Smoke blasts from the wheels of a powerful Mustang as professional driver Vaughn Gittin Jr. drifts his screeching muscle car around a tight bend. The car glides and slides across an outdoor parking lot at the Saint Louis Auto Show, while inside, pint-sized guests guide cars through a remote-controlled NASCAR racetrack. Guests can explore a showroom floor of more than 500 vehicles, including top of the line cars, trucks, and SUVs from Chrysler, Cadillac, Toyota, Jeep, and more. The show’s Million Dollar Mile flaunts exotic rides from Maserati, Lamborghini, and Bentley, while the EcoCity area showcases cutting edge electric vehicles. The four day event also features the Pistons and Pearls charity gala, where guests don their finest duds while enjoying unlimited food and drink and vie for a chance to slow dance with St. Louis’ most eligible steering wheels.

At The Dent Devil of St. Louis, highly trained hands scan weathered car and truck surfaces under a specialized light before deftly yet gently evening out any wear and tear. Skilled technicians undo surface dings, hairline cracks, and hail damage without disturbing the original factory paint job, smoothing out auto bodies through inside-out malleting, exterior glue pulling, or telekinesis. The 100% paintless process restores vehicles to their former glory without any unnecessary dismantling, messy sanding, or unsightly patches of putty or after-market paint. As guests relax inside the shop or under an umbrella on the sunny, plant-lined patio, hardworking techs undo dings or upgrade cars with a number of value-added services, including 3M window tinting, windshield repair, detailing, and restoration of foggy headlamps.
