If you are looking for a vehicle, stay clear of Napleton *** of Fishers
If you are looking for a vehicle, stay clear of Napleton *** of Fishers. This place is NOTHING but a joke! They take your money and do not care about you after the sale! Take your business elsewhere! I have bought numerous vehicles in my lifetime. NEVER have I ran into a dealership that has FAILED in EVERY aspect in the car dealership business. *** the *** of all Napleton dealerships in Indiana claims he has no boss and when asked if he does, he gets butt sore and tells you to bring the car back! We purchased our brand new vehicle on April 7 and it has been the worst experience buying a car! *** the *** of this store had a sit down meeting with my husband and I on May 15 and made promises to make things right. Here we are today June 7 and none of those promises have been done. *** has claims he has been out of the office for quite sometime. Are emails sent to the *** store not forwarded to another manager while they are out? I sent an email on May 26 regarding one of the promises that were made and never received a response. Sent another email on June 4 informing him that we would like to return the vehicle. I texted *** the same day asking for a confirmation that he received said email. *** response was "I apologize for not having gotten back to you sooner. I've been out of the office for some time with an illness. I will see to checking the email you sent ***." On June 8, I texted *** again via text message stating we were out and about and could drop the car off to them. The response from *** was "I'm sorry I'm out of work with pneumonia. It was never my intention to ignore any of your requests. I will have one of my managers get in touch you. As I'm not permitted back to work until Monday. " Don't you think that should of been the response to my text on June 7th? Along with the email and texts I have sent, my husband has been waiting on a response from him (***) since May 20. Take your business elsewhere! *** was *** aware we wanted to bring back the vehicle the day before meeting with him in person on May 15th. We decided to give the dealership another chance and here we are nothing has been done! Bought the vehicle with a crack in the windshield (which was illegal to drive since it obstructed our view) and paid $1,895 to have a black out package added. *** (after a couple trips to the dealership, several text messages, and phone calls) on April 19th the car went in to have the windshield replaced and package added. 2 weeks we *** got our vehicle returned again, after numerous calls and texts. On May 5 we noticed the windshield they installed was defective AND they did not balance the tires after the black out package was put on the rims which caused the car to hobble out of control. We contacted service and was told they would call us back with an appointment. At the time of our meeting with *** neither of these issues were resolved. Here we are today, June 7, tires have been so called balanced (still wobbles on the highway) and still a defective windshield. We are in the process of returning our vehicle due this dealerships broken promises, lack of communication once the sale was completed, lack of professionalism, and down right incompetence. #1 *** service huh? Says who? This is not all the issues we are dealing with as I don't have time to write more. Don't waste your time folks. There are more bad than good reviews on all of their dealerships.

They dont understand **, I Dont *** GO TO A NAPLETON DEALERSHIP, my fun was at the **** location*** SHOULD FEEL PRESSURED TO BUY
They dont understand , I Dont *** GO TO A NAPLETON DEALERSHIP, my fun was at the *** location*** SHOULD FEEL PRESSURED TO BUY SOMETHING THEY DONT NEEDHow do they have a A+ rating on the Complaintsboard.com?This was a waste of 5 hrs today to go buy a car (used one). Over an hour drive there from home.We are looking to replace a vehicle that is no longer safe and heading to the junk yard.My wife and I are down to an Explorer or a Durango. Found a number of them that check all the boxes that we both like. Understand even with being a used 3 or 4 yr old ***, we are looking at $30K and more. This is not an under $5K car that would be mainly used on short trips, this will be used for cross country drives for work and fun. We did the research, and I already know a lot about most cars on the road.So I made an appointment to see the car, when I asked about what we are looking at as far as cost, I was informed by *** that its the price on line but we can discuss that when we get there.When we get there, about 20 mins late due to road construction (wee, winter is over) the gentlemen behind the desk takes our info and passes us along to a young man that is going to help us, no problem. Asked about *** and informed he is occupied and he will be unable to help. He gets the info for the car we are looking to see and goes to pull it up. After a few minutes he returns and shows us the Durango, looks as advertised. When we got in to test drive we found the low fuel light on, *** system has the dealership in a lake (needs that checked), and its dirty inside (dirt on the floor, cigarette ashes in the cup holders, smells of smoke ***! one), then we go inside to finalize what we are looking at for cost. (let the Fun begin, just not for me) The young man goes and tries to find someone to give him the cost of the car. When he finally gets back to us its over $40K, its $32.9K online ($35.4K out the door or should be). I informed him No Deal that was way more than Im going to pay and I dont need all the extra stuff.He goes back and comes back with *** (another *** to help me understand. TOO LATE) he goes on to explain the Napleton idea and the services that they offer and the benefits of what they have FOR *** EXTRA $5k+, *** DEAL. It a used car with a remaining factory warranty still available for its power train and maybe a little on the whole (only has 25K miles, not sure when 3 year hits).He gives me information on the services (dont need them) and even mentions that they lost their manager and most of the *** (think it may be a good idea not to let buyers know the sales team leader quit and took folks with him). He gave me a new price of $38K, I told him still *** DEAL. Informed him again thank you, but No I will find another car. (*** TWO, time to walk!)My wife and I leave and get 3 calls from the dealer asking to come back and reducing the price. Last call is from a manager who informed me if I would come back I can have the car for $35.8K out the door (still $400over). I thanked him and kept heading home. (Heading ***!)I will never go to, use or recommend to anyone a NAPLETON Dealership.To understand who I am, Im an *** in the safety compliance field. I build cars, bikes and trucks for fun (***, , , , Tundra, ***, ***, Eliminators, Harleys). I work on my vehicles and my friends. I have worked on aircrafts and farm equipment. I have done this for over 40yrs. dont tell me what I need to keep a car running. I have 3 vehicles in my drive way with over 280k miles, 2 are over 300. Im just looking to replace one of the cars with a rusted out frame (dont feel like doing the welding and frame support to make it safe for anyone to drive)
I guess I should have done my homework here before dealing with this business! My car does not have AM radio working and when they came to get it to see what was going on, I asked for the headliner to be cleaned ( it had some stains on it). My salesperson took it upon himself to clean it instead of having the detail people do it. He must have used a wire brush, as it look so much worse. In one place he almost scrubbed a hole in the liner. I have tried to call several times to talk to a manager and today to talk to financial to see when I could expect my title and *** answers the phone. Just rings and rings, the operators don't even pick back up. I have been ghosted by a car dealership. GO ANYWHWERE ELSE
I JUST WANTED TO POST THIS SO OTHERS WILL KNOW:I received a mailing from *** that had some coupons on it. One was for an Oil Change for $39.95, one was for a Free Alignment Check, and one was for a Free Battery Test. I brought the 3 coupons in and gave the coupons to the service writer. He wrote everything up and said it would be about an hour or an hour and 15 minutes. I was in the waiting room and *** came and told me that I needed to Replace Lower Ball Joint, Replace Brake Pads And Rotor, And Replace Link Stabilizer. I told her I needed to think about it. After thinking about it I decided I was going to tell her to make the repairs. I went to pick up the vehicle, and there was a bill for almost $200.00. I asked *** what that was all about. She said I could only use one coupon. The coupons say nothing about only being able to use one, and the original service writer accepted the coupons. She asked me if I wanted to do the recommended service work. I told her that in light of the scam she tried to pull, I did not trust her I was going to get a second opinion. I left the dealership started the vehicle and the Red Brake Indicator light came on. It was not on when I brought the vehicle in. When I got home I checked and found that the brake fluid was low. I added some brake fluid and the red brake light went off. I was told that when I brought the vehicle in for service they would check all the fluid levels. I also know that there was no problem with the fluid when I brought it in. I BELIEVE SOMEONE REMOVED SOME FLUID SO THE RED BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I have taken the vehicle to 2 Independent Automotive Repair Shops. They Checked And Told Me That The Work You Told Me Had To Be Done Was Not Necessary. I AM GLAD I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT NEEDED. I will file a complaint with The complaintsboard.com so that others will know.
This place is the worst of the worst! We saw a car online, listed at 29K, i called and confirmed the price over the phone. We drove there looked at the car. The salesman gave us a paper that detailed that the actual price after what they called market adjustments and repairs was over 37k. The sales manager stated, the company has to put a price on a car as soon as they get a car, so that was just a made up price. They then offer an interest rate before pulling our credit, after an hour wait the finance guys says he would give us an interest rate of 10%, and after we declined and started to leave came out to say he could then give us a 7% interest rate, again before even doing a credit check. The sales manger made multiple jokes about women, and our president. We will never buy a vehicle from them.
The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Brought a vehicle for a sound problem, didn't fix it. Brought back in and was told they didn't know how to fix it and needed help from *** line. 4 weeks later not a peep from them despite dozens of calls and messages left. Finally got the service manager, he said he would make sure they took care of problem and setup a day to bring it in. 2 days later after bringing it in without communicating with me at all I had to get a ride to dealership to be told they didn't have the right ***s in and nothing had been done. Don't go there for any reason, drive a little further and goto a different *** if you need a *** it's not worth the wasted time and frustration. 3 months later I have zero resolution with my car's problem.
Hands down!
Hands down! *** is the best car buying experience you will ever have!Why? Great Cars Good Prices Professionalism Courtesy Honesty Friendliness Top Notch Service before *** after the sale. Read my full experience below its an impressive story:I have purchase over a dozen new & used cars including 3 out-of-state and 9 local purchases. I like purchasing nicer slightly used cars after someone else took the new car depreciation hit. *** is by far the finest car purchasing experience I have had! I was in *** looking to purchase a car for my daughter. I saw a Rav4 online at *** and called to inquire. The phone call was answered first time with a not a machine but a live person, no less the sales manager, ***. I asked if the car had any interior smoke smell. He said, *** check for you now and call you back in 10 mins. Ten minutes later my phone rings and *** tells me no smell except a new car smell. *** was well spoken, professional and honest. We spoke of car price and extra services for the car, and we were price agreed 15 mins later. Less than one hour later, I have an email with the typed-up purchase agreement. Impressive! He was nice enough to hold the car for a day when most dealers will never place any hold on a car. I called an independent inspector, ***, to inspect the car for the following day. When he didnt show up, I received a call at 4:45 PM on Friday from NapletonOffLease sales consultant ***. He introduced himself and said that *** asked him to assist me with anything I need with the inspection. I thanked him for letting me know and after multiple calls & emails to ***, I finally got the inspector to show up at 7 PM. At my request, *** called me on his phone at the end of the inspection and handed his phone to the *** inspector who verbally gave me his report so I could drive up to *** on Saturday to purchase the car.When we arrived in *** on Saturday, the *** car lot looked like a dream garage of the nicest luxury cars just a year or two old, but in perfect condition. As we walked inside NapletonOffLeases clean, modern building, I was greeted by several people with friendly hellos and smiles. My wife and I were offered some water and even snacks after our long drive. The car was all ready for us and was spotlessly clean inside and out. After a great test drive, we did the paperwork with *** and *** who made the process easy. Most dealers have bogus add-on fees that have no value but not Napleton. Any additional fee offered was a true product benefit for the car or a valued service after the sale which was clearly explained. Im fine with a true value-added products or services. 48 hours after the first phone call my new Rav 4 Limited Hybrid is back home in my garage in *** now thats service!Talk about service after the sale. I took my Rav4 title to the *** license office and their *** clerk told me the title was filled out incorrectly and could not be transferred. I contacted *** & *** who immediate contacted their title department. Napleton made no mistake at all. The Napleton title person took the extra step to call *** and waited 30 mins on hold to speak with the state and they agreed the title is correct. She called me back with a number for the local license department to call if there were any questions *** then transferred the title with no problem. *** has a team of professional sales consultants like ***, *** & *** who have worked together for many years at another dealership and came as a *** to *** to re-create a better car buying experience they succeeded. Even in ***, my next car purchase will start with a call to ***. Thanks guys!

