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.

BUYER BEWARE! !!!!!!!!!!! I put a $1k deposit on a used trade-in vehicle that I test drove. I pointed out that the AC system would need to be repaired before purch !!!!!!!!!!! I put a $1k deposit on a used trade-in vehicle that I test drove. I pointed out that the AC system would need to be repaired before purchasing and I was assured by the salesman Dzenis that this was no big deal and would be an easy repair. After further inspection by the dealership, I was informed 4 days after making my deposit that the price of this used vehicle was increased by $1500 to cover the additional repairs that were overlooked during the trade-in inspection. I was told by the sales manager Rod that this vehicle would be wholesaled if I didn't want to pay the additional $1500 for repairs. This vehicle is still listed for sale on their website but the list price is now $1500 more than the original list price. This was my first experience with Suntrup and definitely my last. My intention is to warn as many other local car buyers of their shady business practice. And it looks like I am not the only one after reading so many other negative reviews posted recently. More

While at the dealership the sales environment was great. However, my sales person was not. There were conversations had that weren’t added as part of the purchase agreement.

First the car was listed at a lower price the day of sale than what I was charged and the sales agent said there was no way to honor that price. Secondly, I asked to wrap sales tax into the price of the loan similar to the pre-qualification I received before contacting the dealership and that was not upheld either. I was told that conversation was never had. I then called the dealership about it and was told my two option were to give the car back or pay the sales tax out of pocket. More

I wouldn't recommend this dealership to a dead person. The purchasing process was regular nothing special.

I purchased a vehicle back in march of 2024, sadly it was totaled out a few months later but I purchased gap insurance and warranties through them. Great right? NOOOOOOO!!! These people have taken well over a month to help me get what paperwork I needed to get the lender paid on from the gap portion and STILL after calling, emailing, and making 2 trips out of my way to just get some answers I don't have the warranty portion paid costing me hundreds of dollars on still having to pay my previous car note along with getting threatened that my new car loan may be revoked for not having full payment on the last one. If I could give them a negative star rating I would! More

Easton was very patient with us and helped explain several financial options while we were looking at vehicles. He was straightforward, explained our options well, and we never felt rushed or pressure several financial options while we were looking at vehicles. He was straightforward, explained our options well, and we never felt rushed or pressured. Once we made our decision he worked to get us the vehicle as quickly as possible. Jarrod helped us knock out the financing quickly, but still explained everything thoroughly. We appreciated that he took time to answer questions and make the financing process as painless as possible. Both Easton and Jarrod were friendly and professional, and they represented Suntrup Kia well. Because of them, we will strongly consider buying our next vehicle from Suntrup Kia South. More

Very happy with our car! A hitch cover came off in cleaning before we took possession and we found it a little strange that they weren’t real worried about making sure it is A hitch cover came off in cleaning before we took possession and we found it a little strange that they weren’t real worried about making sure it is replaced. There is an active recall too that instead of making sure it was taken care of, it was put in us to schedule. David was easy to work with, we didn’t feel pressured into buying. He was good with the kids and was able to answer all car related questions. More
