I gave one star in order to submit this comment. Both thumbs down and no thank you. They seriously lack in service and price. Argued about taking responsibility for what was covered under warranty....pointed fingers at everyone else. Their quote for repairs was double what we had done at Acura in Naperville. Save yourself the aggravation and stay away from this place. read more

All the bad reviews are true, just read abou the $10 million dollar fine they just received

These guys epitomize car dealers! Absolutely the worst car buying experience I've had. Save yourself the aggravation, go elsewhere. read more

I won't make this long since we already wasted so much time at this dealership. Before going in I called regarding a Certified RDX that was featured for $34k. We already knew what we wanted so went straight to the numbers. This all of a sudden went up almost $7k because of the "Napleton Experience" the certification warranty that was separate and some other b.s. add on. They guy then said, you're better off buying a new RDX which of course was $47K. We were done. We know how this crap works. We went to other Acura dealers and there was no b.s. add ons! I will NEVER recommend anyone to go there. read more

Worked with Wade on my purchase of a 2018 Audi RS3. Very attentive, very knowledgeable about cars that aren't quite mainstream & all around, a solid experience. If you're looking for an Acura (or Audi), give Wade a call. read more

Ed Napleton Acura - Car Dealers Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

See all

I'll not set the foot in this dealership again. I was there 10/22/2022, first they told me SUV I inquired has been sold just five minutes ago, what a B.S.. Then, this salesperson supposed to show me another SUV was completely indifferent and was handling multiple customers at same time and completely ignored us and we waited over 40 minutes for him get SUV in LOT. Very bad experience, never again. There are better places, will treat customers better and make you welcome, doesn't matter if you are minority. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Terrible car dealership, at all levels of the organization, but especially service is probably the worst I've ever dealt with. Yes, car dealerships can be tough, but these guys are the bottom of the barrel. Sold me a new 2019 RDX covered in scratches. After 3 months in 2 different body shops, my car is still covered in scratches in the clear coat, and the dealership now refuses to fix the issue, and won't exchange the car for a new unblemished car. Prior to this experience, I had bought 7 other cars from them. If they would treat an 8 time customer this way, how will they treat you? Go elsewhere. read more

BEWARE! I just got back from driving a 2019 RDX advertised on cars.com for $29,999 and was ready to buy it when they told me there was an extra $5000+ in additional fees. BAIT AND SWITCH! Very dishonest. read more

Two hour wait time for an oil change appointment. When I spoke with the manager, he said that is "normal". He didn't see a problem with it. Basically, these people don't respect that other people's time is valuable. Never had a good experience with Napleton yet. Disappointing! read more

My experience with Chris, Matt and Wade.....they are very good scam artist!!!! They mislead you!!!! I personally DO NOT RECOMMEND! I walked in with a capital one preapproved letter and my credit was still ran with 6 different lenders!? Why!! I specifically said I had the capital one offer. Then I was offered extended warranty we agreed on a "deal" to find out that me accepting that extended warranty wasn't really a "deal" but an extra $3500.00. Since they "couldn't" lower the price of the truck the deal was to extend the warranty from 7-9 years. Once i agreed to the purchase I was sent to Chris the finance guy. He is very astute. He has a nice television in his office playing a movie, distracts you with how YouTube tv is better than XFINITY and of course we fell right into it. While signing the contract he made sure he asked me questions as a distraction. He's a good scam artist! I questioned the $3500 and he brushed off the question. I was sent home "conveniently" without a contract. We asked if all the paperwork was there and he said yes. Nope!! Arrived home to review everything and surprise surprise no contract. They sure played me!! They are dishonest human beings!! I went back the next day and Chris and Wade were off. The finance director Maurius spoke to me and gave Chris the benefit of the doubt that there was a misunderstanding! So here I go AGAIN the next day. Chris and Wade denied everything and refused to delete the extra $3500 claiming he's not able to. Really?? I've never heard of such thing!!! Chris words for me were " Veronica, I'm sorry you're having buyers remorse!!! Find a different dealer with morals! read more