I was very disappointed at the dealer aweek ago . After I buy car. but management very good communication with customer and they listen detail everything and they very care customer service . They don't just dumping after done deal. Iam appreciate how management handled my complaint. Anything can happened but Anything can fixed more important . So now iam happy enough
They sell cars that are easily stolen. If you own a *** before 2023 your car is at risk of being stolen
Purchased a used VW Passat on August 1st. It worked for exactly 3 days. Now hundreds of dollars and 2 months later, we are out 20K and have no car. We purchased a warranty and paid extra to have it "certified" but none of that helped.
The dealer promised us things just to get us in the store, and then reneged on the promises once we were there. As we negotiated the purchase, both the sales manager and the finance manager attempted to slip in a combined extra $14,000 in costs hoping we wouldn't notice. I feel so sorry for those who participate with this dealerhip unaware of how they're being taken for more money than they expected to pay.
MUST *** dealership is full of "managers" that lie
MUST *** dealership is full of "managers" that lie. On Sunday May 2nd we contacted the dealership regarding the posted price of the car in which we are told could be negotiated by the sales team. Once we started the negation process everything went left field after we were connected to the "***" ***. He called and stated that the car had outstanding bills and we should be able to get for the listing price but at the same time insisting that we advise where we were located. Once he decided to call back, he stated that he could not lose out on $7000 dollars and increased the price. In addition to this he stated that it was easier to just sell to someone in town. After we made a formal complaint under the "Talk to the ***" page on their website we were contacted on Monday May 3rd from a *** in which he was working the numbers. While we had preapproval from ***, he insisted that we do financing through their dealership and we could have a better interest rate than *** offered. We filled out the needed information and tried to get in contact we were given the run around all day. I finally was connected to the *** dealership in which a very nice young lady transferred me to the *** in which I left a voicemail, and we were immediately contacted back by *** after he had cut his phone off or blocked us in which he stated that car was actually sold in auction this morning and that we actually never had a deal. We never actually had a deal only because they REFUSED to send us the buyers agreement until I agreed to run my credit. Then after they PULLED *** and I do have an inquiry (which he claims I should not, but I clearly see it on my credit) the car was mysteriously sold at action by the used car manager. Before they lie and state that I never spoke with them let's be clear you spoke with a *** and we have all call records and text to prove the conversations. So do not try it. I have also left a voice mail message with the *** on May 3rd and awaiting a response from him also. Below is a recap of the BS that has occurred just within two days: Sunday May 2nd Called initially and the internet salesperson wouldn't even let us discuss pricing. Had another individual call back and they were promptly allotted the opportunity to discuss purchase price and if there was room to discuss numbers. Once we were given over to the "***" *** then we were given the run around over which the price was increased by 3,700 because they had a *** from the Cadillac Dealership that they could not explain what was done and they could not lose out on $7000 dollars. (Still does not make sense)We left a complaint under the Talk to the *** section on the dealership page. Monday May 3rd *** from sales contacted *** and stated we could have the car for the original price. We asked for a walk around video which was promised on Sunday but never received. There was a few back-and-forth calls between this time in which *** insisted that we had to finance through their dealership because they could beat the interest rate that *** provided. We completed the form for financing in which my credit was dinged. He stated he was working with finance and would call us back promptly. Then communicated went silent. He blocked our numbers or cut his phone off. I contacted the *** location and was transferred to the s VM and provided the finance manager *** phone number.*** advised that he could not discuss anything with me and that they would not accept payment from *** because they only deal with inhouse financing. He would not provide me any information stating that the manager *** would have to provide the information because he was not aware of what deal was made.At this point *** from sales called *** back stating that the car was sold in auction that morning.Which we still figure is a lie due to all other lies that have been told.

I am 74 years old and have bought /sold many cars. I had a "VIP appointment" to see a used car that i was interested in. This was the worst car-buying that I have ever had! Will never go back there.
I recently bought a car from this dealership. I agreed to pay the sticker price. When presented with papers, it was about *** $ more than the sticker price. I was told that included the extra packages, (that I didn't want) and the fact that this was a "rare" car. (Never did figure out that one) My husband and I agreed to split some of the difference. They said that was not good enough, so we left. About a mile down the read they called us and agreed to our price. We then were told it would take about 15 to 20 minutes to talk to the financial guy. It took 4 hours of waiting. Every time we inquired, we were told, Oh, just a little bit longer. I fully think this was orchestrated as a "punishment" for not going along with their price in the first place.
I have been a customer of this location for over 11 years having purchased 2 from Napleton (and the one that purchased before it was the same location but a different owner). I had scheduled an appointment to drop off my 2018 Jeep Compass at 8:30am. They were going to run diagnostics based on my concerns and contact me back. After 11 hours there has been zero communication from the service center - to include what is wrong with my vehicle, what services are recommended (and getting my authorization for those services), and when my car will be ready for pick up. I placed 5 telephone calls and 1 email with zero response. I am now without a car, with kids that I have to get back and forth to school and I am a stage 4 cancer patient that cannot be without a vehicle for whatever undisclosed amount of time the dealership holds my vehicle hostage for. Based on the other customer reviews it appears this *** as a whole doesn't care about their customers anymore. Also, I think it is unfair that they reviews do not allow for other customers to see which specific dealerships and locations they have had issues with.
I purchased a car in 2020 from a salesman who no longer works there that did a bait and switch. I test drove a 2021 *** was sent home in a loaner until they had the paperwork finalized, and then later on was given a *** Elantra SEL. I couldnt do anything about it because I was told they had already gotten rid of my 2019 ***. The true issues began a month after that. Since Ive purchased this vehicle it has had multiple issues from: shutting off multiple times, apple car play doesnt work, the sound in the speakers is faulty, and every time I take it back to be fixed; they try to sell me a new car. They kept my car at one point for over 30 days trying to fix the issue. I even went through *** corporate to have this car taken back because it is clearly a lemon (the girl working my case even agreed) and the dealership claimed to have fixed everything (which they in fact have not), which made me lose the case. Not true. There have been 4 recalls on this car that have NOTHING to do with the issues I mentioned above. The car is clearly a lemon and no one wants to fix the mistake. *** always said if there is an issue or another recall, to text him right away to have it addressed. I did, twice. This review is only scratching the SURFACE of other wild things that have occurred at this dealership from false promises, credit checks, license plate mix *** the body shop they use for repairs, you name it. Lies, lies, and more lies. Stay away from here, and dont trust anything they tell you. And if they promise you something, GET IT IN WRITING SIGNED by a manager and not a salesman because they will claim its not true.
ONE **** RATING IS BEING KIND!
ONE *** RATING IS BEING KIND!ABSOLUTELY *** car buying experience of my life! WHAT A ***!I drove almost 9 hours to purchase this car in *** from ***. When signing the final paperwork- *** couldn't get the price right on the car R get everything to balance out when I kept questioning his addition of the figures we arrived at vs his paperwork figures- I ended up having to purchase extra warranty because he told me he could not change the paperwork-and what a great deal I got on that warranty.They then proceeded to collect *** SALES TAX IN ***. Told them over and over I would pay it the next day when I went home-but *** INSISTED-said it was state law they had to collect it-which I still do not believe-so I gave them an additional $3,000.00 to transfer tags from my trade in and pay sales tax. Well-it took almost 5 months to get my car licensed and sales tax paid-(I bought it on JANUARY 5 and finally got correct paperwork the 4th week of APRIL-and I HAD *** AND TAG IT *** ALL! They did not even send my paperwork in to the *** until 6 WEEKS *** I PAID FOR ***! Then when I brought this fact up-it cost 25$ per month late fees-*** in the office tried to tell me the delay was due to my loan paperwork hadn't been approved or processed! Do you think they would let me pull out of that lot in a $50,000 car without loan approval? ***-the office staff was the most INEPT, ***, *** person I have EVER dealt with! She kept sending the paperwork to *** with different dates and figures on the sales receipt and the paperwork they had to provide to pay sales tax from. They sent it to the state all wrong first-the state sent it all back with a letter of all the things they had wrong and had to fix-They then sent it to me to go fix it-with the wrong figures and dates the second time! After I spent 3.5 hours in line at the license bureau, standing outside IN *** AND COLD- I had to call them AGAIN to tell *** the correct figures to put on what paperwork so I could pay sales tax! Now you would think a dealership out of state would AT *** LEAST be smart enough to call the other state to see what the procedure is and the cost is to achieve this task by mail. IT OK 5 months! AND ***Y OK 3 *** SEND *** AND PROPER PAPERWORK *** PAY TAXES AND *** MY ***. *** kept blaming *** for the delay-but if you do not put correct dates and figures on the paperwork-that is not due to covid-that is due to poor training, ineptitude, not caring, and plain laziness in not even verifying accuracy of these documents-especially after the 2nd and 3rd time!THIS PLACE IS A ***! *** ONE WANTED *** HELP-***Y PASSED *** BUCK-*** MANAGER *** WOULDN'T EVEN *** MY CALLS *** DISCUSS ***. He was seldom there when I asked for him-it took me calling *** 3 times before he finally answered my call. Then he would never take my call again. The only person in the whole place who even was polite and professional was the receptionist who answered the phone-I believe her name was ***. She listened to my complaint (*** up on me when I was upset after standing outside in the snow and cold 3.5 hours only to find she *** up the paperwork-AGAIN!)I would expect this from a shady fly by night car dealership-I guess the size of the dealership does not matter-shady is shady-unprofessional is unprofessional, and *** customer service is no customer service.This is what you can expect from this dealership. It would be different if I had had *** except the RECEPTIONIST who cared or would even talk to me or tried to fix this issue-unreturned phone calls and messages not tended to is what you can expect here. FINALLY the used car manager seen to my paperwork-after I told them what to do and which contract figures to use! ***-just ***!ONCE ***Y GET *** MONEY-***Y DO T ***E ABOUT *** CUSMERBUYER BEWARE!"

