I have been helping people obtain their wants and needs for over 50 years and enjoy the excitement and fun it can bring into their lives. The last 33 of those years in the automobile business with this same company. I enjoy the technology in these new cars and can assist in your understanding them. I am involved in my church and I have been their choir director for over 25 years. I am also an active musician that plays trumpet on and off throughout those same years. I have two grown children and two grandchildren. Besides my music I enjoy many outdoor activities including golf, swimming, biking and long walks.

I've Rick Van Pelt. His strong customer service orientation, his dedication and care for his clients, and his integrity all contribute to the rating. I've been buying vehicles from first Toyota then Lexus from Rick for over 36 years. I have recommended numerous friends and relatives to seek out Lexus of Naperville and Rick for their needs. The reason is I can be assured they too will be well serviced with great customer care, integrity in the purchasing process and strong service in follow up. I also do all my service thru Lexus of Naperville having been supported by Rick and taken care of by Michael Pirelli. Like Rick in sales, Michael is similar in service. I Always ask for Michael to take care of my service appointments. More

Rick Van Pelt is by far the best person I have ever worked with - not just for buying a car, but for personal interaction and a down to earth, real discussion about the investment of an automobile. Ric worked with - not just for buying a car, but for personal interaction and a down to earth, real discussion about the investment of an automobile. Rick is always truthful and straightforward, never sugar coats anything because in the end, we don't like the stuffy sales approach. He is professional, courteous, and listens to the customer closely to align what you are looking for and to put you in the best solution for your needs, wants, and best use of your money. I cannot recommend both Rick and Lexus of Naperville enough. Thank you again, Rick! More
