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 got a I can't say enough good things about Chris and this dealership! He is just awesome! He made my first car buying experience super fun and easy. I got a good deal on my trade in along with the new 2013 Toyota Camry that he found for me. It was the exact color and year that I wanted! He made sure that I was taken care of and I appreciate everything he did for me. The dealership and everyone working there are just wonderful. The finance department had me in and out of there in no time! It was overall a great experience and i definitely recommend this dealership and especially Chris Bittick to everyone! More

Kia Sportage Lease Chris and Scott were both awesome! Great guys to deal with. I went in without my husband at first and figured being a woman I would get the run arou Chris and Scott were both awesome! Great guys to deal with. I went in without my husband at first and figured being a woman I would get the run around. They were very respectful and cordial and not pushy---which is important to my husband and I. I was able to drive the car I was looking at for the day and take it home to show my husband. My husband and I were both impressed with the ease of dealing with Scott and Chris and would definitely recommend them to others. I see me being a long term customer. More

Dan Mann Set The Bar of Excellence I drove from Troy, IL after hearing the Suntrup KIA commercial for about two weeks, and hearing the sincerity in Craig Suntrup's voice. Within minute I drove from Troy, IL after hearing the Suntrup KIA commercial for about two weeks, and hearing the sincerity in Craig Suntrup's voice. Within minutes, I recognized Craig's voice ACTUALLY inside the dealership thanking customers and taking a sincere interest in what brought them in to purchase a vehicle. I walked just a few steps farther through the front door and was immediately greeted by Dan Mann. He listened to me for 5 minutes rapidly explain exactly what I wished for and exactly what I needed to do without interrupting me; and was able to diffuse my sense of urgency (which I expected having dealt with other dealerships and sales staff) and walk me directly to my car. Immediately I was put at ease by his sincere Customer Care as well as knowledge of the Suntrup KIA extensive NEW and USED inventory. Dan was with me 100% of the way through the process, and made me feel true respect and trust, much like a long time friend. I knew EXACTLY what I was purchasing and was given options as well as allowed to fully browse any other inventory without being rushed. This was the easiest car buying experience ever. My car is BEST suited car for my family, my budget and my working needs. The entire staff treated my daughter and me with the highest and most sincere attention, care, and respect throughout the process. I have never felt such a warm welcome and appreciation for my business from any one person nor car dealership. I am a part of the Suntrup Family for life as well as a Suntrup Customer. Dan, thank you. I don't have the the words, nor the ability to express my most profound appreciation for YOU and the Suntrup Family. Today was definitely one of the BEST days in a long time. More

First time leasing I appreciate the opportunity to describe the great experience we had at the South county Suntrup Kia location. We were in need of a new car...the old I appreciate the opportunity to describe the great experience we had at the South county Suntrup Kia location. We were in need of a new car...the old Subaru was on its last legs. We heard the Suntrup ad on the radio re the Kia Soul Lease. Dave welcomed us into the dealership, made us feel at home. He is highly knowledgeable about the vehicle and the lease procedure. He changed my stereotyped concept of a car salesman....and he personified the image that is projected in the Suntrup Kia advertisements! And, BJ in the finance department went to great lengths to assist us in finalizing our deal. His efforts were greatly appreciated. One side note...My 17 year old daughter was quite surprised when the owner of the dealership stopped by to shake her hand! More