Please excuse this lengthy message, but it's about time these businesses are called out for their hypocrisy
Please excuse this lengthy message, but it's about time these businesses are called out for their hypocrisy. I purchased a 2020 Kia *** a year ago in October from Napleton *** located at ***. About a month or so ago, my sister and I were sitting in the drive-through of *** waiting to pick up my mothers prescription. While sitting there, my car started bouncing up and down and making strange noises. Finding this odd, I turned the car off and turned it on again. Once again the bouncing and noise started up. A few days later, the car began dragging as if it was going to stop. So, I called the dealership to schedule an appointment for them to look at the car. The earliest date they could give me was Wednesday, November 3rd, so I took it.Unfortunately, on Friday, October 22nd while heading home, the engine light appeared and the car started dragging again. This time it did stop and wouldnt start back up. After contacting roadside service, I was informed that the wait was 93 minutes before someone would arrive to tow my car to the dealership.I had to call my friend, *** to pick me up since passengers cant ride in the car due to COVID. A little more than an hour and a half later, the tow truck finally arrived. The following morning I received a call from the manager asking what was wrong with the car. So, I explained everything and he said he would check it out. A few hours later I received a call saying they couldnt find anything wrong with the car since the engine light wasnt showing. A few hours later I received another call saying they drove the car for 4 miles with no issues.The bottom line is I eventually had to get my car since they couldnt find anything wrong with it. Less than a week later it began dragging and pulling again. Fast forward to Friday, November 5th, and the engine light comes on again. Worried that I would be stranded, I drove the car straight home and parked it in the garage. However, I called to speak with a manager to let them know the same issue was happening again. The following morning I received a call from the site manager inquiring about my call. After explaining what happened, we decided that I would bring the car in on the afternoon of November 10th. However, on Sunday morning, November 7th, I was making a grocery run, and on my way back; not only did the engine light come on but the battery and oil light did as well. To prove that I wasnt making anything up, I grabbed my phone and took pictures to prove that I wasnt hallucinating. Fed up with the fact that theyd sold me a lemon, I went to the dealership the following morning (11/8) to get this issue cleared up once and for all. I was directed to the service manager, ***, who informed me that he had too many obligations to work on my car and had no idea when he could get to it. Needless to say, I walked out. After doing some research, I discovered the cheapest rate for a one-week car rental was at least $500, which is more than my monthly note. Considering neither the dealership nor my insurance company would reimburse me, theres no way I was going that route, especially when they still expect me to make a car payment, even when they know my situation.Then an all too accommodating salesman was too happy to offer me a trade. Once they realized that my car was *** dollars underwater, I was informed that I would have to pay upwards of 600 dollars per month for a new car because the *** dollars would be added to the sales price of a new car. Once he realized that wasnt going to happen, his accommodating attitude turned to one of annoyance and therefore wanted nothing more to do with me.Before leaving, I called Kias consumer line to let them know about my disappointment, frustration, and dismay at how Id been treated. Not to mention that Ive been a customer of that location since 2011 and have purchased 5count it, 5 cars from them. A Kia *** 3 Kia *** and now a Kia ***. To be cast aside like trash has proven that loyalty means nothing to these companies. Its a What have you done for me lately world for these businesses, and I refuse to let them get away with it. They sold me a lemon and I will not stop until a satisfactory resolution and termination of this relationship has met its end.Sincerely yours, Never again
On Jan 6 2021 I had been in contact with the dealership regarding stock #H1611A
On Jan 6 2021 I had been in contact with the dealership regarding stock #H1611A. I first reached out to confirm the vehicle was still on the lot and besides tax,title and license, what other fees were added to the price, in which I was told they add a 199.00 document fee and yes the vehicle was available. I scheduled a test drive for later in the day. I was dealing with Will, he got me set up for a test drive. I have driven several other of these vehicles and knew I liked them already it was just about finding the right one, which after the drive and seeing the vehicle, I knew I had found the right one. I already had/have a preapproval from a bank that I've used to purchase vehicles with before, which I let them know that prior to me arriving. I am an informed buyer and I let Will know that according to KBB they had the vehicle overpriced by about 600.00. I let him know that if they could get that price in the KBB suggested range we would be good to go. Doing the normal salesman thing he goes to see his "manager" comes back and tells me that KBB is not accurate, they do not know anything about buying and selling vehicles because they do not buy or sale vehicles. He brought me back this sheet from some other vehicle appraisal place (something I'd never heard of before) and told me they were actually below what they should be selling it for. Ok. Whatever, 600.00 isn't a deal breaker although now I feel that he is being kind of slimy. Now with this non KBB sheet he also brings me a sheet showing me my payment for 48 months with 20% down, which was about double the amount I am looking to pay, so I stated, well we already have our financing and this is the amount we are putting down. He again disappears, comes back and tells me that my #s that my chosen lender aren't accurate, they don't account for taxes, fees, etc, in which I had to again correct him and state yes they do, and I had to show him, again my letter with all of the information (mind you, I've used them before and I know what they pre approve has come back nearly on the dot each time I have used them). Again he disappears comes back and states that he just wanted me to know that he cant "certify" the vehicle because he isn't a Hyundai dealer (the Hyundai dealer is their sister lot next door, which is where he had to go get the car from when I arrived for my test drive). I said well the fact that it is listed as a CPO online is one of the main reasons I came to see it, so do I need to go next door? He replied yes and that he had to go tell his manager. HE comes back again and said ok we can head on over but I just want you to know before we get over there that the price listed doesn't include the certification. I said what? I said the car is advertised as CPO, there's a giant sticker on the car that says Hyundai certified and when I asked this morning what fees would be added to the vehicle I was told a 199.00 document fee. I said that seems like false advertising to me, in which he agreed. I said well if they have to lower the price, then to add the fee for the certification we are fine, but I was told the price ahead of time and if you wont honor that we will leave. So yet again he disappears and come back with a woman that is supposedly from next door at Napleton Hyundai, it was clear from the beginning she wasn't interested in selling us this vehicle as when she was walking up she stated that she "didn't want to waste our time, and that the fee must be charged". I again explained to her that the car is advertised as CPO, the sticker saying such is on the car with the price, and besides tax, title and license the 199.00 document fee was all that was to be added. She stated that I was given wrong information and she would take my concerns to her manager and asked if there was anything else should could help with. To which we replied, no thank you and we left. My husband is a sales manager for a Fortune 500 company and told me on the way home that if any of his sales associates treated this potential customers that way, they would need to look for another job because sales/customer service/satisfaction is clearly not the right job for them. The way that Will and this mystery woman from next door handled our potential business is why people dread going to car dealership. False advertising and just being slimy and honestly acting criminal, especially during a pandemic is beyond shameful. I will never again even look at a vehicle from any Napleton lot, anywhere.
I purchased a 2017 Chevy Malibu LT back on (February 10th) of this year
I purchased a 2017 Chevy Malibu LT back on (February 10th) of this year. The day after I have notice that they're was a thumping noise in the drivers rear tire. So I called the dealership and spoke with the salesmen and told him the problem I was having with my vehicle. He stated it was because the vehicle hasn't moved for sometime it should stop once I keep driving. I told him I don't know much about cars but I know a cars should never ever make this noise! He told me give it a few days and call back if it haven't stopped. So I did, I called back on the (14th of February) and at the time my salesman was not there and they did not know when he would be back. So I gave it about a week and called back and at this time the Corna Virus has surfaced in Illinois and things were starting to get rocky in the Care giver field which is were I work, so I couldn't bring my car in for three months. But I have called them to try and speak to someone in the service department. I was told by one of the advisers to bring my car in on (June 1) to be checked out. That day that I have arrived the advisor was a young guy and was also rude and lacked customer service skills! He Told me ("we can't help you, we do not work on chevy cars here") and then walked away from me like we were done talking. I see he was not the person that I need to speak with, So I spoke with the service manger. He told me that it is a Chevy vehicle and he is not sure of was causing the issue. He asked me if we can go on a ride to see if he can hear the thumping sound. We went on a ride and he heard the same thumping sound that I was describing to him and the other advisor. I realize you can barely hear the noise when two or more people are in the vehicle when driving. We arrived back at the dealership from our ride and he told me "(vehicles that are not Honda vehicles and are used get sent out for inspection and if their is something minor that need to be fixed on the vehicle the Dealership manger will get it sent out to get fixed and then bring it back to sell") Then he suggested that I take my vehicle to General Motors or Chevrolet to have them check it out. Because their was nothing that Ed Napleton Oak Lawn could do. So I have took my car to General Motors near my home and they told me they think is it the shocks. Next I took my car over to Chevrolet near my home and they wanted to charge me over $300 to even look at my car. So I took it back to my trusted mechanic and replaced the shocks like General Motors said and my mechanic looked at me and said ("we don't think its the shocks")I exhausted and asked them to just change them please, and that did not help the noise was still there . So the next day I called Ed Napleton Oak Lawn and told the Service Manager that I have done all that you told me and the problem is still here, and I demand that something will be done about this. He told me "( We just hired a new mechanic and he works on all vehicles he can look at your car for you! Bring it in on this day") which I did and they have kept me there for 6 hours before any has came out to tell me anything. Out comes the new mechanic and he told me ("i think it is the drivers rear suspension unit and we are going to order you a new one, we're are going to put the tire back on and you are all good to go, we will call you when it is in") . And just walked away like that. Days turned into weeks and I haven't received not one phone call with a signal update with information on the part that was ordered. So on one day I just got tired of waiting and I called the Dealership and was hung up on by the young advisor and then by his other coworker who seemed to not be having a good day. I have gave it a rest and then called back asking to speak to the someone else and the gentlemen that I spoke with told me "( I don't see anything order for you") and then gave me an attitude and hung up on me. Called back again and spoke with the Service manger and told that their was apart order for me, he just don't know when it will get to the dealership. So I have not choice but to wait. So in that time I took my car to Meineke and let them inspect the drivers rear tire and I was told there was nothing wrong with the Knuckle suspension unit. Ed Napleton Oak Lawn was going to have me pay for a part that I did not even need. What I would like to see happen? I would like to get my money back for my trade in and also get my money back spent on the shocks that I was told that I needed, and last be placed in a different vehicle at another dealership because Ed Napleton Oaklawn does not car about me as a customer!
This is the worst car buying experience I have EVER had
This is the worst car buying experience I have EVER had. It started off great, bought a vehicle on May 28th, sales person was great! Went to finance and signed papers, specifically told finance I did NOT want anything additional, no Gap, no GPS, no Extended Warranty, nothing... all good right... NOPE!I am home looking at my paperwork and I notice the finance person charged me an additional $129 for a GPS service warranty that I clearly said no too. I had to go back into Napleton and request my money back, with interest. The finance person on the down low paid me cash through Venmo and said it was late, must have been a mistake. NOOOOO, not a mistake, how about shady finance deals.Then on top of that, I drove the Jeep for a week or two and had some issues. Called and called and called, and I say that because no one ever answers the phones. Finally get in touch with someone and they tell me we will have your sales person reach out to you. Why would sales call me about the service issues I am currently having, but okay at least someone is going to call me right... So I get in touch with my salesperson on June 25th explain the issues and set up an appointment for June 29th. Well the issues kept happening and I did not feel safe driving the vehicle so I text the sales person this information and I called and called and called and the sales person talked to the manager and figured out a loaner for me to have till they would be able to look at the vehicle the next week when my appt. was scheduled for. When I got to the dealership to drop off my jeep, I was put in a loaner that had no gas and was dirty and the sales person said, "if you could put gas in it I will just venmo you". So I drive the loaner for a week or so with no calls, I text my sales person asking for an update since by appt. was the 29th and I was told they are doing diagnostics on it and that takes a long time. Okay I will go with that even though I clearly am not stupid. So I go up to Napleton on the 30th (next evening) because again, no one ever answers calls. I talk to the service advisor who tells me that it has not even been looked at, they are 4 weeks out. Now I am really aggravated, the sales person told me they were doing diagnostics but the advisor is now telling me they have not even looked at it. I left and the next morning I text the sales person and explain my frustration and that I can not do this any longer, this is a brand new vehicle I have had less then a month and I would like to just give it back. That's when the manager and the service advisor called me. They explained they would look at my car first thing the next day and call me with an update. The next day I did get a call from the service advisor explaining the stereo has a glitch and they will have to get me a new one ordered from Chrysler. There seems to be no other issues they could find and I could get my vehicle back while they were waiting on the stereo. So I went and got my jeep. A few weeks went by and every time I called I was unable to reach anyone so I stopped by Napleton one afternoon to ask about the stereo and was told that everything was on back order it would be a while. I called on the 2nd of August and reached someone who said service was not answering but I was able to leave a message for them, which I did.An employee called me back that same day but I missed her call and she left a message that the stereo is in (why am I just now finding this out) but they don't have loaners, however they will Uber me if I am okay with that but she needed me to call her back to set up arrangements. I called her back and left a message that same day asking for another return call and heard nothing back. Called again over the next few days unable to get in touch with anyone. Finally on the 9th of August I get a hold of the employee and explain I was calling her back regarding my stereo that is in. She wants to know if I have dropped the vehicle off? WHAT ? My answer was you called me and said you had no loaners you would have to talk to me about it and I have left messages for you and you have never called me back? Her answer "I was out at a funeral"... well guess what, not my problem, if you are out you should have a back up. After a week of no calls I do not accept that answer. She set up my appointment, was rude during the entire process and I ended the call not really sure if I have a loaner, how long this will take to get my vehicle fixed or anything else. I am beyond frustrated with this place, I will never buy anything from them EVER. It's horrible and they do nothing to even try to compensate for the mistakes they have clearly made through the process.
This is the WORST dealership
This is the WORST dealership. I turned in my lease in March 3 weeks before COVID started. I got regretfully got into another lease with a newer vehicle. The first issue I had is I received a bill a month later for the Kia I traded in so I called Kia Finance and asked what's going on. I was told Napleton of Fishers never grounded my vehicle meaning no one at that store inspected my lease return and notified Kia Finance. So, I called the dealership and and left a message with the receptionist about my issue and of course no one called me back. I called the next day and spoke to Marvin who said Harrison is the one who grounds the car and he will call me later that afternoon when he gets in.No call back again. I called later that afternoon at the time Marvin told me Harrison will be in and was told Harrison wasn't in yet. I called back again the next day and spoke to Matt who told me everything was taken care of. I asked Matt will I receive a bill for the vehicle since Kia Finance will send a final bill to me. Matt told me if I receive a bill to bring it in and he will take care of it. I just received my final bill in July and I owed $1500.00. I was shocked. I called Kia Finance Collection dept and asked why and was told by Howard that I still had 2 months worth of lease payments due and my excessive millage fee and a $400 trade in fee. I got the trade in fee removed because I am (was) a loyal Kia customer. I called the dealership on 7/24 the day I received my final bill and spoke to the receptionist and was told someone from finance will call me back. I called again when no one did and spoke to George who I found out later was nobody but a salesman and he told me he will call me back when he finds out what's going on. Of course he didn't. I called later that night leaving a message for George. On 7/24 I left 4 messages one being for the sales manager Mike ***t to call me so I can resolve this. Mike never called, no one did. Monday the 27th I decided to go in to the dealership and spoke with Christine the Finance Director ther, explained everything and the lack of phone calls being returned and she told me she will submit the request to pay off the remaining lease amount which was $700.00. I asked about the rest which was the excessive millage totaling about $315.00. I explained that in April Matt who still works at the dealership said if I have a bill to bring it in. I said here it is all $1500.00 of it. She said she first needs to contact the district manager for approval and said she or Matt will call me later that day or the next day, What do you know no one called me back. I spoke to Christine by phone (after leaving 2 messages with no call back) again on 7/29 and she told me that she realized the district manager wont be able to authorize that. What?!? but you told me he can. She said she was as we speak emailing the GM named Jody and he will be the only one to approve it and to tell him to approve the millage fee and to contact me to discuss it. What do you know again NO ONE called me. The GM Jody never called. I emailed Jody on Friday 7/31 and told him the situation and to call me. Never did. So today Monday 8/3 I have left 2 messages now for Christine whom I verified with the receptionist that she is working today and haven't heard anything. To make matters worse and more money I have had to pay. When I traded in my lease and got into my new lease, the salesman or finance never put on my contract that I traded n a vehicle. I went to Indiana BMV and I had to pay over $500.00 to get my tags since my other traded in lease wasn't on my contract and my tags for that vehicle were due in July I never received any credit from March to July. Incompetent to say the lease these salesmen are and shows they only care about the sale. These people are the worst. All they care about is the sale and NOT their customers. If you have any issues they will not call you back and I think they hope that I will go away which they have no idea that I will fight this. Christine did tell me that Matt has had an issue before telling customers if they receive a bill to bring it in and he will take care of it. The only way you actually talk to someone is if you walk into the dealership. This is difficult for me because they are on the other side of town I never go on. I will however keep trying to get the money they owe me for my bill. DO NOT GO TO NAPLETON KIA IN FISHERS INDIANA. They make false promises and lie to you in order to get your business. Take your hard earned money somewhere else. These people will rip you off! One final thing I just called the number on this site Napleton Group. I was told there is no corporate office to complain to LOL. I left a message with a Deanna at this Napleton Group lets see if she will call me back. I have no faith in that she will. I think Napleton in general is shady.

