Smart Care Sweeps Up Another Service Company

Headquartered in Addison, Texas, Turbo Technicians is the largest TurboChef authorized service company in the country, providing oven repair and maintenance to coffee chains, according to a statement from Smart Care.

“Their focus on the rapidly expanding speed oven market provides Smart Care with an opportunity to quickly enhance specialization of this technology and support the growth of Turbo Technicians,” the company said in a statement.

This is Smart Care’s fourth acquisition of a service company in 15 months, bringing Smart Care’s total number of technicians to more than 600 nationwide.

It was purchased by the former CFO of Turbo Chef Cody and Julie Newport in 2017. Cody started as a technician, and was asked to come with the business to help build the business and strengthen the service network.
