Steve Napleton Auto Group Expands to Elmhurst with Acquisition of Wilkins Mazda and Wilkins Hyundai
In a significant move to expand its presence in Chicagoland, Steve Napleton Auto Group has acquired two new dealerships in Elmhurst: Wilkins Mazda and Wilkins Hyundai. This acquisition brings the family-owned automotive group to 13 dealerships across the region, including five Mazda and two Hyundai dealerships.
The newly acquired dealerships will now operate under the names Napleton’s Elmhurst Mazda and Napleton Elmhurst Hyundai, respectively. Stephen Napleton, Dealer Principal of the new locations, expressed excitement about the move and its potential to strengthen the company’s ties to the community.
“We’re incredibly excited to become part of the Elmhurst community,” said Napleton. “For us, a dealership is about more than just selling and servicing vehicles. It’s about building relationships, supporting the people and organizations around us, and creating an experience that 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.”
The acquisition of these dealerships further cements Steve Napleton Auto Group’s commitment to growth in the Chicagoland area.

Founded in 1982, the family-owned group represents eight automotive brands, including Ford, Buick, GMC, Mazda, Subaru, Honda, Hyundai, and Chevrolet.
“With the addition of the Elmhurst stores, we are bringing the ‘Love Where You Buy™’ philosophy to a new community,” Napleton added. “This commitment to personal, transparent, and community-focused experiences is what has guided our growth throughout Chicagoland, and we are excited to extend that philosophy to Elmhurst.”
Napleton’s Elmhurst Mazda and Napleton Elmhurst Hyundai will offer the same familiar products and services that customers have come to expect from the Steve Napleton Auto Group. The company’s dedication to delivering an exceptional customer experience and maintaining strong ties to the communities it serves through local partnerships, sponsorships, and charitable initiatives will continue.
