Parts Town Expands Repair Technology Capabilities With 86 Repairs Acquisition

Parts Town, a FEDA business services member and distributor of OEM replacement parts, has acquired 86 Repairs, a technology solutions provider that helps foodservice operators manage repairs and maintenance.

By automating time-consuming workflows, providing actionable insights, and helping operators better coordinate with service providers, 86 Repairs’ platform helps reduce complexity and lower costs while improving visibility across equipment performance and service activity. Through this acquisition, Parts Town will combine its OEM parts availability with 86 Repairs’ advanced technology and insights, creating a more connected experience that helps operators identify issues earlier and make more informed decisions across their operations.

“Our data shows that equipment downtime remains a critical challenge across the foodservice industry, with many of our customers experiencing unplanned outages on a weekly basis, causing substantial operational disruption and financial impact,” Clint Holder, president of Parts Town, said. “86 Repairs has built an exceptional platform that helps operators simplify the management of repairs and maintenance. Bringing 86 Repairs into the Parts Town family allows us to further invest in technology and artificial intelligence-driven capabilities that reduce friction, improve visibility, and help our customers get equipment back up and running faster than ever.”

By combining Parts Town’s industry relationships, data, and distribution infrastructure with 86 Repairs’ technology platform, the companies will accelerate product development, enhance service levels, and deliver even greater insights to customers. They will also continue to partner with service providers to help streamline communication and provide valuable insights that strengthen relationships with mutual customers.

“We are excited to join the Parts Town team and leverage our combined strengths to support the restaurant industry through innovation and growth,” said Daniel Estrada, CEO of 86 Repairs. “Our mission has always been to make repairs and maintenance easier for operators, helping them reduce complexity and stay focused on serving guests. Together, we can build on that foundation and deliver even greater value to the restaurants and service partners who rely on us every day.”
