Steve Napleton Auto Group Expands into Elmhurst with Two Dealership Acquisitions
Two new dealerships expand the family-owned automotive group to 13 Chicagoland locations
Elmhurst, IL, September 01, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Steve Napleton Auto Group is proud to announce its arrival in Elmhurst with the acquisition of Wilkins Mazda and Wilkins Hyundai, bringing the family-owned automotive group’s network to 13 dealerships across Chicagoland.
The dealerships will now be known as Napleton’s Elmhurst Mazda and Napleton Elmhurst Hyundai, marking an exciting new chapter for both the stores and Steve Napleton Auto Group.
“We’re incredibly excited to become part of the Elmhurst community. “For us, a dealership is about much more than selling and servicing vehicles. It’s about building relationships, supporting the people and organizations around us and creating an experience customers want to come back to. We’re looking forward to getting to know Elmhurst and earning the trust of the community for years to come.”
Stephen Napleton, Dealer Principal of Napleton’s Elmhurst Mazda and Napleton Elmhurst Hyundai.
The addition of the Elmhurst stores gives Steve Napleton Auto Group five Mazda dealerships and two Hyundai dealerships across the Chicago area.
The group now serves customers from 13 dealerships located throughout Schaumburg, Palatine, Countryside, Oak Lawn, Morton Grove and Elmhurst, continuing a history of growth rooted in the Chicagoland community.
As the dealerships transition to the Napleton name, customers can expect the same familiar Mazda and Hyundai products and services, backed by the resources and experience of the Steve Napleton Auto Group.
The expansion also brings the group’s “Love Where You Buy™” philosophy to Elmhurst—a commitment to making the dealership experience more personal, transparent and community-focused.
“We want customers to feel good not only about what they drive, but also about where they choose to do business,” Napleton added. “That philosophy has guided our growth throughout Chicagoland, and we’re excited to bring it to Elmhurst.”
