Speedemissions, Inc.'s Revolutionary Car Safety App "CARbonga"
Receives Several Upgrades Including Access to 2013 Vehicle History
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Nov 20, 2013) - Speedemissions, Inc.
(OTCQB: SPMI), a leading car care company providing vehicle
emissions testing, safety inspections and light automotive repair
operating 43 stores in the Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis and Salt
Lake City markets and developer of CARbonga, the revolutionary
automobile diagnostic iPhone app, today announced that it has
released upgrades and enhancements to its CARbonga-SRI car safety
app, which is now available at the Apple® App Store.
CARbonga-SRI ("Safety and Recall Information") is the iPhone®
and iPad® app that provides every car owner a quick, easy way to
learn about manufacturer recalls regarding nearly every make and
model car, SUV, pick-up truck or mini-van that's for
sale. Whether a vehicle is sitting on a used car lot or in a
private owner's driveway, in a matter of a few minutes, a
prospective buyer will have immediate access as to whether that
specific model car they are looking to purchase has been recalled
because of a major safety problem.
The enhancements include:
- Vehicle information on recalls and Technical Service Bulletins
for most makes and models produced through 2013
- An upgraded "Push Notification" feature for all manufacturer
recalls and Technical Service Bulletins
- The ability to add/delete an unlimited number of
vehicles.
The CARbonga car safety app is now available in the Apple® app
store for $4.99.
Another buyer advantage is that CARbonga users can even view the
Technical Service Bulletin ("TSB") history. A TSB is the
manner in which the manufacturer advises the dealer there's a
potential mechanical problem from steering mechanics and air bag
functionality to the power train.
In a survey conducted among over 1,365 Speedemissions
customers, nearly two-thirds of the respondents did not know such a
document exists.

According to an NBC News Today Show report earlier this year, of
the over 40 million used cars sold, more than 2 million of those
cars have a mandated safety recall problem that wasn't repaired. In
addition, many of those 40 million vehicles have a mechanical
problem the dealer should have corrected, yet after being sold by
its original owner, the work most likely was never
completed. Cars with significant mechanical (and potentially
life-threatening) problems like brakes that stop working or a
steering mechanism that fails are being sold every day.
Rich Parlontieri, President and CEO of Speedemissions, stated,
"CARbonga-SRI gives a used car buyer the critical information they
need to know to keep their car running safely. The SRI app now
provides a detailed description of the Defect Summary, Consequence
Summary, Corrective Summary and Recall Notes. It makes the buying
decision one that's based on relevant facts, not just emotion.
We're excited about these significant enhancements to CARbonga-SRI.
We believe the added value of the Push Notification, which will
keep car owners informed of the approximately 16.2 million vehicle
recalls last year, in addition to being a critical resource to the
40+ million used car buyers, makes CARbonga-SRI an app that should
be on every iPhone®. We also are planning to make the
CARbonga-SRI available on the Android® operating system in
2014."
"We're committed to continuing to give our customers a reason to
choose Speedemissions as its vehicle emission/safety inspection
retailer. CARbonga-SRI, which could potentially save a life,
is another component of our commitment to offer unique services,
value-added programs and quality products to our clients," added
Parlontieri.
