager.
- The Lot Manager explains the violation and immobilization fee (typically $115).
- The Violator has the option to pay with Cash, Visa, or Mastercard.
- Payment is accepted and Violator is informed of the appeal process.
- The "wheel-lock" is removed and the Violator exits the property.
