Elite Auto Repair & Tire was built on a simple belief. Every driver deserves honest, high-quality automotive care from technicians they can trust. In 2026, owner Tyson Duerrich and his wife Patty proudly took ownership of the longtime Smithfield repair facility formerly known as Quality First Automotive, carrying forward its strong reputation while investing in new technology, improved processes, and an even better customer experience. Tyson brings more than 20 years of hands-on industry experience, having worked as an ASE Master Technician, shop foreman, and operations manager, so when your vehicle comes through our doors, it is in genuinely capable hands.
