EXPERIENCE MORE AT EMPIRE REPAIR
At Empire Repair, we’re not your typical auto shop. We take pride in using high‑quality oils, filters, and parts that protect your vehicle and save you money over time. Better products mean fewer breakdowns, longer engine life, and more dependable performance on the road. As a local Waverly business, we believe your family, your farm, and your work vehicles deserve the same level of care we’d want for our own. When you choose Empire Repair, you’re choosing long‑term reliability, honest service, and a team that’s committed to doing things the right way.
LOCALLY OWNED, COMMUNITY DRIVEN
Empire Repair proudly continues the same dependable automotive service Waverly received for years from Schmit Automotive. In early 2026, the shop transitioned to new ownership under the name Empire Repair. We will continue to serve the community with the same hometown values, now strengthened by fresh energy and a commitment to giving back to the place we call home.

At Empire Repair, appointments are recommended but, walk‑ins are always welcome. Scheduling ahead helps us reserve time, as well as have parts on hand, for your specific service and ensures the quickest turnaround, but we understand that vehicle issues don’t always happen on a schedule. For walk‑ins, we’ll get your vehicle checked in right away and try to complete the diagnosis or repairs as soon as possible based on our current workload.
