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've bought 6 vehicles over the years from Suntrup Kia, Hyundai, and Nissan and I've never had a bad experience with the associates or vehicles. They've always been courteous and knowledgeable and always t Hyundai, and Nissan and I've never had a bad experience with the associates or vehicles. They've always been courteous and knowledgeable and always taken care of me. Wouldn't shop for cars anywhere else! Brandon took care of both my and my wife's recent vehicle purchases and did everything he could to make the process as quick and painless as possible. BJ has handled our financing for years now and we always ask for him by name. More

This dealership, like any other organization selling and buying new and used cars, is not without its quirks. For starters, the three cars we found available on the website that motivated us to pay a visit buying new and used cars, is not without its quirks. For starters, the three cars we found available on the website that motivated us to pay a visit, were not there when we arrived. Next, our salesman was new on the job and still learning his role on the team. He was kind, polite and even a bit humorous. He did locate a car for us from a sibling KIA dealership half a state away and got it shipped in for us. The lady working in the finance office, on the other hand, had forgotten entirely that we were the clients. She forgot that our choice of lender superseded her choice of lender on our behalf. We even brought in a letter of pre-approval from our lender which she scoffed at and commented: “Oh, I don’t work with them.” And she proceeded to attempt to get me to sign for a loan from a different bank whose credit offer was .01% better than my lender. .01% is hardly a difference worth switching lenders over! I think I made her very upset when I refused to sign. She kicked us out of her office!! But I did get a copy of my purchase order prior to that eviction. I sent a photo of the document to my lender. He was at the dealership in less than 30 minutes with a check. Funny how that works. Money is money no matter the lender. We drove away 5 hours later in our new car. Were it not for Mark and his kindness, I think we would have walked away from Suntrup without buying a car. More