This dealership doesn't deserve even one star for its customer service. I got the worst experience ever. The sales man (Marco spelling might be wrong) who was taking care of us was extremely rude and unprofessional. The horrible attitude that was displayed by the staff was the deciding factor of me not getting the car. Upon request to speak with the sales manager I was denied and Nizar Assria did not even have the decency to come and speak with the customer and attempt to dissolve the situation. If you wish to be received as a human being and expect respect from the staff I would highly suggest avoiding this dealership. Ironically, they charge a processing fee of almost $1200 in which apparently is included their outstanding customer service. read more

BEWARE of this DEALERSHIP!!! perhaps the WORST Acura dealership in Chicagoland. i went to purchase a 2020 RDX and the salesman baited me with $10,000 off. when i made up my mind to absolutely purchase the car, the figures - that were presented in a very unclear fashion to deliberately confuse the customer - had at least $6,000 in unnecessary add-ons, including a $1000 in "processing fee." the salesman was not ready to let me go even though I requested at least 5 times that he's just wasting both our times as the inflated figures he provided will not work. the salesman was unwilling to give me the keys of my trade-in, so I was literally at the mercy of the dealership. the 6th or the 7th time, the salesman redundantly went to his manager to "work" on the figures and the manager shouted at the top of his lungs to salesman & i. I'm surprised that the manager & salesman duo didn't kill me for rejecting their offer. needless to say; i left the dealership right at that second without turning back. i went straight to another dealership and actually bought the car. the other dealership did offer a similar price, but the salesman was a gem and did not play games even for a moment. read more

Drove 40 mins to buy a car at the advertised price $31,667 and was told they would not sell it for that price. I would have to pay a extra $5,000 In extra fees and warranty's. Horrible service and bait and switch tactics. Just save yourself and shop elsewhere the reviews speak for them selves. read more

BE AWARE PRICE THAT You SEE DOES NOT INCLUDE $895 processing fee +doc fee And napleton fee $1395.00+ some kind certified fee + doc fee So if you buy car for $15000 you will end up paying $25000. That's my experience for 15000 car , I was quote $357 for 72 months which comes to $25000 read more

This whole place is a scam!!!! If you don't buy car here they will revenge you. I left my personal bank information there but decided not to buy the car because of the entire unpleasant experience. After I left, they used my information to apply for loan and credit extension in 7 banks and got me rejected. What kind of sick people would do this?????????? I would appreciate if anyone can provide me a formal way to file a complaint. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE read more

I wish I could provide a better review for this dealership as I came from this industry and the salesperson I had was so kind, but this dealership will low ball the crap out of your trade while also giving you the wrong amount because they mixed my car up with another of the same make....even with how the market is going. The car I was looking at is a model that I have wanted ever since it came out as I am an Acura Lover. The one they have in stock was misrepresented online with Advanced pkg features such as ventilated front seats. I was told the used car mgr would remove it. He did, but it is actually listed in 2 areas of the vehicle description - along with many 3rd party car search engines. Not saying where as it's not my responsibility as a consumer to point these things out. The car also had many minor and slightly major imperfections that of course did not show in the pictures such as rusted/corroded rear rotors. When I question this to the sales mgr, he said "well it rained yesterday." I said at night? Because I was at the dealership around 8pm the night before and even test drove the car...for 45 minutes. It was not raining and even if it had, the rust would not have been bad at all. This was thick rust/corrosion on the rear rotors and they clearly needed to be replaced. They will come up with any excuse to sell a car while not only lying to the customer to get them in the doors to justifying expensive repairs to the car. They are not willing to lower price to reflect high mileage, amount of owners, an accident that clearly had not been repaired and not budging on trade in value. Luckily there are quite a bit of pre-owned Acura's out there so there is always somewhere more honest and eager to make a sale the proper and professional way. To top it off, they lowered the price by $5. If that isn't a slap in the face, then I don't know what is! Like I said, I truly don't like to review on dealerships as I came from this industry and reviews are so important. However, it is also important that consumers know what to expect when visiting. **Update** The price is now lowered, but my trust in this dealership is out the window. Also, I never even received a call from my salesperson or the sales manager regarding the price change. Had my experience been better and they admitted their pricing error, I might not have walked. They must not have wanted to make a sale because it was only the 1st of the month and didn't feel the pressure to reach quota yet. Ed Napleton Acura will have to do a lot more than that to earn my business and time. read more

