Ed Napleton Honda in Oak Lawn
Oak Lawn, IL
1,501 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.

After a brief conversation, Eli met us outside and immediately showed me exactly what I asked for. We were able to test drive the cars in which I had the most interest quickly. I was also given some time to converse with my dad in between drives. I appreciated Eli for his direct, real, and timely work he did with us. He was honest with all the facts and allowed me to make my own decision. Later, Tony Chippas helped me to secure a good price for the car. I am very happy with my 2016 Hyundai Elantra! Thanks Ed Napelton Honda! More

Out Of State Car Purchase Highly recommended. Found my vehicle online (and out of state) which pointed me to Ed Napleton. Tony, Stephen and Frank were all very personal and pr Highly recommended. Found my vehicle online (and out of state) which pointed me to Ed Napleton. Tony, Stephen and Frank were all very personal and professional. While I considered the purchase, Stephen offered to take live video of any part of the vehicle so that I could feel comfortable (pre travel) looking at anything not covered in the online pictures. I flew in from Ga - they picked me up at the airport and had everything ready to go upon my arrival. For an out of state purchase, these guys made it seamless and stress free. More

They did everything to help me get the vehicle I wanted at the price I wanted. The internet price was the true listed price no BS. I had a trade in and they even gave me what I wanted for that. Seriously this is by far the best dealership around. I had an issue with my title on my trade in and these guys didn’t care. They were all about customer service and their coffee/latte machine is pretty sweet too. BUY YOU CAR HERE!!! You won’t regret it!!!! More