My husband inquired about a '20 Kia Telluride that had been leased in 2019 (white exterior/black interior) with roughly 8400 miles at the Napleton Kia in Fishers, IN. He spoke to Klaryssa on the phone around 9AM. He called 12:30n CST and said we'd be there 3:30p EST. Klaryssa introduced us to Carlos. We took the vehicle for a drive without him. We immediately noticed yellow paint smeared on back passenger door and bumper (as if someone hit something). Radio, AC worked, but there were broken/missing pieces, dirty windows & interior, trash, pet fur, but more noticeably, the glove compartment had mens cologne, masks, fast food receipts stemming from 2/25 (it was 3/5), papers from a child's after school program, open bag of peanuts, basically what you would find if it was someones personal vehicle. The mileage was 1k miles over what their website said. We told Carlos and he brought out the GM (I forgot his name, but started with an R.) He said he was embarrassed and it was bad business. Showing his disgust, the GM started throwing F bombs and talking rudely about the employee who was taking the vehicle and using it for his own personal use. We were upset as they had ample time to clean and prepare the vehicle, but GM said he would offer us an AMAZING deal so we stayed. He assured us the paint could be buffed out. The vehicle went to detailing. Carlos wanted us in a private room to talk, but we declined. 45 min later, the vehicle was ready. The only difference was the glove compartment was cleaned and trash picked up. Other than that, the same. I asked Carlos about the '21 Telluride we saw on the lot when we arrived. Our attention drew to the MSRP which was the same as the '20. The wrapping was still on the head seats as well as other parts of the vehicle. I jokingly asked what the catch was. He said it was because its FWD, but we should buy the newer vehicle and there's no catch. He suggested a test drive. We did. Bluetooth/radio/AC/ everything looked great. Inside, Brian presented #'s for each vehicle. They were disgustingly off. They upped the '21 by $10k because it was a sought after vehicle and were hard to come by. We had heard of this but this wasn't told to us upfront only hours later when we were presented with papers. I told Brian to go back and give us the amazing deal the GM promised. He came back an hour later offering us a $700 check that we could take somewhere to fix the passenger door and bumper where the yellow damage was- we'd have to cover the rest. I laughed & told my husband we're being played and should leave. They asked to rework a few numbers, I agreed. When they came back, I noticed Brian had an airpod in his ear. I told them I wanted to talk to my husband privately. I observed Brian removing the airpod when they left. Hmm. Hour later, they said they would give us what we wanted for the '21 if we gave them a 5 star review. Nathaniel, finance. In walks Brian with his one airpod in and sits down. I thought it was odd as no salesman had ever sat-in during this process. I noticed the plan we wanted had half-synthetic oil checked off. He made a few calls and said you're right, we'll change it. Nathaniel asked us for the key to look under the hood. During this time, I so happen to look up the reviews of this place (shame on us for not looking earlier). I decided to talk about the reviews and how fees were being thrown in there unbeknownst to the customer. Nathaniel must have not heard me correctly and started to say "we would never do this. As you can see, other dealerships are throwing in fees." I cut him off and said, "No, those are reviews about YOUR dealership." He didn't reply. 30 min later, we take a break to look at the vehicle more. Nathaniel came to us and said "come tomorrow and finish the deal- the vehicle will be here all day." (He's saying this about a vehicle they upped the price $10k because it was hard to come by and "flying off the lot.") We said no. Nathaniel said "okay, let's go sign some papers." Nonchalantly, he asked us for the key again. That raised our eyebrow. He said he needed to check the shipping mode. My husband said the radio worked and we drove it. We go back into his office and in walks Nathaniel w/o Brian, sits down and tells us the shipping mode is ON at 79%. We can buy it, but cannot take it home because it's too late to inspect it. We lost it. It was 9:30pm and we wasted 3 hrs on a vehicle. Why we were able to test drive and discuss #'s about a vehicle for 3 hrs only to be told it wasn't fully inspected and cannot take home is beyond me. Make your own assumptions about this as we've made ours. We're glad we didn't buy from them, but wow, what a waste of time! Left 12PM and came home 12AM. Worth noting, we called the numbers on the business cards instead of the number they keep posting on every review to "discuss our experience." All claimed we had the wrong number/person.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Here is my all too common experience with the Lansing Napleton location
Here is my all too common experience with the Lansing Napleton location. Absolutely horrible customer service. I dropped my jeep off Thursday October 21 for service on my air bag suspension. Was told they'd call me the next day to let me know what is going on. I asked about a loaner, which they've always given me in the past, and they said they're low on cars and there's a long wait list for them. I left and received an automated message saying to contact this number with any concerns or questions and to ask for ***. The next day came and there was no call but figured it wasn't a problem since I was out of town till Sunday.I called Monday October 25th at 915 am and was told they'd call me back to let me know what was going on. I called back several hours later but the phone just rang and rang once I was transferred to service. I tried messaging the number they gave but received no response. At about 7 pm I went there and spoke to someone who said they had lost my keys. This was now the first time I was hearing about this after my car had been there for 5 days. She said she'd look for them the next morning and give me a call. I never received a call the next day so I tried contacting them. I received a call back saying *** would be contacting me in regards to the loaner. I waited but never received a phone call so I called around 430. The phone rang and rang and was forwarded to 3 different people who couldn't help. I texted the number but received no response. The next day I went in and spoke with someone. I asked for *** who was the person who had sent me the original text because as far as I knew he was the service technician I was supposed to be speaking with. The employee I spoke to pointed at someone and said that's ***. I went to speak with *** as he was passing me and asked if he's ***. He mumbled something, walked past me and threw his arms up in the air in front of the other employee. I went back to the first employee, who witnessed this, and I said, "well *** just threw his arms up and mumbled something, so now what?" He helped me for a bit and was able to get *** back. *** eventually helped me and was able to provide me with a loaner. He said they're waiting on the approval of the after market warranty company and would keep me informed. After a day or 2 I called back and spoke with *** who told me he's still waiting. I told him that I was going out of town November 2 through the 11th and if the car can be done before that it would be beneficial to us both. He said he can't make promises but would try. Nov 2nd came and nothing so I went on my trip. I tried to call a couple of times while on my trip because I remembered that my fob would work intermittently. Ive tried changing the battery and used different fobs but the problem persisted so I figured they could look at this too but was never able to get a hold of anyone. I didn't receive 1 phone call or text till November 10th saying that my car is ready and that tomorrow, the 11th, I would be responsible for paying for the loaner after that. I felt this was unacceptable and texted him that he knew I was going out of town and I still needed my fob serviced. He did not reply. I came back from out of town late the next day so I went in on November 12. I picked up my vehicle and paid $100 for the warranty and luckily they didn't charge me for the loaner. I live 10 min away and about half way I noticed that my air suspension was not inflating. The light indicated that it was trying to inflate but wasn't doing so. I also noticed that the vehicle was now riding crooked due to the one deflated airbag. I brought it back and spoke with ***. I asked if I could have my loaner back so I could drop my jeep back off. He said that it would be best to come back next week since it won't be looked at till Monday anyways and the after market company will only authorize 5 days for the loaner. I told him I work 16 hours on Monday and will bring it back Tuesday. I also asked if he'd have a car for me to take on Tuesday and *** stated that I would and he'd take one off the lot for me if he had to.I came back Tuesday Nov 16th and was informed by *** that there were still no vehicles even after being assured I'd get one. He tried talking to his manager and tried other tactics but was unable to locate a car to loan to me. He said that if I bring my Jeep back Thursday Nov *** the morning that someone would look at it and hopefully able to fix it that day. Foolishly I agreed. Today is now Thursday Nov 18 and I dropped it off at 615 am. It is now 645 pm and I have not heard from anyone. I called, asked for service and the phone rang for 4 and a half minutes. I called back twice and received voice-mail twice. Im writing this as the phone continues to ring and just got hung up on. Not sure what is going on over there but this must be a Napleton thing because I've never experienced this anywhere else. I've even heard numerous employees state how ill prepared they are there and how 10 out of 12 of the service technicians are planning on leaving in the coming months. None of this would ever have been an issue if they loaned me a vehicle like they promised. So now I'm trapped at work and forced to take an uber back home. Stay tuned for updates. "Second to none since ***" my a
Good evening,RE: Napleton Automotive Group
Good evening,RE: Napleton Automotive Group. I know they have their lies to combat this just like they have done with other customer complaints- But the facts are facts. Below is what I sent to the *** Exists in your state and I have searched and I havent seen where much has been reported about their predatory sales tactics in your paper. To advertise one price and then increase the price by over $5000 is more than an integrity issue.I am writing with the hopes that your journalist can highlight this crime. I know they may be a big sponsor for you but they are also preying on the innocent and disadvantage.I thought I was crazy but then I realize they have an amazing PR machine from their rapid response on Complaintsboard.com. The complaints are consistent for the few that even bother to complain. Napleton group response is fast and furious and as such has a psuedo good rating from Complaintsboard.com.This tells me that the Complaintsboard.com in itself is flawed rating the business as A+ while customers rate them 1.14/5 and that is only because there is not an option for 0!Web link - 227 reviews and mine should make 228.Napleton Automotive Group | *** | complaintsboard.com Profile (***)With that as the backdrop, I ma in the market for a car and found one on *** and it was also listed on *** The price had recently dropped and was competitive. I started calling the dealership to get a purchase agreement to take to my bank to get the loan and go get the car. I contacted the branch in *** several times and when I was not hung up on I was told twice I would have to come in for the sales agreement.I called and email the headquarters and a Man by the name of X- Sales *** called me back and talked for 10 minutes not stop, telling me a bout the napelton advantage and things they do to the car and that the car was $6000+ below car guru value because of all these things they added. He said there was a disclaimer/addendum on the website stating that the vehicles are more. After he unwind I said what is the cash price for the vehicle. He said it would be about $3000 more. I said ok please send me the cash price. He promised he would and also text so that I have his sell number. About 45 minutes later he texted.I will add the thread below for you to see. The vehicle with an internet Price of $33,878 was now $41,977.60. ( I cant add screen shots on Complaintsboard.com) I have asked for the addendum/disclaimer on the website explaining the above bit with no luck so far. I dont know the laws/rules in *** or wherever that govern car sales. But this is awful to allow this to continue. I have copied screen shots of the texting between the Sales *** and myself.Thanks in advance if you are able to allocate resources to investigate thisHere is the transcript of the text messages:***, this is X at Napleton's ***.

