Buying my VW Tiguan from Suntrup was the absolute best car-buying experience I've ever had! I had been shopping the VW brand for over a year, so I was happy to finally find one that I thought I might lo car-buying experience I've ever had! I had been shopping the VW brand for over a year, so I was happy to finally find one that I thought I might love. I was able to start the process at home by shopping and getting my approval online. Once I got to the dealership for my test drive appointment, Kai already had the SUV ready and waiting. While waiting for the paperwork to be prepared, which didn't take long at all, I had the chance to meet other people of the Suntrup team and they were very nice and friendly. Overall, it was just a great experience! I love my Tiguan and I'm glad that I chose Suntrup over other VW dealers! More

I absolutely hate hate hate car buying and already had a negative experience from the Auffenberg dealership close to my house. Thankfully I came to Suntrup where I dealt with Kai. First, he actually showed negative experience from the Auffenberg dealership close to my house. Thankfully I came to Suntrup where I dealt with Kai. First, he actually showed me the cars I was interested in. He did not man splain nor ask me numerous times where my husband was. Kai also did not pressure me whatsoever. It was a great experience. I am very happy with my new TAOS. And, when I realized I left items in the car I traded in, Kai bagged them up nicely for me. He even put the bumperdillo and license plate holder on my car as well. Good customer service makes such a difference and I am happy to send Kai and Suntrup recommendations. More

I was really interested in the Tiguan R-Line and once I seen it and test drove it I knew I had to have it. The sales managers worked their butt's off to make it happen for me and I couldn't be more grateful! This is my third car bought from Suntrup Automotive Group and they make sure I am taken care of every time! Thanks so much for making my dreams come true! More
