A Higher Standard of Safety — For Our Team and Your Vehicle
Empire Repair is part of Crown Companies, a local family of eight Nebraska businesses united by a shared commitment to quality, integrity, and community. That affiliation gives us access to safety leadership and resources most independent shops simply don't have.
Our shop operates under the guidance of a Crown Companies Safety Director with OSHA 500 Certification — the highest level of OSHA safety training available. Every Monday morning, our entire team gathers for a meeting that includes a dedicated safety segment, keeping standards high before the first car of the week rolls in.
For you, that means your vehicle is in the hands of a team that is trained, prepared, and held to a consistent standard every single day.
