About Our Auto Repair Shop in Smithfield, NC  

A Legacy of Honest Service, Rebuilt with Purpose  

How Elite Auto Repair & Tire Came to Serve Smithfield  

Elite Auto Repair & Tire was built on something the automotive industry doesn’t always get right: honesty. Owner Tyson Duerrich brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience to every vehicle that comes through the doors, having worked his way through the industry as an ASE Master Technician, shop foreman, and operations manager. In 2026, Tyson and his wife Patty made a meaningful decision to purchase the longtime Smithfield repair facility formerly known as Quality First Automotive, continuing a tradition of dependable service that the community had already come to rely on. While the name has changed to Elite Auto Repair & Tire, the commitment to treating every customer with respect and transparency has only grown stronger. You can find the team at 953 N Brightleaf Blvd, Smithfield, NC 27577, ready to help Mon – Fri: 8AM – 5:30PM.  

The Expertise Behind Every Repair  

What separates Elite Auto Repair & Tire from a standard repair shop is the depth of experience that walks through the door every morning. Tyson’s background as an ASE Master Technician means he understands not just how to fix a problem, but how to identify the root cause before it becomes a larger, more expensive issue. The shop retained the experienced technicians who already knew the Smithfield community, while investing in updated diagnostic technology, improved processes, and a better overall customer experience. Whether you drive a domestic truck, an Asian import, or a European vehicle, the team has the training and equipment to handle your specific make and model with confidence. When you call (919) 989-0050 to schedule an appointment, you’re connecting with a team that genuinely cares about getting your vehicle back on the road safely.

Elite Auto Repair & Tire proudly serves drivers throughout Smithfield, Selma, Clayton, Four Oaks, Princeton, Benson, and the surrounding Johnston County area. The shop’s typical customers are families, commuters, retirees, working professionals, and small business owners who depend on their vehicles every single day. Tyson and Patty understand that reliability isn’t just a feature of a well-maintained car; it’s something your repair shop should provide as well. That means clear explanations of recommended repairs, digital inspection reports so you can see exactly what’s going on with your vehicle, and honest guidance rather than upselling. The goal has always been to build lasting relationships, not just complete transactions. That philosophy is woven into everything the team does.