Ed Napleton Automotive Group Complaints 13
My *** Elantra 2017 has been at Napletons Auto Park of Urbana since January 14th 2022 for a broken timing chain and damaged cylinders
My *** Elantra 2017 has been at Napletons Auto Park of Urbana since January 14th 2022 for a broken timing chain and damaged cylinders. *** is the service representative Ive been working through. On the 18th of January I was called and informed of the diagnosis. I gave them information on the extended warranty and was told they would contact the warranty company for pre-approval before repairs would be made. February 1st I was informed that the service rep has not been able to get in touch with the warranty company and he has been on hold multiple times and left messages without receiving a return call. On March 10th *** informed me he had talked to someone about my warranty and they said I did not have an open contract on my vehicle. I contacted the dealer where I purchased the vehicle, Courtesy Motors in ***, . The service rep from courtesy contacted *** at Napletons and tried to assist with the pre-approval. *** went so far as to start a claim for the vehicle and provided Napletons with the claim number. *** informed me he was again unable to speak with a warranty service contact. On May 10th I had decided to have the vehicle towed to Courtesy where I had purchased the vehicle but after talking with ***, a service rep for Courtesy Motors, I was told the vehicle would have to go to Napletons anyway because the repairs would require special tools for the vehicles make. *** decided they would call the warranty company and have the work sublet to Napletons. The only thing he needed from Napletons was an estimate for repairs. On July 13th I called the service departments manager *** and he informed me that he has talked to *** multiple times about my vehicle and two weeks before *** had tried to send the estimate to *** but there was a technical issue and all data had been deleted... I've been waiting since 08/11/22 for the estimate that I was informed had been completed again to be emailed.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I drive a 2017 *** Elantra my paint started peeling I purchased the car from the dealer brand new. I contacted the dealer multiple time. Starting in the Summer every time the service people stated that I could not bring it in because they are not body shop. I called the Cooperate stated that I would need to have the dealer look at my vehicle and see the issues and submit a claim and that they could not do anything. I finally called the dealer and requested to speak with a Manager or a Sales Manager. He informed me that the *** Should look at my Vehicle and submit the claim. I took the car in around January. They stated that they would split the cost of the bill between me and the dealership. This happened on 01/11/2023. I have not been given any information on the claim including the cost. I have tried numerous to call the dealership and no one is returning my calls. I have tried their direct line and the automated system. I have left multiple message with the *** and they have not returned any of my phone calls. I would like to information on if the claim was submitted correctly and they should be responsible for total repairs. I would like someone to contact me with detailed information
Very disappointed with my experience here. My wife and I purchased 2 separate vehicles on a lease. The dealer did not disclose the 37% rent charge that was added, along with inflating the price of both vehicles by over $3,000 above agreed price on each vehicle. The finance department advised me the cost of the vehicle would be sticker price and what the payment would be as a result. They did not present a price break down prior to requiring signatures, which took place after being at the dealer for over 7 hours. Even the figures that are presented on the contract that was provided well after signatures were signed is thousands of dollars inflated. ZERO CONSISTENCY.Over both vehicles if I choose to continue with them, I will be over paying by well over $20,000 than I should be.I would NEVER recommend this dealer to anyone and if you do choose to purchase a vehicle demand a price break down prior to signing or agreeing to anything!
I did not receive the mechanical key I should have been given when purchasing a new vehicle from Napleton on December 13, 2022. We have texted and called multiple times requesting the key and have received nothing but lies and indifference regarding the key. We were assured twice that the key was mailed yet two weeks later no key has been received. Very disappointing response to something that was the dealerships fault. We simply want a new key and the false promises to stop.
After receiving confirmation on a pre-qualified offer from a lender to purchase a used vehicle from this dealership I visited their location to confirm the vehicle's availability and to go through the process of financing it. After arriving and waiting to be assisted and going through the "sales" process I specifically asked them to submit their application directly to *** (the willing lender) as they had already set the terms I needed. After a long time they came back out and lied to me, stating *** had made a "mistake" and were only willing to offer different terms for the vehicle. I did not agree to these terms and left the dealership. When I reach out to *** to confirm if Napleton Volkswagon of *** had submitted their application, they confirmed they had not received and information from the dealership, meaning, the dealership submitted my application to one of their OWN lenders, cause a hard inquiry on my credit score, and refused to submit the application to ***. They lied and refused to do business with me through a willing lender in order to pursue a deal for one of their partners or themselves. In the process causing a hard credit inquiry under my name with no intention of doing business with me.
We began working with Napleton *** in fall 2021
We began working with Napleton *** in fall 2021. On 2/7/2022 we placed a $1000 deposit on a vehicle and were told it would take 2-3 months and theyd contact us when it was in. In early June, we saw our vehicle for sale on their website so we contacted them and were informed we could come in that next week to pick it up. On 6/8/2022 we completed our transaction, but not without the dealership attempting to manipulate the transaction. We made it very clear our number one priority was the lowest interest rate, and wed put more money down if needed to achieve it and *** advertised ***%. We repeatedly asked what our interest rate would be and they stated we could discuss in finance. When we got to finance theyd already finalized paperwork and when beginning to fill out paperwork we discovered they were trying to charge us ***%. I stated wed walk away from the transaction at that interest rate which is when the finance *** stated oh, are you able to put more money down? We placed another $1,000 down and were able to secure the advertised rate. They stated titling paperwork wouldnt be ready for *** days, so we finished paperwork and headed home. 3 weeks passed, so we contacted them again and they stated paperwork was not ready yet and theyd contact us when it was as the *** was experiencing delays. We waited until early august and contacted napleton *** again when miraculously our title was available despite them not contacting us about it. We brought the title to the *** to license our vehicle and were assessed a $50 late fee. I contacted the *** on 8/11/2022 and he stated theyd refund the $50 and hed have his sales manager (***) do so. 3 weeks passed so I contacted again and *** stated Im cutting a check right now would you like it mailed or pick up? I asked for it to be mailed. On 10/30/2022 after still not receiving the check I contacted napleton again, and as of 11/14/2022 no contact from napleton.