What an experience. I came here for a car I saw on CarGurus. I had just got in an accident the weekend before and really needed a car and was super excited to find a car I loved for a good price. My salesman Victor was super friendly and helpful and helped me out with insurance and everything. The finance guy was a little bit of an issue though. I went home the next day and looked over my paperwork and noticed numbers were off and there was papers missing. I came back in and the sales manager and a different finance person were more than willing to fix it and redo my contract correctly. It would've been nice to not have that whole issue happen but the fact they were willing to make it right is why I'm still giving 4 stars read more

Went in to buy a car, didn't end up buying it but Luis Sanchez was a great help! I had been to 3 other dealers prior and walked out mad and frustrated. Luis was a great help and not your typical used car salesman like the ones I encountered. He gets it and he's upfront and even though I didn't buy a car I would recommend him. The down side is the dealership does have high fees. read more

I would give zero stars if I could, just left there not happy at all, someone named joey spoke with my son ran the credit did all the necessary things that needed to be done, gave him a monthly payment, his down payment and interest rate, called him several times to make sure he was coming , then when we get there no one knows of anyone named joey and said maybe he works at the call center? excuse me? what kind of business is this, then they give us a different sales man and they say interest is a lot higher or he needs a co signer , what kind of business is this? we drove one hour each way for this , obviously they just want your business and switch it up when you get in there, I will be sure to let everyone know what a shitty business this is! I DO NOT RECCOMEND!!!!!!!! we will find what we're looking for elsewhere! yes we could have co signed but not once the red flags started flying, NOPE NOT TODAY! read more

Called ahead of time to ask if either/both of the 2022 Acura ILX A-Spec cars listed on their website were available and was assured that they were "available and we give top dollar for trades". Great. I drove an hour from the city to get there and sure enough the cars were not available and hadn't been for some time. The salesman was not sure why they were even still on the site. Funny enough, two weeks later they are STILL on the website. read more

If I could give no stars I would horrible customer service we wanted to purchase an mdx and trade in our vehicle and they wanted to rob us as far as how much they valued our vehicle.

My wife and I had a great experience with Napleton Acura. After seeing a car online, I called to confirm it was still available. I then made an appointment with Patricia O'Brien to see it the following day and drove up from Tennessee (we're originally from Chicago). We meet with Firas Syriani who was extremely helpful with pointing out details and options the vehicle had. During the test drive he even gave us directions of how to get to the highway and taking surface streets. This was very helpful since we were from out of state. After the test drive, we went over the numbers. The out the door price with taxes, fees, etc, was a little more than we were looking to pay. We thanked him for his time, but then Firas asked us what our bottom line out the door price would need to be. After telling him, he went to talk to his General Sales Manager Ken Montijo. Ken came out and said that it might be doable, but that they were checking with Tennessee to confirm the sales tax they needed to be collecting (totally understandable). After a while they figure out the sales tax and confirmed that they could do that bottom line out the door price and then we were off to see the Finance Manager, Darius Shams, to discuss financing. Darius explained the different financing options for us and helped us pick the right one for our needs. Overall we love our new car and would definetly make the trip again the next time we are in the market for another vehicle. In the meantime, we'll be recommending this dealership to all of our friends in the Chicagoland area! read more

I'm really surprised by the reviews here! I bought a car from Ed Napleton yesterday and don't think I'll ever buy a car elsewhere. Gustavo was attentive, honest and helpful from the beginning. We went to SIX DEALERS and by the time I came in, I was super up front about my expectations. He was so transparent and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I personally find the Napleton package helpful, for some reason my windshield breaks often so that alone saves me so much money. We added a few upgrades and again Gustavo was super upfront and honest about the cost and advised if he felt it was worth it. After initial negotiations, we met Richie. He was such a pleasure to work with and you can tell they both are really passionate about Acura's. Anyway, I completely recommended! Best price out of six dealers, best service and the Napleton perks are nice!! read more

