KAINOA(Client Advisor/Sales Rep), Beau(Manager) and AJ (Finance Manager) really were all so amazing. I had an appointment with Kainoa and was immediately attentive and had my car interest pulled up ready (Finance Manager) really were all so amazing. I had an appointment with Kainoa and was immediately attentive and had my car interest pulled up ready for me to test drive it. He was knowledgeable about the car, its features and throughly explained differences in car model options. I was a little nervous going through the process of purchasing but Kainoa often encouraged me through it and did his best to work with the manager Beau to fit within my budget. Beau was kind and did what he could to work through details of the paperwork. Once it was sent to the financial manager AJ their consistent effort to help flowed. AJ really worked through details and explained what needed to get the appropriate payment amount. I am so grateful to the Suntrup Volkswagen team for bringing relief & peace to a stressful situation. I highly recommend Kainoa for your car needs! More

My wife and I had been car shopping all day. Suntrup was going to be the final stop of the day before we made a decision. I was blown away with Kainoas amazing customer friendly salesmanship. We Suntrup was going to be the final stop of the day before we made a decision. I was blown away with Kainoas amazing customer friendly salesmanship. We test drove 3 different vehicles and he made sure we knew everything we needed to know about each one. The rest of the team was very friendly and made the experience fun. I normally dread car shopping, but I am so happy we chose Suntrup for our next family vehicle. Thanks again Kai for all of your expertise. I will always refer anyone to Suntrup! More

Suntrup has made buying a used car quite the customer experience. Kai was great to work with and made sure all items were addressed and his communication was next level. The lifetime powertrain warra experience. Kai was great to work with and made sure all items were addressed and his communication was next level. The lifetime powertrain warranty on a used vehicle certainly gives me a sense of confidence in buying used. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a higher end used SUV. More
