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.

"Out of His Way" Service Daren knew what inventory was there and after listening to my list of must haves, immediately knew which car was my car. He then went out of his way Daren knew what inventory was there and after listening to my list of must haves, immediately knew which car was my car. He then went out of his way to track it down. He was extremely helpful in answering questions and helping us compare other vehicles we had looked at previously. I would definitely buy a car again at Suntrup Kia South and when I do, I'm buying it from Daren. More

I didn't feel super pushed into buying a car. Kelly answered all of my questions without hesitation even though I didn't buy a car right there and then. Thank you Kelly for your help with that.

Our new to us family vehicle My spouse and I were ready to get a new to us family vehicle with low miles and a price that wouldn’t break the bank. To our surprise we stoped in at My spouse and I were ready to get a new to us family vehicle with low miles and a price that wouldn’t break the bank. To our surprise we stoped in at Suntrup Kia and Cory showed us this 2014 Ford Focus with low miles and the perfect price stamp. Cory was very easy to talk to which made the entire car buying process easy to do. It was also nice that they had popcorn and a tv area so our son was entertained while we signed all the paperwork. Julie from accounting was also very nice and easy to talk to when finalizing the paperwork. Over all my family and I are pleased with our new to us car. :) More

Sub-optimum credit not welcome here Salesman was pushy trying to get me to buy. Communicated mostly through email. Quoted me multiple different monthly payment options but wouldn't answe Salesman was pushy trying to get me to buy. Communicated mostly through email. Quoted me multiple different monthly payment options but wouldn't answer me when I asked how much that made the car total or how much the interest rate was. Turns out I wasn't approved yet but they led me to believe I was. They completely disappeared and didn't answer emails, texts or calls the next day. Finally I got someone on the phone and they said their email to me must not have sent and that they had trouble getting me approved. Offered a much higher payment on an older much cheaper car. I declined and went elsewhere. Got a good deal on a newer model with low miles. More

3rd KIA purchase from Suntrup. Repeat Customer!! Excellent car buying experience. From the minute I walked in the door, to the final handshake before driving off the lot, I was not disappointed. This Excellent car buying experience. From the minute I walked in the door, to the final handshake before driving off the lot, I was not disappointed. This is my 3rd Kia bought from Suntrup, but my 4th vehicle purchased from Suntrup. When you stop in to purchase your new KIA, ask for Cory Paton. I think he could make the car buying experience alot less annoying for you. Thanks guys!! The KIA Rio is amazing!! More

I used to really drea I just bought my 2nd Kia Optima from the dealership (lease was up and purchased a new one), and each experience has been great. I used to really dread the car buying experience, but not with these guys. I really enjoyed dealing with both Dan Mann and finance manager, Julie Hallett. Service area is top notch as well. They have all been very good people to work with and I highly recommend this dealership. More