I don't even know where to start... but let me bullet the top few awful things about this business/place: - NO ONE WEARS. few people keep them on their chin... not even attempting to social distance, no separations, no open doors/windows, zero regulation on capacity... when we went the place was packed like a concert.... COVID19 central. - The car listing price is A LIE. Be prepared to be charged at least 30% extra in questionable fees - no one can comprehensively explain what those fees actually are.. there isn't a price breakdown or written rule that you "have to pay this amount for x,y,z" - you get abandoned FOR HOURS waiting on the paperwork (literally sat there for 3 hours with no explanation of what was going on...) - prepare to get FOUR HARD INQUIRIES on your credit. Even if you come with a pre-approved loan with your own bank. They essentially WITHOUT CONSENT financed through their company and then re-sold my loan to my bank?..still trying to identify what they did... this sort of blends into the next point... - as soon as you leave the dealership be prepared to be put on an "all calls declined" list. I keep calling and at best get hung up on. Over and over and over again... Bottom line - save your time and money and visit literally any dealer but these scammers. This place is to the T what all car salesmen jokes are about... Except it is not funny when you are spending thousands of dollars on a multi-year commitment. read more

Was at this store a couple of weeks ago shopping for a certified, pre-owned MDX. I walked out dissatisfied with the service and management attitude. Got a ridiculous price for the MDX including my trade-in and sales manager attitude was not customer-friendly. Eventually bought from another dealership. Giving 1 star for the friendly attitude and knowledge of the sales rep that was on the test drive with me. read more

As of right now I'm pretty upset with all the stuff of the car it's runs a little to bumpy you guys didnt check for that! I mean the door like I said is broken and the guy couldn't fix it when I went in the following day I got it. You guys didn't check my tires which was very low in air and stuff. And the car needs a oil change which should have been done way before I got the car !! read more

Ed Napleton Acura - Car Dealers Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

I've had mixed luck with Napleton Acura. I purchased a new Acura in 2010 and traded in my old vehicle. I had done a lot of research and new what price I wanted to pay. Ted from Internet Sales gave me the best price around. First, when I was test driving, the Sales guy and Finance Manager (who happened to be there) were pushing me to purchase a loaded, certified used vehicle which actually costed more than new one. Not to mention the mileage on both used vehicles had more than they had initially told me. Also, the Finance Manager wanted the keys to my old car right away - which really irritated me. So, we move on to new vehicles and in the middle we stop, my salesman was unsure if they had the color combo I wanted or that they could get it in a reasonable amount of time. Turns out they couldn't, they'd have to order it and it could have taken 2 months to come in. So they ask me if I'd take a black one - which I had already told him I had no interest in a black car (detailing black car in Chicago winters are hell), then they offer the showroom model, which had 0 miles. So we get back to the deal and the Sales Manager did not want to meet the internet pricing. After going back and forth, we had a deal. This mind you was the 2 hour mark. Now to the trade in. First, they thought I was stupid, then they thought I was stupid. I had print outs from Kelly Black Book and a purchase certificate from CarMax and they thought I'd take just what I owed on it. How'd they know what I owed? Well I guess if you have a Honda Finance loan, they can look you up. I told them I would walk and sell outright and they finally met me at a reasonable price. The financing was terrible. The Finance Manager was high pressure, bs'ing and reminded me of someone that had no business financing luxury vehicles. This took another 1.5 hours. Mind you, I understand finance, the terms and everything else - this timing was all due to his sales tactics and time wasting to see how long it'd take me to give in. At the 4.5 hour mark, my car was finally ready. The salesman spent a good 30 minutes with me showing me the car and it's features which was very nice. I had to take the car back two days later to get an add-on installed and that went fine. After the sale, I decided I did not want their warranty. This was a horrendous experience to cancel (within the waiting period) and get my money back. The finance manager would not call me back and when I went in person, he was a complete jerk and would not give me a copy of the paperwork. Then a month later, it still had not been processed and the paperwork was no where to be found. I then went to the GM and about two weeks later I had my money back and the warranty was cancelled. I even got the run around from the GM until threatening to get the BBB and State Attny General involved. Since then I've had mixed luck with the service department as well. I totally forgot about all the free oil change coupons and apparently even if you buy a car from Napleton, their service department will charge you if you don't have the coupon. The guys that work in the service department can be nice, but I've had my issues. One time I booked my appointment online and when I got there the one guy couldn't find the appointment. They he complained that he had been soo busy all day and hadn't even had time for lunch. My next obvious question was - can you do the oil change or not? Then he made me wait about 15 minutes before the other service guy came out and got the paperwork started and then my oil change. I have a dealer installed accessory and have nothing but constant issues with it. I've brought it in several times and still to this day it does not work right. It's aggravating because I don't have time to keep running back to the dealership. I've since paid off my car and had to cancel my gap insurance. I tried to do this one day while getting the above mentioned oil change. Firstly, no one working tin he entire Acura side would help me. So then, I walked over to the Kia side and they sent me back to the Acura side. Then, I find someone that tells me I need the Finance Manager (duh) and I find him and a salesman takes a new buyer in there and walks right in front of me, cutting me off. I then waited 90 minutes to talk to this guy. After that, I tried to get confirmation that the paperwork had been processed at the dealership (see the above warranty cxl issue) and I got a snotty email back. Overall, I've had better experience with other dealerships in the area. Once my oil change coupons run out I will not be going back. The service level is not that great and definitely nothing close to what I would have expected from an Acura dealership. Although I love my car, this was the worst car buying experience I've ever had and the worst follow-up service I've ever had with a dealership. read more

