Excellent Service & Quality of Merchandise
I have always had good experiences at the Suntrup Hyundai., and that is one reason why i went back. Everyone is very kind, and helpful. Brad Slinkard was very nice and took a lot of time with me. He was very patient and willing to show me whatever i wanted, and he also went over many things with me. I never felt rushed. I especially like your warranty program and think you have one of the best. .Your vehicles are made well, and I have had one before, and had a good experience with that. No reason for me to look around, if I am happy with what I can find at your place!

Brett was wonderful! Listened carefully to what I wanted and my price range. He only showed me cars that met my needs, and never tried to pressure me whatsoever. Very personable. Jake, the manager, was great. Joey, who did my paperwork, was so nice. He actually remembered selling my mom a car 3yrs ago! Those guys were wonderful, went so far out of their way to help me and sold me my car in a manner in which no one will forget! Never laughed so much buying a car! Without a doubt, I'll only go there to buy another car when the time comes! 5+ stars

Not sure how your marketing team found me but they should be commended. I had been searching the internet for just the right deal on a used Hyundai from a Hyundai dealer to take advantage of the certified deal. I had found a used 2019 Sonata with 3500 miles in Peoria Illinois and had been negotiating with them. Then out of the blue you guys showed up on the internet with the same car only new. Sent an email to you that evening. Early the next morning your overnight crew contacted and soon after Jake was texting then Caleb. The deal was negotiated and my wife and I were on our way down the next day. Caleb came in on his day off to help us out and provided excellent customer service. Joe was helpful in finance. We were going to go through our bank but he convinced us to use Hyundai. Our search lasted for weeks. We went to several Hyundai dealers and saw and talked to a wide spectrum of sales staff. Your team was several notches above. Thanks for all the good service. Scott and Debbie Erb

I had a fantastic experience buying my new (used) vehicle from Suntrup Hyundai. Brett, Billy, Kyle, and Fred were great to work with.

Billy was told upfront what I wanted in a Tucson. He kept me informed when the "right" Tucson was in their inventory. Explained all about the vehicle-under the hood, dash, buttons, radio, navigation, shifting. The vehicle looks absolutely great, like new and runs great. Thanks for a great experience to buy a car again.

I met my first Hyundai 8 years ago, and I’ve never looked back. A terrific, honest and friendly salesman at Hyundai and Genesis of South County made a great sale. Now I’m driving my second—-an Elantra, and I couldn’t be happier. A satisfying vehicle purchase has two parts. The salesperson and the Service Department. Even after 8 years, I have all my service needs taken care of at Hyundai and Genesis of South County. My Service Adviser Tim McCarthy is second to none when it comes to friendliness and truly listening to the customer. He will cheerfully work at a vehicle problem until it’s fixed. His advise is sound. He stands by the customer. I am pleased that with Tim there is excellent service beyond the sale.

Who thought buying a car could be this easy?
From the very first time I "talked" with Brad I knew I was in good hands. I am a St. Louis native but I currently reside in Springfield, MO. This was the first time I have ever bought a car all online and sight unseen. I had a situation come up where I needed a car immediately. I went on their website and already had an idea of the car I wanted when I reached out to Brad. COVID-19 has made purchasing a car difficult enough and add to that me being physically so far away. I wasn't sure we would be able to accomplish this and especially with my tight timeline. Brad was so reassuring and knowledgeable. I had my eye on the Ioniq but I knew little about Hybrids. Brad made me feel comfortable with the technology and the process. He just made me feel like it was going to be ok! During the entire process, he stayed in close contact with me and even sent me little videos updating me on the status. I really appreciated that! He really went to bat for me and in the end, I got the deal I was looking for. I had a co-signer which did complicate things. Brad made sure it was all organized and scheduled so that all the paperwork could be signed by both of us with no issues. We even experienced a death in our family during this process and he was so kind and caring he really started to feel like family! I highly recommend Brad for all of your car needs. Fred made the financial side of things a seamless process. My co-signer was able to sign everything and I signed it all when they delivered my car to Springfield. Yes! They delivered my car to me!!! I drive a lot of miles and Fred added in a service contract that will protect me in the higher miles while still keeping my payment within the range I needed it. I highly recommend Suntrup and especially Brad for all of your car purchasing needs.

amazing service from a dedicated, knowledgeable sales man
we were very pleased with David when we bought our Sante Fe Hyndai. he was very knowledgeable and showed us all of the available options. He did not rush us and even stayed over his work hours to accommodate us!!! We wish that we would have bought all of our vehicles from a smalesman like this. He definitely has us as a customer for life. Thank you David and thank you Hyndai for hiring such an amazing person to represent your dealership.

Very happy with my new car!
Chelsea is a hard worker and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. She sat in the car with me and reviewed all the features. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The only downside to buying the car is it seemed to take a long time. I got to the dealership around 3:30 ready to negotiate and after all was completed, I got home a little after 9pm. All in all, I’m am super pleased with my car!

My 2015 Genesis had some electrical problems. I had purchased a Warranty Package when I purchased the car. It turned out that the “wiring harnesses “ needed replacing. This was covered per my package because I had purchased the +(plus) package. Of course the insurer didn’t want to make things easy because of the cost (more than the cost of the warranty), but Jordan stuck with it and got everything covered.
