Speedemissions, Inc. Opens 4th Safety & Emissions Store in Greater St. Louis Area

ATLANTA--Speedemissions, Inc., the largest vehicle emissions and safety inspection company in the U.S., announced today that it opened its fourth store in the St. Louis market in June 2009. The Atlanta based company has expanded its “One Stop Safety & Emissions Inspection” model in Glendale, MO. The opening of this store brings to 40, the number of stores owned and operated by Speedemissions in Atlanta, Houston, Salt Lake City and St. Louis.

Rich Parlontieri, President and CEO stated, “We’re pleased to be able to open our fourth St. Louis area store. Since moving into this market in February 2008, reception to our “emission & safety inspection” only model has been very good. Our customers have experienced the “ITS” platform. Which is the way we operate our business. Integrity - we don’t fail a vehicle to up-sell repairs, parts or service. In fact, if a car fails, we provide a free re-test within twenty (20) business days. Time – we have two testing lanes in our stores so there is no waiting for a repair job to finish. Speed – our inspectors only do one thing, test cars. They’re specialists at doing the emission and safety test on every vehicle. These are some of the reasons we do hundreds of thousands of tests in our stores every year.”

Founded in 2001, and operating under the guidelines of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mandated vehicle emission testing program, Speedemissions has built its business on understanding the customers need to save time and feel secure when they get their vehicle’s emission test and safety inspection. The one-stop emission and safety inspection concept has evolved over the past several years. It has become the preferred way to have your car, light truck, SUV or mini-van tested in cities that require both inspections. What this means for the consumer is that they don’t have to make an appointment to have their car inspected, nor do they have to worry about being sold a brake job, a muffler, a transmission or some other costly service they don’t need.

Speedemissions (stock symbol - OTCBB:SPMI) is a publicly traded company. You can learn more about the company and its business model at www.speedemissions.com.