Such a nice and friendly place. Micheal tapia was super helpful and did everything he can to help and answer all my questions about any car questions I had. What a great man he is! Overall the place is great! Keep up the good work. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! You will regret it! They simply do not care about you as a customer. It is easy to "say you care", but the real test is in the actions. Will they have your back? Will they make a wrong right? Will they do the right thing to fix one of their mistakes to do a customer right? The answer is "NO"! I had recently leased a car and either one of two things took place... the salesman either didn't know his product or was bold faced lying to get me to sign on the dotted line. I'm leaning towards the later. Either way, my wife wound up with a car that didn't have what was promised. A determining factor in the sale and a conversation that was had multiple times before signing to ensure it was included. "Yup, yup, yup, no problem." He even strung me along after the sale, saying "oh, it's not working? Just bring it in to service and they will fix it". Service informed me it was not included in this model/year. Never has been and isn't available in this car until 2019. Their tactic in dealing with this, give you new person "that doesn't know the deal". In fact, he didn't even work for Acura! Sales manager Conor (who personally handled the lease deal) responded via another employee (didn't both calling me back) that "I could go buy some aftermarket products to take car of it". I never got a call from Conor! I called back asking for the general manager for Ed Napleton Acura. Was given, John, who is head of sales at KIA. John jerked me around for a week or two, and stopped returning my phone calls. Finally got him on the phone again, but only after asking for the general manager again. He pretended not to have missed any calls from me, or have had any idea that I was trying to get a hold of him DAILY. John, informed me that he had been working with the General Manager of Acura, all along and that there wasn't anything they could do or would be willing to do other than sell me a more expensive car making me pay more for the features I was told were included in the one I leased. When I asked if he spoke to Connor or Wilson about what they promised in the sale, they FLAT OUT DENIED EVER TELLING ME THAT! Complete and utterly dishonest people! The whole process seemed like a page out of the Ed Napleton How to Handle a Customer You've Lied To Playbook. They truly could care less at the end of the day and invested no more than a few phone calls into the matter with empty promises about "getting this taken care of". A verbal agreement is the same as a written agreement. Both can be upheld by the law. But their shady slimeball approach was to simply lie and deny. Going to be difficult to deny the phone call I made to Acura, sitting in my driveway trying to have Acura tech support help me figure out why the Android Auto that Wilson and Connor told me was in the car wasn't working. Also, going to be difficult to deny that I called Google (creators of Android Auto) and had them try and troubleshoot the problem as well. Do you really want to do business with people like this? Do yourself a favor, and buy from McGrath or one of the other dealers around. This place is full of shady slimey car salesmen that will say whatever to get you in a vehicle. Ohh, and not my first bad experience with them. I should have learned the first time. Went in about 2 years ago to buy a MDX and found a beautiful one I really liked. They told me they had to fix a recall issue first and put me in a loaner. That went on for nearly 2 months. I eventually returned it and bought a different car from a different dealer. I was called 2 months later by TJ accusing me of still having the loaner! Totally disorganized! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! TRUST ME! read more

