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. 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 Ed Napleton Family operates more than 79 franchises in eight states. Taking pride in helping each community they live and work in, the Napleton Family name has become synonymous with excellence and teamwork. What started as a small family-owned business has blossomed into one of the most forward-thinking dealership groups in the country. 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. The Ed Napleton Auto Group remains dedicated to their customers in every aspect of the car buying experience and providing unparalleled customer satisfaction.

This dealer engages in shady sells tactics, and tries to add a ridiculous $2000 or more add on package to their used vehicles. The package is not optional. This dealer will do everything they can to get you More

Below is my response to an email received from this dealership. Thank you for your response. Dealers adding fees to their cars is unfortunately too prevalent in the auto business. Dealers unwilling too disclose these fees, provide any legitimate disclaimer, or even willing to provide an out the door price, especially to an out of state buyer on Truecar is not. This is especially true since I repeatedly asked for an out the door price including any dealer added fees, doc fees, disclosures, etc. My problem is that as soon as your dealership realized that I would not come in before receiving an out the door price, and that I understood the games and tactics they engage in, they still would not be up front and honest. Your text and sales ladies tried to tell me they would have someone call me back in a week once they realized I would not come in that day. Then unbelievably, they tried to explain they were too busy or this was due to covid just minutes after they just tried to get me into the door. I have dealt with hundreds of dealers, this is the first time in my life that I have ever had one tell me it would take a week to get back to me. Then your sales guy calls and still will not provide me an out the door price. He starts telling an out of state buyer how great the maintenance package is, truly dumb, and how much benefit the add ons provide. I asked him to get me the lowest out the door price. He told me that he would get with a manager and get back to me. He never did. Again, I am well aware of these added fees, but I don't know of too many dealerships that won't provide them when I tell them upfront that I know about them, especially to an online buyer. It's not the ridiculous fees that set your dealership apart in a bad way, it's your lack of honesty, transparency, and integrity. I completely understand that getting a person into the dealership greatly increases your chances of selling a car, however, when a potential buyer knowingly asks about the added fees and the dealership either flat out lies or refuses to disclose the information, that is a completely different story. The fact that in these trying times your dealership tries to prey on the uneducated or undereducated, in regards to buying a car, is truly sad. The fact that your dealership is unwilling to provide an out the door price to an educated buyer is truly astonishing. You are the one that has to look your family or friends in the eye each day. You would not want them to have to engage in the same dealings that your dealership portrays onto others on a daily basis. Again, truly sad!!!
