Who We Are -

A Local Business That's Been Around Since 1965

Big Bend Auto Center was born of the concept where one person and a passion for all things automotive ignites and combusts, with the community and individual customer’s cars.


It’s literally the small-town dream adapted to the big city: locally-owned, employing people from here, and serving customers who live in the same area we have the business. For us, we feel as lucky as we can get. 


  • Locally owned and operated
  • Highly trained technicians
  • Serving St. Louis since 1965


We Love Cars

Literally. It’s our passion. When the shop closes up, the subject of conversation is always about cars, trucks, engines and transmissions. New type of tire? We’re all over it. Synthetic vs. conventional oil? A regular topic of debate at lunchtime. We’re proud of our automotive passion. And our customers tell us it shows in our work.


  • We love cars
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Car enthusiasts