Went in for service and ended up getting spam emails from CarFax. C'mon, really??? Not impressed with wait time either, or communication.

Avoid this Dealer at all costs. I went in following a lead from the Costco Auto Program, which was highly recommended to me, and then they immediately refused to even discuss the program. Said they could give me a better price, but wouldn't actually give me any 'pre-negotiated' price through the program. On top of that I was there to see a used 2019 RDX, which was being serviced so they put me in a 'New' 2020 as a test drive, but then only tried to sell me on the 'New' vehicle. I didn't want a new car, and the car they were selling new already had 4500 miles on it, which is not new. Any attempts to discuss either the vehicle I was originally interested in or the Costco Auto Program were completely ignored until I pushed hard, which is when they said the certification and experience costs were required and would have put the used car $5k more expensive than listed. They are the classic sleazy dealership everyone should avoid. read more

I am not one to usually leave bad reviews but I don't want what just happened to me to happened to anyone else so in light of that, here it goes: I met with Kristen Montijo yesterday to look at a used Toyota Rav4. Kristen was great and very friendly and I enjoyed working with her very much. We took the car for a test drive and then sat down to talk about numbers. I wasn't quite ready to go home with the car that night, so I asked Kristen if there was anything we could do to put a "hold" on the car for 24 hours. She ensured me that this was something they could do and that they do all the time. Kristen told me that if I put a $500 deposit down, it would prevent the car from being sold to anyone over the next 24 hours. I paid the $500 and we negotiated the price of the vehicle. We agreed that I would return the next day to either purchase or pass on the car. I had 1 other vehicle at a different dealership I was going to check out and then I would make the decision. So I go home, very excited about the possibility of getting this new car, feeling good knowing that it wouldn't be sold out from under me in the next 24 hours. I had just had an apartment sold out from under me the day prior (which I told Kristen) so knowing the deposit would prevent that from happening again gave me much peace of mind. Our appointment with Kristen was on July 25, 2017 at 7:15pm. On July 26, 2017 at 2:33pm I received a text from Kristen stating "Hey there... sorry to report but earlier this morning someone came in with a better offer on the RAV4 an my manager took the deal. So sorry. I'm not at work at the moment I can have someone refund your deposit." ........... To say I am furious is an understatement. I called the dealership immediately where I spoke with GM Benjamin Jacobs. I told Ben what happened and he told me that the deposit only secures the price for 24 hours it does not prevent the car from being sold. This was the exact opposite of what Kristen ASSURED me on multiple occasions. The whole point of me putting a deposit down was to ensure the car wouldn't be sold the next day. While I do not believe it was Kristen's intention to lie to me, she did regardless. Multiple times. Ben then tried to "make good" by offering to sell me other cars that were also not in my price range nor were they the car I wanted and had put a deposit down on. I then called Kristen to get her side of the story and while she was very apologetic, did little to help me understand how this possibly could have happened. She stated that she received a text from her manager that morning asking her where the keys were for the Toyota Rav4 (the car I was going to buy) were. At this point, Kristen should have either 1 - told the manager it was on hold for her client (me) or 2 - called me immediately to let me know what was going on. I was so excited to get this car, we had a contract drawn up, I had a deposit down, everything was going very smoothly and yet here I am, writing a scathing review because I was lied to. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone. As someone who doesn't a big budget to spend on a car, I was so excited to finally find a car that met my criteria and that I could afford. I feel completely taken advantage and am very upset. We will be seeking legal action. read more

