Body Work: Restoring Glory

Your car’s, truck’s, and van’s body takes a lot of punishment, especially after a fender bender or accident. Daily dings, punishing weather, bumps, rocks, hail, and daily punishment, and more can damage your auto’s beautiful body and age your car.

You already know we're your trusted destination for the best auto maintenance and repair services, but you might not know that we also do bodywork at a very competitive price.

Here are just a few of your bodywork needs that we can help with:

Dent repair – Removing dents and dings from doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods and roofs, often using paintless dent repair when the paint is undamaged.

Scratch and paint repair – Fixing scratches, chips, peeling paint and scuffs and blending new paint into surrounding panels.

Bumper repair or replacement – Repairing cracked, scraped or dented plastic bumpers or replacing them when damage is too extensive.

Fender repair or replacement – Fixing damage caused by parking-lot accidents, collisions and impacts or installing a replacement fender.

Door repair – Repairing dents, creases and collision damage to doors, including replacing damaged door skins or entire doors.
Quarter-panel repair – Repairing damage around the rear wheel wells and quarter panels, which can require pulling, cutting or welding.

Hood repair or replacement – Fixing dents and collision damage or replacing a hood that cannot economically be repaired.
Collision damage repair – Restoring vehicles after accidents, including straightening panels, repairing structural components and replacing damaged body parts.

Rust repair – Removing rust and repairing or replacing corroded metal, particularly around wheel wells, rocker panels, doors and quarter panels.

Glass, trim and body-component replacement – Replacing damaged mirrors, grilles, headlights, taillights, moldings, emblems and other exterior components.

Now, more than ever, and with high new car prices, it’s important to keep your car running and looking like new. Cyclone Car Care can help. Call us today at (314) 843-3900 and schedule an estimate, and get that body back in shape.

Your St. Louis RV Repairs Destination

Owning an RV and hitting the open road to explore the US is a dream for many Americans. Owning and maintaining an RV, however, is not always a dream. Every RV is different, but every RV requires routine maintenance and occasional unexpected repairs.

Cyclone Car Care, the same place you already trust with your car, truck, van, and fleet, is also the place you can rely on for RV repairs. In addition to being skilled mechanics, we are also RV owners and road trippers.

Here are just a few of the things we can help you with:

Electrical problems — Dead batteries, blown fuses, faulty converters, damaged wiring and malfunctioning outlets can affect everything from lights to appliances.

Cab-only HVAC repairs — Keep your RV’s AC running cool. We can diagnose, maintain and repair your cab’s AC.

Brake and suspension repairs — Trailer brakes, wheel bearings, shocks, springs and suspension components require regular inspection and maintenance, especially on heavily used RVs.

Tire problems — RV tires can deteriorate from age, underinflation, overloading and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Tire replacement is often necessary before the tread appears worn.

Regular inspections and preventative maintenance can catch many of these problems before they become costly repairs. Before you hit the open road, have it checked out. Call Karen at (314) 843-3800 and schedule your RV maintenance and repairs today.

Shocking!

Few of us give much thought to our car's shocks and struts until they get worn or start to fail.

How do you know when you need new shocks or struts?

Well, most mechanics will tell you that they need to be replaced between 75,000-100,000 miles, but not always. Unlike oil changes and brake pads, there are no truly accurate interval estimates. Road conditions (Missouri potholes), vehicle weight, and driving habits are the real determining factors when it comes to shock and strut wear. Still, the 75,000-100,000 range is a good rule of thumb.

What are some signs that your shocks and struts may be failing or worn:

Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
The car dives forward when braking
Nose rises noticeably during acceleration
Excessive body roll around corners
Vehicle feels floaty or unstable at highway speeds
Clunking or knocking from the suspension
Uneven or cupped tire wear
Fluid leaking from a shock or strut
Steering that feels less precise

Should you replace shocks and struts in pairs?

Yes, generally. If one front strut is worn out, it's normally smart to replace both front struts. The same applies to rear shocks. That keeps the suspension characteristics reasonably balanced from side to side. You don't necessarily need to replace all four at once, though.

We are still offering FREE labor on all shock and strut replacements.

Please book your appointment on our website, call (314) 843-3800, or come by to schedule your service.

We’ve noticed a few auto centers in Webster Groves, Affton, and Marlborough, as well as local chains, listing “specials” on synthetic blend and fully synthetic oil changes. Our current price for a synthetic blend oil change is only $22.99. The closest competitor is currently advertising $49.99!

And, if you need a full synthetic oil change (up to 5 quarts & new filter), we’re charging $61.99, and the nearest competitor is charging $89.99 for the same thing! Why pay $28.00 more for the same thing? That’s nearly the price of a tank of gas or a lunch for two.

The main difference between synthetic blend and full synthetic motor oil is the composition of the base oil. A synthetic blend combines or blends conventional petroleum-based oil with synthetic oil. It offers better protection, high-temperature performance, and cold-weather flow than conventional oil, while generally costing less than full synthetic.

Full synthetic oil uses a fully synthetic base formulation and is engineered for more demanding conditions. It typically provides better resistance to heat breakdown, improved cold-start flow, better protection against deposits and sludge, and more consistent performance over time. It is especially common—and sometimes required—in modern turbocharged, high-performance, and tightly engineered engines.

No matter whether you drive a BMW, Audi, Toyota, or a Ford or Chevy Truck, scheduled oil changes can extend the life and improve the performance of whatever you drive.

Cyclone Car Care can help you keep your car running longer, and regular oil changes are a great way to extend your car’s life. Schedule your oil change on our website, call Karen at (314) 843-3800, or drop by, and we’ll try to get you in and out.
