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.

I was ready to purchase a 2027 Telluride with a loan preapproval back in May. I knew exactly what I wanted and was ready to order. They did not seem to want to order it for me. I found another dealer preapproval back in May. I knew exactly what I wanted and was ready to order. They did not seem to want to order it for me. I found another dealer that had the exact one I wanted. I contacted Rod about a dealer transfer and it took days for him to respond. By the time he responded, I went to the other dealer and purchased direct from them. More

We had a great experience with Suntrup Kia South, especially working with Kris Portnoy. From the first time we met Kris about three weeks ago to shaking hands and driving off in our new Telluride X-x especially working with Kris Portnoy. From the first time we met Kris about three weeks ago to shaking hands and driving off in our new Telluride X-xxxxxx-Prestige yesterday, everything just felt easy and straightforward. We took our time with the decision—came in more than once, asked a lot of questions, and test drove the model we were interested in—and Kris was patient and helpful through all of it. We never felt rushed or pressured at any point. Kris was easy to work with—knowledgeable, patient, and never pushy. He answered all our questions, kept us in the loop, and gave us plenty of time to make decisions without any pressure. What stood out most to us was how smooth the whole process was. There were no surprises or games—just honest communication and a fair deal. We left feeling really good about the purchase and who we bought from. We’d definitely recommend Kris and Suntrup Kia South to anyone in the market. More