They had my car for almost 2-3 weeks, it was suppose to have repairs done to it and they never did anything until the service manager finally reached out to me about it and was only notified that it had been there for only a 1-2 days. Buying the car went well but anything other than giving them a car purchase good luck honestly, seems like nobody helps you around there or have the answers you need. read more

Not impressed. They basically list vehicles on their site as certified. When you get there, they will not call them certified. They call them certifiable. This means that they have gone through the certification process but if you want to purchase the vehicle as certified it will be an additional $2500 fee. Hmmm. They really fight to keep this fee on there, saying that it costs them money to certify the vehicles. Hmmm. Very deceptive practice. They also add on a fee for $1400 that is some sort of maintenance fee. It apparently covers interior, glass chips, a few oil changes and some other items. Might be a good deal, not sure. The problem is that they don't offer this to you as an extra, they force you to pay it. Meaning that you cannot decline it. Meaning if you want to buy a car from them you must agree to pay this nonsense fee. Hmmm. So here is the kicker...,,They flat out refuse to remove this fee. They may negotiate a little on the certified fee, but this maintenance fee they will not remove. There were a few other hefty bs fees as well. Overall about $5000 in extra fees that were really for nothing except to line their pockets. I don't know, i guess some people must pay them but seems shady to me. It also makes it difficult for a potential buyer to negotiate down the price. They start out so incredibly high by padding the price with fees, that even if they agree to reduce or remove a few, you are still starting higher than you should. It is these types of sub par business practices that make people distrust car dealerships and detest the car buying experience. It is shameful that this still goes on. It doesn't have to be this way. They let me walk without buying a car (and I wanted to make a purchase), simply because I refused to pay these extra fees. I would think they would back off, but these guys just dug in their heels and let me go. That just shows you that they know exactly what they are doing and have thought out very carefully how they will deal with customers who don't agree to bs fees. I would highly suggest that you shop elsewhere. -not much else to say except...'Wow!) read more

My review is very similar to previous 1-Star Ratings. My initial impressions of the dealership were positive: professional salesperson, spotless showroom, and the vehicle I was interested in was beautifully detailed and appeared exactly as described on their website. Before I dump on them, I have to state as a cash buyer - I do not know how they deal with people looking to finance their purchase. However, I can take a pretty good guess. After looking over the vehicle and taking it for a spin I was very enthusiastic. I thought to myself, "I have no problem giving them their asking price and getting out of here with an additional $2,000 or so in taxes and fees. Both sides of the deal will be happy with the ease and results of the transaction." Then the salesperson "ran the numbers". He came back with a total of approximately $30,800 for a vehicle sticker'd at $22,997. HUH?!? This total included approximately $1,400 for a dent and windshield protection plan and the BIG DOG - $3,900 for a "Used Car Dealer Inspection Fee". Yeah...seriously. I was shocked. At this point I was pretty much done. I told the salesperson I was not interested in the protection plan. The only thing I could come up with for such a crazy inspection fee at the time was some sort of requirement for an Illinois lemon law (I'm from Indiana). After some research I can tell you, it is not. The salesperson took the amount I was willing to spend to the decision maker and came back with their minimum to get the vehicle off the lot, $27,000. Still $4,000 over their initial asking price. I would imagine they make off pretty well sticking these fees to customers who are uncomfortable asking questions or unprepared to walk away from a deal. If you're still determined to shop at Ed Napleton Acura after reading all of these horrible reviews, I'd recommend you be prepared to do both of these things. Good Luck! read more

Awesome. In so many ways! Came here on a whim to see a car listed for sale on their website. Test drove it, convinced myself i wanted it, signed the credit application and started biting my nails thinking there is NO way im walking out with a car today. But it happened. Eddie and the team there are SO kind and willing to work with you. I traded in my mazda 3 and purchased a bmw with ease. They arent the normal grimey types of salesmen, they actually give you the best honest deal they can offer. Real people here, no scams no trouble. Genuine people trying to get you a good car to go home in. WILL RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!! Thanks again Ed Napleton of Elmhurst!!!!! read more

Call them first and find out what fees will be added to the price of the car if you buy it. May save you some time.