I bought a car from napleton *** of ***. And was told if I had LoJack on my car it "would" lower my insurance. Turns out insurance in *** don't recognize LoJack. I was lied to,to be scam me out of other $500. Just because I was told it would lower my insurance
Purchased a used vehicle, 2015 Dodge Ram ***, stock # FWHO3189, from Napleton *** of Fishers on 8/5/22. Vehicle has a TPSM (tire) light on, and check engine light. Was told both would fixed. Returned for service on 8/18/22, worked with *** in Service. Was told parts on back order due to supply chain issues, and would be at least *** days before parts arrived. Jan 26, 2023, called to check on parts with ***, was told by *** Manager, *** no longer employed and parts were never ordered. *** stated he would investigate and call back shortly. No call received on 1/26, left voicemail for *** on 1/27, 2/1 and 2/6, again all with no return calls.I have attached a copy of the original service order from 8/18 for $1286.47 for the original work order. Same work order signed by Napleton ***, General *** Manager, "WILL REPAIR CHECK ENG LIGHT + TPMS LIGHT.I am asking for cash/check refund in the amount of $1286.47 be returned so I may take my vehicle elsewhere for service as agreed to in writing from Napleton
And the maintenance department has had my car for over a month. It was dropped off January 5 and it is now February 8. My car was there for almost 2 weeks before they even looked at it. I called several times and then finally was told that my battery needed replaced so I asked them to replace my battery and they said they would and that they would get back with me. Three days later they got back with me and told me That I had electrical issues and that they were going to check it out and let me know what was wrong with it I called back again because I had not heard anything and they told me that the equipment that they used to try to find out what was wrong with my car had melted so I responded and asked them if they hooked it up incorrectly because from my experience machines, dont just melt for no reason he assured me that his technician did everything correctly and that they were waiting on the part. It is now February 8. I still have not heard a single word, and they still have my car. I asked for a loaner vehicle and I was told they didnt have any available and if they did I would have to pay over $40 a day!
I have tried to contact the service department for 4 days for service on a new tire as covered by my warranty and told the service department was unable to answer my call and they would call back, but they never did. I had to pay out of pocket to get my tire fixed at a tire shop instead because of this. I have tried calling them about a separate issue (upcoming service appointment that was automatically scheduled for me after purchase of a new vehicle) and was told I would be called back and, again, no call back.
We purchased certified-used Acura MDX at Ed *** last Oct29 '22
We purchased certified-used Acura MDX at Ed *** last Oct29 '22. Paid for extended warranty as well. We received AcuraCare card/packet 1st week of Dec'22. Dec14 '22 we called AcuraCare costumer service to clarify warranty coverages and found out that our MDX is registered under different name and address. Called Ed *** finance staff (***), he said he'll take care of it. By end of the day he emailed me with Application for Coverage stating that they register our contract but will take about 10days to get into the system. I have been calling AcuraCare to know if it did get processed. As of Jan19 '23, our car is still not registered under any warranty coverage per AcuraCare contract *** Even AcuraCare reach out to *** through email (Dec19'22) to assist with the process. They have not responded to them either until now. I called, emailed, and texted multiple times, *** (Dec) and then *** (Jan).AcuraCare had advice me each time I call them, to directly contact the general manager instead. Unfortunately that seems to be a harder route. We are 4hr drive from dealership. Please have some consideration. And honestly how long and how complicated it is to process registration of vehicle warranty at AcuraCare? Having warranty (certified or extended) should provide you peace of mind.There has not been any, since we found out that we don't even have any warranty coverage. What if we ran into an accident? Does it need to happen before you provide us with what we paid for? I don't even want to dwell upon how we're misinformed about warranty coverage during the sale. We found out also about 60day cancellation policy for extended warranty.It's not like we are trying to get something that we did not paid for. This is getting ridiculously time consuming and frustrating. Give us peace of mind of having the well known AcuraCare plan and protection that was promised to us. Give us the actual AcuraCare coverage we paid for

I brought my car in because I had trouble getting it to start. My regular mechanic said it was electrical, and said the dealer should be able to pinpoint it quickly.I had an appointment for Tuesday 1/17 at 9:30am. They didn't even start looking at it until Thursday. They told me they couldn't replicate the problem, but it was likely the fuel pump, and recommended it replaced. I asked if they were sure it was the fuel pump and not electrical, they said absolutely, so I okayed the $1837 repair.They told me to come pick it up, and literally as soon as I got it home, it wouldn't start again.I made another appointment, dropped it off on Tuesday 1/24. I showed the service person (***) video and sent it to them via email of the problem. They didn't look at it until Thursday, and said they couldn't replicate the problem.I asked them then if they'd buy it. They transferred me to ***, who said when they plugged it in, so many problems showed up that it would be too expensive to repair and sell, so the best they could do was offer me $1,000 and sell it at auction.At that point, the red flags were just waving around, so I said I would just pick the vehicle up. I drove it right to another shop for another mechanic to work on it. I emailed the dealer explaining the above and asking for a refund. *** called me back and said I needed to bring it in for a third time. When I said I was uncomfortable because of the many reasons listed above, he said there was nothing he could do for me reimbursement wise since there's no proof of a problem.I did not expect full reimbursement; even though the problem wasnt fixed, I understand the dealership had to purchase parts for the work completed, so I only expected a refund of the labor and diagnostic costs.
I had an appointment on Dec 28, 2022 for an oil change on my ***. I brought with me a coupon for the oil change for $89.99 and planned to use a credit I had with this dealership for a $150 where they had charged me on a prior visit for a procedure they had no authorization nor was it warranted since the reason my vehicle had to go back was because they had installed a defective battery a month earlier. They refused to credit my credit card for the charge and I agreed to a credit on my account to use towards future service appointments. When I picked up my vehicle up they told me I only had $16.32 left of my $150 credit? They proceeded to tell me that their computer system would not allow them to use a coupon on an internal credit so they charged me for a full price oil change of $134. I asked to speak with someone else and they sent out an employee who claimed to be a manager named ***. I was very angry and told her I wanted the remaining credit on my account and she told me they could not do that? I was even more angry and told her that if she wouldn't give me my money back that I would agree to purchase three windshield wipers and we would call it even. She agreed and had the service advisor that had checked us in order them while we stood there. She said they would take a few days and she would call when they were in. She gave me her direct number and told me to call if I didn't here from her. I have called her and left messages at least 10 times and she has never called me back. I no longer need wipers since it has been over a month I had to purchase them from an auto discount store. This dealership has stolen $60 of my money. I will never go back to this dealership so I want the $60 refunded. They had the opportunity to make it right but obviously only told me that to get me to leave the dealership. I will upload a copy of my oil change invoice that shows the credit and where they acknowledge that they did not apply the coupon.
On November 29, 2022 I took my 2018 KIA *** in for an oil change ( which took over 2 hours). When then returned my car to me there were some scratches on the lower drivers door. I bought to the attention of the service advisor ***, who reviewed the video they had taken when I arrived. He admitted that the scratches were not there when they received the vehicle and that they would have it taken care. *** stated that since they did not have a body shop of site they would set up an appointment and notify me. I have never received a call from Kwante nor the service manager. I had dropped by the dealership 4 time speaking with both *** and the service manager ***. Both stating that weather permitting they would contact me to set an appointment. Calling leaving voice messages and texting ***, no response. I would my the scratches taken care of by a body shop and compensation for my time, inconvenience and stress this has cost me.

Wouldnt turn on or nothing , I called roadside assistance and had it towed to the nearest Jeep dealership, Remind you when I purchased the warranty (***) told me it would take affect in 30 days.

So I called *** and told them and they tell me to bring it to them to fix. My Jeep has been at the *** dealership for almost a month now , Ive been getting the run around ( Wrong parts delivered etc) Ive been without a car for almost a month , Constantly telling me they have a rental car for me but when its time to pick up , Theyve given it to someone else Where do I go from here?

I dropped off my vehicle on Tuesday, November 22 so that they can check my vehicle because the transmission was skipping
I dropped off my vehicle on Tuesday, November 22 so that they can check my vehicle because the transmission was skipping. On Friday, November 25th, I reached out to the Service Advisor, *** to get an update and he informed me that the part has been ordered. On Monday, November 28th, I followed up with *** and he informed me that it would be a few days for the partner to arrive. After several times of reaching out, I finally received and update from *** on December 5th informing me the part for my vehicle would arrive Dec. 19th. On December 19th, when I reached out to the ***, he informed me that the new date for the part to arrive will be December 26th. At this point, I had already paid for a rental from enterprise that I couldn't extend. I had to beg for *** and his team to provide me with a courtesy car while I wait for the part to arrive. I was able to pick up the courtesy car on the 20th but only for 15 days. According to the last update, I only needed the courtesy car for 6 days. On Dec. 26 when I reached out to ***, he informed me that now the part would arrive on January 9th but that I needed to return the courtesy car on January 3rd, once again leaving me without transportation. At that time I asked to speak with his manager for which he informed me that they were both on the phone listening, *** and ***. They informed me that it was not there responsibility to provide me with transportation and that the courtesy car will not be extended without me paying the rental amount. On January 3rd, when I dropped off the courtesy car, I once again asked for an update, *** informed me that the new date for the part to arrive would be Sunday, January 15th. After several times of trying to reach ***, I decided to call the dealership directly, *** informed me that new arrival date for the part is January 24th. I just need my vehicle repaired and returned. I would appreciate being reimbursed for the rental expense.

