Since 2001, Speedemissions has trekked forward in its journey to become one of the largest test-only emissions testing and safety inspection companies in the United States. Today, Speedemissions operates 43 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions and Auto Emissions Express; Mr. Sticker; and Just Emissions.
As a participant in the $2.5 billion market where 87 million vehicles tested annually on emissions quality, Speedemissions maintains its competitive edge by opening new stores and acquiring other retail operations, also adding automotive repair and maintenance services to existing locations.
In June 2010, Speedemissions launched its first proprietary technology application, “CARbonga.” The app diagnoses an automobile’s computer system using the on-board diagnostic port on vehicles that were produced since 1996. CARbonga is designed to provide motorist with easy access to the same diagnostic technology that was previously available only to car repair mechanics and dealerships. The “CARbonga-SRI” app provides car owners with access to any vehicle’s history when it pertains to safety Recall Notices and TSB’s (Technical Service Bulletins) issued by the automobile manufacturer.
Company president and Chief Executive Officer Rich Parlontieri has more than 30 years of business experience, previously serving as chairman and CEO of ebank.com, Inc., which he founded in 1997. He was also co-founder and director of Fayette Community Bancshares, which was sold in 1998 to Birmingham, Ala.-based Regions Financial.
