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.

Turned away my request for service assistance I had a near dead battery in a leased vehicle that was only 2 years old. I had to call Roadside Assistance who told me to go to a dealer immediately I had a near dead battery in a leased vehicle that was only 2 years old. I had to call Roadside Assistance who told me to go to a dealer immediately for a replacement battery. I spoke with a Service Advisor at Ed Napleton Honda in Oak Lawn and explained my emergency. I asked if there would be a charge if the battery had to be replaced. Because I leased my vehicle (it was 2 years old and had less than 25,000 miles) I knew it should be covered but I just wanted to confirm that it would be replaced at no cost to me. The Service Advisor then asked if I leased the vehicle from Ed Napleton Honda. When I confirmed that I leased from another dealer, he told me that I should go to that dealer and not to Ed Napleton. I live 5 minutes from Napleton and 45 minutes by expressway from Valley Honda in Aurora, Illinois! Well, I did go to Valley Honda in Aurora, Illinois and they replaced my battery for free and then I requested that they change my oil, filters, add fluids and rotate my tires! I told them how I was treated by Napleton and they said they would never do that to anyone in the Honda family. Everyone at VALLEY HONDA are the BEST - from sales to service, they really treat their customers right! More
