    ATLANTA (Nov. 22, 2013) — Speedemissions Inc. has upgraded its CARbonga-SRI car safety iPhone app to include recall and technical service bulletin information for most makes and models produced through 2013.

    CARbonga-SRI (Safety and Recall Information) is an iPhone and iPad app that provides car owners a quick, easy way to learn about manufacturer recalls regarding nearly every make and model car, SUV, pick-up truck or mini-van, according to its developer, Speedemissions of Atlanta.

    . The enhancements include:

    • Vehicle information on recalls and Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for most makes and models produced through 2013.
    • An upgraded "push notification" feature for all manufacturer recalls and TSB.
    • The ability to add/delete an unlimited number of vehicles.

    Speedemissions said another buyer advantage is that CARbonga users can even view the 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.

    The updated CARbonga-SRI app is now available at the Apple App Store for $4.99.

    "The SRI app now provides a detailed description of the defect summary, consequence summary, corrective summary and recall notes, said Rich Parlontieri, president and CEO of Speedemissions.

    "It makes the buying decision one that's based on relevant facts, not just emotion."

    Mr. Parlontieri said the company believes the added value of the Push Notification 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."

    He said the company is planning to make the CARbonga-SRI available on the the Android operating system in 2014.

    Those interested can view samples of recall information and TSB information at CARbonga's facebook page.
