Speedemissions Same Store Tests in Atlanta Increase 5.3% in 2006 - Outpaces Overall Atlanta Market By 50%
ATLANTA--Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPMI), a leading vehicle emissions testing/safety inspections test company announced its same store tests in Atlanta increased 5.3% in 2006, while the Atlanta vehicle emission testing market grew 2.5% in 2006.
Speedemissions Atlanta emission testing stations in 2006 clearly reflect the steps management began implementing in mid 2005 when it comes to store operations. Building on the company’s “meet and greet” customer service philosophy, along with the improving the curb appeal of many of its stores, the number of tests increased steadily. Especially when measured against the number of same store tests conducted in greater Atlanta in 2006 versus 2005.
Rich Parlontieri, President/CEO of Speedemissions added, “The Atlanta same store test numbers bode well for the company in 2007. They indicate that our commitment to friendlier, faster service with employees who are dedicated to providing customer satisfaction and making our stores more attractive is paying off. That is more emission tests being done every day.”
