That app was followed up with CARbonga-SRI, a revolutionary iPhone app that provides details about a car’s safety recall status and technical services bulletins. Most recently, they have been piloting an emissions repair model that has lead to re-branding the company with two new brands: Expresso Emissions and Expresso Car Care Café. The names, logo design and store were just introduced in mid- January. In addition, they just signed a joint venture, Retail Vehicle Registration, to provide the consumer with an easy way to renew their vehicle registration without the hassle of a DMV.
