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, Suntrup Hyundai, 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.

Service Department sucks I would not recommend the service department to a dead fly. The think women are dumb and talk down to you. I took my car in today with a appointment I would not recommend the service department to a dead fly. The think women are dumb and talk down to you. I took my car in today with a appointment to have them look at a noise coming from my rear end. I explained in detail what and how it was doing it. Brain comes back to me after about 45 min and says they can not find a thing wrong with my car after they drove it. He also told me he was so short stuff that he could not send someone on a test time with me to let them hear the noise. I told him I was not stupid and left. I drove my car down the street not even a mile and I will be xxxx it did it again. I drove back to the dealer and asked for a manger, spoke with Dave to witch he talked down to me also. He said there was a rubber flap on the back of my car the was making the noise and they could be WD-40 on it to make it stop the noise, I left. I called their number and asked to speak to the top person, was told that was Elliot. Well I am still waiting for that call. This is not the first time Brain has talked down to me about my car, but it will be the last time. I was even told at 10,000 mile by Brain that my air filter needed changed, when I took it from him and held it up to the light you could still see light through the filter. This service department is SUCK!!! More

Crooks Took vehicle in for oil change. Was told about this new machine that can check your vehicle's alignment by just driving through it. Just had tires a Took vehicle in for oil change. Was told about this new machine that can check your vehicle's alignment by just driving through it. Just had tires and alignment done somewhere else in November, so there shouldn't be a problem. They call me and tell me that the front is aligned perfectly but the back is out. They want $99 for an alignment. I asked them to double check. They call back and tell me that there is no way any one could have aligned the front tires because the front ball joints, on a scale of 1-10 are a 10. They won't even pass inspection, but the magical alignment machine said they were perfectly aligned. They quoted me 3 prices, $682-$945 for front ball joints. I told them not to do it. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and watched him check the ball joints. No movement in them at all! Nothing wrong! Guess that's what happens when you go at the end of the month. Sales must have been down and they thought they could get me. Probably would have told me that my floor mats were out of alignment too. Last year they dropped something on the bumper of my vehicle and then denied it and would not repair it. More

He was professional and courteous the entire visit. When told my daughter was buying her first car he immediately started addressing her and her wants and desires in a vehicle. I was highly impressed. He treated her like his own granddaughter. He listened and helped her find the perfect car. Thank you Daren, you are exactly what she needed for her first experience in buying her first car. More