On June 22, *** my vehicle was towed to Napleton ***, .Upon I spy of my vehicle I was told my radiator needed to be replaced. As well as have my windshield washer pump replaced. I agreed to the repair and my warranty company approved the repair. After not do anything to my vehicle for 2 months, nor communicating with me i did a walk In visit only to find my car in the same place untouched. the service never answered the phone nor did they return any messages left by voicemail or text. When I finally got in touch with the service manager, I was told my cat will be pulled in and ready within 5 days. I drove to the service center to find my car in the same place it was 1 week prior. Now 2 weeks has passed and I was told as they were bring my car into the shop it started discharging white smoke from the tail pipe. This was not the issue when I had my car towed into the repair shop. It is now January 25th, *** possession of my car.

On Dec. 30, 2022 my Kia *** caught on fire due to a recall on this *** I towed my vehicle to this Kia *** and one of the representative informed me that this was cause by a recall. After 6 days We finally got a called from the Service Manage ***, to informed me that *** will not be covering the damage and that either i needed to pay out of pocket for the repair or pick up the vehicle. I had text message the service [person and ask if they can please put it into the extra warranty and did not get a answer. In the meantime I contacted *** and It wads another 3 weeks with false hope and after all this waiting they denied my claim. I contacted Guarantee Auto in Lasing, *** and after speaking to the manager *** and he suggested for me to get a attorney. I made him aware that I will also come after him for selling dangerous vehicle. and he responded with profanity and hung up on me. Pleas help me. I do not know what to do. Thank you
In April 2022 I bought a 2020 used Ram with *** miles on the truck. I did not get the extended warranty on the truck due to a promised 36k bumper to *** warranty and a 60k power-train factory warranty. The expectation and what was sold to me was a solid newer truck with no issues. In November 2022 my truck's parking break stopped working and in January the parking brake started locking up as a result of the malfunction. I was able to get the truck into *** January 6th in *** because it was much closer to me in ***. As a result, the dealership told me the truck had a salvage yard rear end (part of the power-train) put into it before I bought the truck. This repair cost $1800.00 to fix the emergency brake and *** also informed me that the serial numbers to the rear end did not match the truck info and it had clear yellow writing and zip ties still attached to the rear end with clear damage to the backing plates from being dropped out of another truck and placed in my truck clearly indicating a salvaged rear end and voided the power-train warranty. These repairs were done by certified union technicians at *** This information and previous repairs were not divulged to me by *** Napleton at the time of purchase whatsoever. I called numerous times and spoke to *** a sales manager, ***, a sales manager, *** the parts and service director. I also emailed *** the pictures of the salvo rear end and receipt for the repairs done. None of these people resolved the issue. They avoided any responsibility. I asked to be put in touch with the general manager and have not heard anything back. Not only am I out $1800 dollars, I am not guaranteed any coverage regarding the aftermarket salvage rear end which could result in thousands of dollars out of pocket if any further repairs need to be done. I want my money back for the *** warranty made good as promised upon purchasing the vehicle.
On May 14, 2022, I traded my 2015 *** Rogue in at Ed *** in ***, ** to purchase a 2014 GL 450 ***
On May 14, 2022, I traded my 2015 *** Rogue in at Ed *** in ***, *** to purchase a 2014 GL 450 ***). My salesperson was ***). I visited the dealership several times before making the purchase. I expressed some hesitancy in making the purchase but ultimately decided to move forward because *** assured me the car was in good repair, he said "***, that's a good car, there's nothing wrong with it". I purchased the vehicle and an extended warranty. A few days into driving the car I noticed a light ticking noise that became louder day by day. I contacted Ed *** to bring the vehicle in to have this matter addressed. I also read through all of the paperwork that came with the vehicle. I noticed that there was a repair declined at the time of inspection, prior to purchase. The repair had to do with an oil leak. I brought to their attention the assurance I received at the time of purchase that there were no issues with the vehicle and felt that it was a bit unethical to sell me the car without either telling me about the repair, which might have allowed me to either walk away or negotiate the price or take care of the repair. I spoke with ***, General Manager. He said that he understood that this was a repair they should be responsible for. I made an appointment to bring the car in, a loaner was provided. I was under the impression that they were going to take care of the repair. After a couple of weeks of not hearing anything, I reached out and, through my discussions/texts with the assigned mechanic (***) that this repair might be easier to make if they could use my warranty. It had a $500 deductible. I don't think my warranty should have been necessary but I said okay because they were going to cover the deductible and I just wanted my car back. I have been without my car this time for 2-3 months. There is no urgency on the part of *** or his team to cure this matter.

On January 8, 2022, I purchased a Tesla Model at Napleton Acura of *** and was sold a Long Range model by the sales ***
On January 8, 2022, I purchased a Tesla Model at Napleton Acura of *** and was sold a Long Range model by the sales *** but when I got home I found out that they had in fact sold me a Standard Plus range model with less battery life. I also discovered that the charging cable that purchased for $500 was not in the vehicle when I got home even though *** informed me via text that the charging cable was in the trunk of the car. When I spoke with *** that evening, he denied selling me a Long Range model. The long range model was listed for $43K while the Standard Range was listed for $41K and he informed me on the day of purchase that the Management had decided to discount the Long Range model to the same price as the Standard Range and reduce it to $41K and accepted the offer.The following day, I called the office and made a 2pm appointment that day with an office staff to meet with the General Manager of the dealership, ***, to discuss the issue. When I arrived for my 2pm meeting I was informed that the General Manager is not at office on Sundays and was instead met by the Sales Manager who refused to let me speak with the General Manager and was told that he knew where I worked and threatened to call my employer and get me fired when I insisted on speaking solely with the General Manager. In addition to threatening to get me fired from my job, the Sales Manager also threatened to call the police when I asked for his name. I am a black female who was thoroughly intimidated by the Sales Manager and appalled by his behavior, so I left. I visited the Tesla dealership on the same day to search my car for the charging cable and the Tesla Sales Rep who assisted me informed me that they get alot of customers who had purchased used Tesla from Napleton Acura of *** and were told they were getting a Long Range Model but found out they got a Standard Range when Tesla checked the car and had to return their car

I leased a new *** on 08/26 at the *** located at ***
I leased a new *** on 08/26 at the *** located at ***. I waited 4 days for the car to arrive to *** from a different location. I made a generous down payment on this car since it was one that I was looking forward to using as my form of transportation. I am currently paying 238 to lease and 161 to State farm Insurance. Some time after driving the vehicle it started having issues. The gears were not shifting correctly, it would stall, acceleration was delayed. It was incredibly dangerous to drive in these conditions. I first received an email from *** Bluelink on the 1st of December in 2021. This is what the email says: A possible condition with your Transmission Control System has been detected with you 2021 Sonata (***) on 12/01 at 03:37pm EST. The engine light would occasionally display itself and I would continued receiving these emails until I took it to get checked out at the *** in ***. They kept my car for a least a week, I was given a rental car in the meantime, but the issues were not fixed. I believe they blocked future emails that detected this issue. After the car was returned to me in the same condition it was before, it continued having issues. Then I decided to have it serviced at the *** dealership closer to home which is Napleton's North *** at *** Northlake Blvd. This was on or before February 2nd 2022. I was told that the would be in contact with me the day of to let me know if the car needed to stay overnight. I never received any updates no call or text. I had to repeatedly reach out and ask how my car was doing. Not once was I offered a rental. A week later on one of the days I called to find any updates, I was told that an ECU was ordered and it would arrive on Thursday -Friday, February 10 -11. It did not arrive, I was notified after having to call to ask again. Today is 02/24/2022 and my car is still not fixed. I need to be reimbursed or comp

Purchased a brand new Acura in August
Purchased a brand new Acura in August . From the moment we drove off the lot, the car had a defect -- whenever we drive on the highway / speeds of 65mph +, there is a constant clinking / popping noise. We have brought the vehicle to Ed *** on three separate occasions to be serviced, and each time they have told us "well, we're only allowed to drive 55mph so we haven't been able to recreate the issue, so sorry about your luck on your brand new vehicle." And told us to go on our way.To add to the complete unprofessionalism of the Ed *** staff: today, January 24, we took our vehicle to Ed *** to be serviced and they provided us with a loaner vehicle. When we spoke on the phone with a representative at approximately 4:30pm, he asked if we would be returning the loaner tonight because they were done servicing ours. I responded that we wouldn't be able to return it tonight because we (my wife and I) both work (and it's still during normal business hours) and have other conflicts this evening and wouldn't be able to make the 30+ minute trek to the dealership on such short notice (as we weren't anticipating a 6-hour loaner).He then explicitly accused us of "refusing to return the loaner vehicle" (indefinitely). We shut that down immediately and said neither of us are refusing to return the loaner, we're simply stating that we will return it tomorrow. That comment is absolutely disgusting. It is mind blowing that Ed ***'s solution to the issue has been "I know you spent well over $30,000 on a brand new vehicle that still has less than *** miles on it, I know that you have brought it in for servicing on three separate occasions since purchasing it (including twice within the first year), and I know that you have provided us video evidence of the issue you are having (which we requested and acknowledge the noise you are hearing is not normal), but, too bad, nothing we can do for you." Hopefully Acura steps in and corrects this issue.

