Ed Napleton Honda in Oak Lawn
Oak Lawn, IL
1,512 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.

Still In Awe This is a true story: I purchased a vehicle from these guys, worked with Sam Girgis. I explained clearly the type of car I was looking for and we This is a true story: I purchased a vehicle from these guys, worked with Sam Girgis. I explained clearly the type of car I was looking for and we walked the lot looking at a few sedans. I settled on a vehicle, went through the buying process and purchased. In doing research for the vehicle I discovered it had the type of transmission I specifically stated I wanted to avoid: CVT. The issue originally came from an ambiousgly worded window sticker. I knew I was going to have to go to war with the dealer over this. I was expecting months before it would get resolved, if it even would because I signed the deal. Sam Girgis, and the sales manager at the time, did the last thing I would have expected them to do. Over the following couple weeks, together we found the kind of car I had intented to buy and simply swapped vehicles... I'm still in shock how they handled to the mishap. These guys care very much that you are satisfied and go to lengths that I seriously doubt 99% of the industry would do. Can't recommend enough. More

Great place to buy a car Purchased a 2016 Honda CRV and the service here was outstanding. Gerald Griffin never left our side and explained everything to make sure not only the Purchased a 2016 Honda CRV and the service here was outstanding. Gerald Griffin never left our side and explained everything to make sure not only the financing but how to work everything in the car. You just don't get that kind of service anymore. Everyone was just great and we are very pleased with our vehicle. When the time comes to purchase another vehicle we won't hesitate to call Gerald at Ed Napleton Honda. Great job!!! More
