Kai was helpful and professional - he had even taken the time to respond to me on a Sunday to get as much information going as possible. AJ was great, I was able to get the car at a great price and even mor time to respond to me on a Sunday to get as much information going as possible. AJ was great, I was able to get the car at a great price and even more protection for myself and the vehicle. After the sale, I was reviewing the paperwork and was extremely unhappy because I was not fully understanding the numbers (I had my wife and kids there and a lot was going on) and out of a lack of understand wrote a poor review. AJ called me the next day and re-walked me through the numbers again and made sure I understood the actual deal I got. I have a lot of respect for that - so in turn I am changing my review. More

My Title application which we have called about several times and nobody has called us back. The net price is incorrect, should be $19,005. I called the DMV in Jeff City about it and was told they tax on times and nobody has called us back. The net price is incorrect, should be $19,005. I called the DMV in Jeff City about it and was told they tax on the actual net price, so this must be changed. I was also told that I must bring the old title with me. I was never given one! I won’t do business with a dealership that ignores the many phone calls and never returns the calls or takes care of the two problems I’m left with. More

Buying my VW Tiguan from Suntrup was the absolute best car-buying experience I've ever had! I had been shopping the VW brand for over a year, so I was happy to finally find one that I thought I might lo car-buying experience I've ever had! I had been shopping the VW brand for over a year, so I was happy to finally find one that I thought I might love. I was able to start the process at home by shopping and getting my approval online. Once I got to the dealership for my test drive appointment, Kai already had the SUV ready and waiting. While waiting for the paperwork to be prepared, which didn't take long at all, I had the chance to meet other people of the Suntrup team and they were very nice and friendly. Overall, it was just a great experience! I love my Tiguan and I'm glad that I chose Suntrup over other VW dealers! More
