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.

My car's engine started vibrating, and we took it in right away. Brian Richter was assigned our service advisor. We received a text from Kenny, the tech, who sent a video explaining what he had done an right away. Brian Richter was assigned our service advisor. We received a text from Kenny, the tech, who sent a video explaining what he had done and what tests he felt were still needed. Immediately after watching the video, Brian sent us an estimate for an $8700 engine rebuild, citing an 'internal issue'. Given that Kenny had said that they were still diagnosing the problem, the estimate seemed premature and we called to ask about this. Brian said, "I told Kenny not to tell you that." What? Why? Brian insisted that the part Kenny described was not the problem and that he would be lying to me if he let me believe it was. So what IS the problem, then? Have we identified the point of failure or not? He didn't have an answer; he just kept repeating that he would be lying to us if he let us believe a full engine replacement wasn't needed. I was very angry. Nothing about that sounded on-the-level to me. I handed off the phone to my husband, who was much calmer than I was, but Brian hung up on us. An hour or so later he texted that they were going to replace the 'balancer' and get back to me. We told him to please just reassemble our engine and let us come get it. We're not under warranty, so we will go somewhere else. Despite the sound coming from the engine, the engine light had not turned on when we dropped it off. When we picked it up, the sound was louder and the engine light was on. Thanks, Suntrup! This is our second bad experience with Suntrup's service team; the first was relatively minor and we assumed it was a fluke. Now I feel like there's no way I can trust Suntrup Kia's service team to work with us in good faith. More

He was able to answer all of our so even us as boomers could make sense of it. He walked us through the whole process and turned it into a pleasant experience. Would recommend him and Suntrup to everyone. Randy and Ann Schwartz More
