Welcome to JustAnswer Mechanical Support!
I am AutoExpert20 and I will be Investigating and Supporting your question today, I may need further information, however, if required I will let you know!
The information initially submitted has assisted me in advising that since this has been repaired by a garage already that you return it to them as the EPC light is electronic power control unit and this may need to be configured to vehicle again or they may have caused the fault when repairing the other faults.
