Customers also receive detailed video inspections and updates, so they can see what has been found and make informed decisions about their vehicle.

Every build is approached around the owner's goals, whether that is a tough street car, a weekend cruiser, a show car or a competition build. The aim is a package that works as a whole, with drivability, reliability and the right supporting modifications considered from the beginning. Performance customers travel from across Queensland and interstate to have their vehicles built by the Empire team.

​

Empire Auto Garage works with local businesses and fleet operators to keep their vehicles serviced, maintained and on the road.

​

What sets Empire Auto Garage apart?

​

The workshop combines the trust and personal service of a family owned business with modern diagnostics, digital vehicle inspections and a dedicated performance facility. Customers are kept informed throughout and shown what has been found before repairs are carried out. Empire also supplies the parts fitted to customer vehicles, which allows the team to stand behind both the components used and the workmanship involved. The culture is built around long term relationships, and many customers trust the team with multiple family vehicles, work vehicles and performance builds.
