ATLANTA, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC.BB SPMI). A new
mobile app, CARbonga SRI provides a quick and easy way for
consumers to monitor the safety of their vehicle by providing the
most current recalls and service bulletins—instantly. CARbonga SRI
can even be set up to send "push notifications" which alert users
whenever a new service bulletin has been issued for their
vehicle.
Vehicle safety recalls can literally mean the difference between
life and death. Missing just one Technical Service Bulletin can put
drivers and their passengers at dire risk. But unless the vehicle
owner is the original purchaser of the vehicle, he or she will not
be notified by the dealer who sold the car nor, necessarily, by his
or her mechanic the next time they visit the garage for
service.
"Anyone who owns a used vehicle, is shopping for a used
vehicle—especially on foot—or has lost contact with the auto
dealer, would benefit from this app," says Speedemissions
President/CEO Rich Parlontieri about
CARbonga. "It's mobile, in real time, accurate, instantly
accessible and available at your fingertips."
Service bulletins can be accessed by websites such as the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration but none are instant
or have the capability to notify vehicle owners when a new bulletin
is issued. Once users enter their vehicle's make, model and year
into CARbonga SRI during setup, recall notices can be automatically
sent to the user.
Used car dealers can benefit by using CARbonga SRI as an added
sales tool by now being able to instantly give any potential buyer
technical details whether the specific make or model a customer
likes, has had a recall or TSB issues.
CARbonga SRI today works on the iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®, is
currently available in the App Store for $1.99 and requires no cable or additional third
party hardware to utilize the app. By late-October CARbonga-SRI
will be available on the Android smart phones as well.