I went to Ed ***) on the evening of September 21, 2022
I went to Ed ***) on the evening of September 21, 2022. I was looking for a new vehicle. I saw a new 2023 ***RV for sale and started asking about pricing/terms on that particular vehicle. The monthly lease price came back higher than the monthly purchase price, which I found very unusual. After questioning the salesman and his finance person (***) for approximately 30 minutes I walked out. I didn't feel *** was dealing in good faith, since the monthly lease price is nearly always lower than the cost to purchase and he couldn't explain why, other than saying "it's very complicated." The next morning i called the dealership with the thought of possibly purchasing the RV. I asked if the vehicle had already been sold and was told it was still available. The person I spoke to (***) said I should put a deposit on the vehicle to hold it, He said I would have to speak to someone in finance about the deposit. I called back 20 minutes later to speak with a finance person, but they were all in a meeting. The customer service person, ***, confirmed I could put a $500 deposit down and it was fully refundable for any reason, no questions asked. I called back a 3rd time and spoke to another customer service person who confirmed the deposit was fully refundable for any reason. I then spoke to *** and made the deposit, though he tried to make me pay $3000 instead of $500. He told me he could not hold the vehicle for a long time, say a week. I told him I needed a couple days to transfer funds for a larger downpayment. That evening I checked with another local *** dealer who had a similar vehicle available at a better price (purchase and lease). I decided to go with that dealer. I called *** at *** 24 hrs after making the deposit and he told me the deposit was non-refundable and claimed he had informed me of that, which is a lie. All conversations are supposedly recorded at ***. Still no refund.

On 1/12/23 I traded in a 2009 town and country van for a 2013 **** escape
On 1/12/23 I traded in a 2009 town and country van for a 2013 *** escape. My salesman was ***. We agreed on a price, I signed , I was taken to finance and introduced to *** (aka ***) and told he would finish the process. Every paper I signed with *** still had the original amount *** and I agreed on. On 1/15/23 I logged onto my *** account (this is who my new loan is through) and it the loan amount was about $1700 more than what we agreed on and what the paper work said I signed. I called napleton and also texted ***. My salesman *** informed me *** in finance added a gap plan for $700 and a maintenance plan for $1000, of which both were never discussed or for that matter approved by myself to be added to my loan. I called into Napleton on 1/16/23 to try to get this fixed, I spoke with *** the general manager and he assured me this doesn't happen often and things would change there. On Jan 20 *** (accounting for napleton) emailed me a copy of a check (#***) made to *** in the amount of $1700 for a refund on the gap and maintenance plans that were added by *** without my consent. I followed up with *** on 1/23/23 to see if the check had posted, it had not and they had not been informed of any issues. ( I informed *** on 1/20/23 once I felt the dealership was still being fraudulent)I emailed ***/Napleton on 1/23/23 to find out when I should expect this to post, *** emailed back letting me know it may take a week or so to keep checking my account online for updates. On 1/24/23 *** emailed me to let me know she is still waiting for the general manager to sign the *** check and that it has not even been mailed yet. I can not get anyone to do what they say, I had 2 services added to my loan without my consent and I have a text message from the salesman telling me exactly who added these services without my consent. This is not the way to get buy a car.

I purchased a 2022 Kia *** from Napleton *** on 10/29
I purchased a 2022 Kia *** from Napleton *** on 10/29. At that time I traded in my previous vehicle a 2019 Kia *** that was also purchased from Napleton ***. During the finance process I inquired about cancelling the *** on the *** and was told by *** once I received the "Retail Installment Contract" stating my trade-in has been paid in full bring the letter into the office so that my *** refund check paperwork could be completed and a check will be issued. Once I received the retail installment letter I contacted *** on 11/22 at that time I was told to fax him the letter. I reached out to *** on 11/24 to make sure he received the fax but I did not get a response. I reached out again on 11/30, at that time *** stated he received the documents. After learning my fax was received I called *** on 12/15 and at that time he had no idea what I was speaking of and had the wrong client's paperwork before him. Once he pulled up my correct profile he then asked me again if I had received the 'retail installment letter'. I reminded him that I did and that I faxed it to him weeks ago and got confirmation from him that he had gotten it. That is when *** told me he needed me to bring the retail installment letter to him again along with signing another form which was the Napleton's *** Contract Cancellation Form. I was out of town so *** emailed/texted me the form where I sent it back to him the same day. I followed up after 1/3/22 informing *** I had not received the check as of yet and he said it could take up to 45 business days. We are beyond the 45 days and I still have not received my gap insurance refund check. I emailed seven different members of Corporate on 3/3/2022, a Mr. responded saying he would forward my email to Consumer Affairs for review and I haven't heard anything from anyone since.

I purchased a 2017 **** Explorer XLT from Napleton's ***, ***
I purchased a 2017 *** Explorer XLT from Napleton's ***, *** on June 26th for $27,264.99. I received recalls in the mail and scheduled my car at a *** dealership in Mt ***, ILL to be fixed. I work in Mt ***, ILL so it was more convenient to take there. The first time I dropped off there for repairs, it was on June 16th, 2022 and a rear toe link was repaired. On that same day the mechanic was suppose to look at the transmission and didn't get around to it. I rescheduled my car for June 29th, 2022 to have the transmission looked at. I ended up receiving a phone call while at work asking if my car has ever been on fire, and I immediately said no. *** dealership said my explorer has been on fire before and a fire extinguisher has been used to put out the fire. There is evidence of the chemical that is used to put out fires that is corroding parts by the transmission. The transmission harness has fire damage to it and other parts as well. The *** dealership took pictures to show me what all has fire damage and forwarded the pictures onto me. They informed me as well that the transmission has been messed with as well, because there are new bolts on one side of it and the originals on the other. I called Napleton's Mid River dealership and spoke to the salesperson that sold me this vehicle and informed her what I have learned about my car. I told her the story and she ended up having her sales manager call me and after me telling him the story and even added that if my car was ever on fire, I would have called my insurance to be taken care of and not mess with this which is a big headache. The sales manager asked when I could come down and get me into another vehicle and he would auction this one off. The next day I received a call from the *** manager, ***, and he was very rude and basically telling me it had to catch fire while I owned it. He is not wanting to refund me my money back for this vehicle

I *** purchased a 2009 *** 335I from the Napleton Chrysler Dodge-Jeep Ram at ***
I *** purchased a 2009 *** 335I from the Napleton Chrysler Dodge-Jeep Ram at *** from Sales Person *** who assure us that the car was a " great car". I purchased the car on 8/29/22 after a short test drive by my son who the car was purchased for. A few days after purchasing the car we noticed that when reaching a speed of approximately 50MPH, hitting uneven pavement the car's rear section would sway violently causing control issues .Our concerns were that of loosing control and therefore causing harm to ourselves or others. My son made several calls to *** ( salesman ) approximately 3-4 days after purchase but never received a call back. I emailed *** on 9/6/22 rather than call to discuss our concerns. He called back and said he knew nothing about the issue. On 9/8/2022 the downward spiral continued with the Car. My son described the incident as the engine smoking like crazy causing to be stranded over night until he could have it towed back to Napleton.On the morning of 9/8/2022 my son had the car flat bedded back to Napleton. We met face to face with *** ,Sales Mgr.. I told him that the car was CLEARLY unsafe and asked if a thorough check of the car had been performed? No clear answer to this question was given. Second complaint to *** was I purchased an extended warranty and was told there was no coverage. After discussion *** told my son and I that he would void the contract and that he valued my business as this was the 2nd car purchase in a week. He clarified with me the amount and payment type of the down payment and asked that I allow him a few days for reimbursement. He would cancel transaction.. After several calls and messages left no response received from ***. The car was driven 64 milesPurchase mileage was *** and returned at ***. Thank ***. *** [protected]-451-5214

So dissatisfied and disappointed. The worst service and a total rip off. Have to wait for 2 weeks for your service appointment, Then they spend 2 days doing diagnostics and recommended repairs but issue with car is not resolved, but they are quick to charge you a lot of money. Spent over $4500 on the car in the last 4 months. The more money I spend the more issues I seem to have. Shady business.
I have written a letter to *** the *** of Volkswagon Group of *** in March 2022. As of the date of this letter to the ***, I had brought my car to Napletons 6 times within a 7 month period. No one should have to bring a car in this many times. No one even goes to the doctor this many times unless they are terminal! I now have a car that is sitting in my driveway that is undrivable and I am still paying for it! I want some restitution from Volkswagon! On January 18th, 2022 I brought my car back to Napletons because the check engine light was on AGAIN as well as the *** light. This time they told me that it was the intake fuel pump, the timing chain kit and the fuel pump control module. The intake fuel pump was replaced in November . The fuel pump control module was not covered by my warranty so my cost for this repair was $679.26. Now I know why they have financing options with ***, because the Volkswagons are always in the repair shop! Even the courtesy drivers, that they have at Volkswagon told me that they are a lot busier here than they were at *** because ***s are so much more reliable! After that repair, I had to bring it back 3 more times within 3 months. On May 9th, 2022, I was driving on a local busy road and the car started slowing down and then stopped. It would not turn over. I had it towed to another auto repair shop that specializes in Volkswagons. They found that the timing chain and skipped two teeth and caused the engine to seize. I have lost ALL FAITH IN NAPLETONS AND THE *** OF COMPETENCY IN THEIR SERVICE! Even the tech support at Volkswagon could not solve my problem. By the way, the *** light which is the *** Control was invented by ***, yet they were not able to figure out why the *** light and the check engine light kept coming on! MY ADVISE:DO NOT BUY A VOLKSWAGON! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO NAPLETONS BECAUSE AS YOU SEE BY THIS REVIEW, THEY CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM!
I purchased a brand new 2022 Kia *** on 10/22/22 and three days later on (10/25/22) the car started to have problems with power, i wrote it off as a driver mistake (touch a button or something). The car al of a sudden started to slow down as i was driving into work. Saturday 10/29/22 again as i am driving with my 9 month old grandson to the grocery store, I slow down at a speed bump and, as i tried to accelerate the car would not speed up and completely shut down I parked the car and turned it off and restarted the vehicle and continue. On 10/31/22 as i was reversing the car on my parking space again the car started to have all the warning lights turned on and alarms going off inside of the car, parked the car turned it off and it would not turn back on and all the warning lights were on and beeping stating i was not on park, inclined parking, engine light, oil light and many more. Had the car picked up and taken to dealership and the car has been there since 10/31/22 and to this day no one knows what is wrong with the car other then according to Service Tech ***, the car has a major Electrical issue that *** has to take care of. At this point I am a consumer that is very unhappy and dissatisfied with the lack of care and, empathy in this matter. I am almost at my first payment and I don't have the car that I purchased. Not only is this a major inconvenience for me but, also a major safety concern. A solution or retribution is not even an option at this point when the dealership ignores your calls or text.
Have two *** have always bought them to Napleton *** for service. Our 2020 Sorento was brought from Enterprise over two years ago. At 66k the transmission goes out and Napleton says it's out of warranty because power train warranty on second owner is reduced to 60k. However they keep the car for almost 3 weeks with no news if *** would be willing to cover the repair. We talked to *** Customer Relations and they said it was up to Napleton if they wanted to cover the cost of repair. Napleton said it was not up to them but big ***. So we got the runaround for 3 weeks hoping for a positive outcome with no offer of rental and no news. Very disappointed that Napleton did not help us in this situation. Very stressful experience. We do not recommend Napleton *** since they do not back their cars.
