Ed Napleton Honda in Oak Lawn
Oak Lawn, IL
1,511 Reviews
Edward W. Napleton, opened his first automotive business in 1931 on Chicago's South Side. With a $700 loan, a strong work ethic and a belief in common courtesy, he opened the Napleton Buick Service Station. Francis Napleton, Edward's son, was by his side to help foster the growth of the young business in its early years.
Napleton's first dealership was a DeSoto franchise, and when that brand was discontinued with little warning, Napleton quickly aligned itself with another Chrysler nameplate, Plymouth, eventually being awarded several additional franchises. Edward and Francis both believed in hard work and exceptional customer service, values that they passed down to the next generation of Napletons. Five of Francis' eight children have worked in the auto business their entire lives.
Edward F. ("Ed") Napleton, Francis' son, is a third-generation auto dealer. He began his career as a kid sweeping the floors at the dealership owned by his father and grandfather. He moved up the ranks, serving as a technician, then in sales and finance, and eventually as a general manager. At just 23 years of age, Ed became the youngest car dealer in the United States when he was awarded a Pontiac dealership in Blue Island, Illinois.
Today the Napleton Family operates more than 50 dealerships in four states. What started as a small family-owned business has blossomed into one of the most forward-thinking dealership groups in the country.
Ed's business has grown to include 31 franchises - housed in 15 different locations - in three states. He owns domestic, import and high line franchises, and employs more than 1000 people throughout Illinois, Florida and Missouri. Four of Ed's five children have proudly joined him in pursuing the family business and have a hand in the company's day-to-day operations.

Our latest experience with Napleton Honda easily explains why we keep going back there for our auto needs. Steve Ignowski was amazingly helpful as far as working out the details of what we wanted and how it why we keep going back there for our auto needs. Steve Ignowski was amazingly helpful as far as working out the details of what we wanted and how it fit in our budget. You could not possibly have a better person in his position. We had the same positive experience with Frank Alramli, our salesman, and Nick Samham, the finance director. Everyone was very helpful and curteous and most importantly did NOT make us feel like they were a bunch of guys just trying to make a sale. We were also happy with the individual who showed us alot of the technical details of the car once the purchase was complete. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name, but he also was very helpful. I can not imagine us ever buying another car from any where else. More
