Experience the Legacy of the Suntrup Family – proudly serving the St. Louis area since 1957. What began with Bill Suntrup opening the first dealership in the 1960s has blossomed into a multi-generational, family-run automotive empire. Just a decade after Bill launched his first dealership, his brother Don joined him, and together, they laid the foundation for what would become the Suntrup Automotive Group.
Today, the Suntrup name is synonymous with quality and trust. With over 20 family members actively involved, the Suntrup legacy continues to thrive. Bill's sons, Chris and Tom, are partners in Suntrup West County Volvo, with Tom also serving as President and CEO of Suntrup Ford Kirkwood, Suntrup Buick GMC in St. Peters, and Suntrup Ford Westport.
On the other side of the family tree, Don’s children, Butch and Craig, are proud partners in Suntrup Nissan/Volkswagen, Suntrup Kia South, Suntrup Hyundai in South County, and BMW of West St. Louis. As Craig Suntrup reflects, "We all started early in the business, around age 12, doing the grunt work—washing cars, cleaning parts, and painting walls."
The Suntrup family’s commitment to hard work, community, and exceptional service is at the heart of everything we do. We invite you to experience the Suntrup difference—where tradition meets innovation, and every customer is treated like family.

I'm writing to share what a posiotive experience I had yesterday purchasing a used car from Suntrup Kia. David Gavril was my sales professional and he went above and beyond throughout the process. He yesterday purchasing a used car from Suntrup Kia. David Gavril was my sales professional and he went above and beyond throughout the process. He drove me to the service site so that I could drive and evaluate a car in inventory that had not been fully processed for sale. Since I am out of state, that was a huge help for me. He also did his best at arriving at a price that I thought was very fair. I'd also like to thank BJ Bruner in Finance for allowing me to expedite the closing process so that I could drive the car hame that evening. BJ was prompt, very hospitable and an overall pleasure to work with throughout the process. A suggestion for the supervisors of these two individuals: keep them happy so they remain with your firm because they both do a great job! Sincerely, Dan Yasenko More

We have purchased three Kia vehicles from Suntrup. However, the experience I had with service scheduling system and a disappointing conversation with Mr. Rucks, the business manager, has significantly However, the experience I had with service scheduling system and a disappointing conversation with Mr. Rucks, the business manager, has significantly impacted our once-strong customer-dealer relationship. On three separate occasions we scheduled an appointment and my wife brought the car in for scheduled service (45-minute drive) and was told there was no appointment(!) When one of the Kias was stolen, the interaction with Mr. Rucks was far from satisfactory. Instead of addressing my concerns and providing helpful insights, Mr. Rucks adopted a defensive stance and made unsettling remarks that raised serious questions about the professionalism and customer service standards upheld by this dealership. Mr. Rucks dismissed the gravity of the situation, attributing it to media sensationalism, and even went so far as to boast about his ability to steal any car with a screwdriver within 30 seconds. Moreover, when I emphasized the relationship I believed I had with the dealership and my loyalty to the Kia brand, he disassociated himself from representing Kia and conveyed a lack of interest in addressing my concerns. Furthermore, Mr. Rucks shared personal details unrelated to the issue at hand, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere and further diminishing my confidence in the dealership's leadership. The lack of empathy, professionalism, and customer service training exhibited during this encounter has left me deeply disappointed. I am currently in the market for another vehicle but have lost confidence in this vendor to be a provider. More
