Our Story
Chevrolet’s strength, versatility, and innovation, brought to Palatine by a veteran-owned dealership built on integrity and accountability — and backed by a family name Chicagoland has known since 1931.
In August 2025, the Chevrolet dealership at 151 East Lake Cook Road became Napleton Palatine Chevrolet — a veteran-owned store built on integrity and accountability. We’re one of four Napleton locations in Palatine, backed by the Steve Napleton Auto Group’s family-owned legacy serving Chicagoland since 1931.
From hardworking trucks and SUVs to dependable daily drivers, we offer new Chevrolet models, quality pre-owned vehicles, and trusted service. Our experienced team is committed to clear communication, honest guidance, and a customer-first experience.

Chevrolet of Palatine joins the Steve Napleton Auto Group as its fourth Palatine dealership. Same location, same service history, more resources behind it.
The group behind us
The Napleton name has been part of the automotive industry since 1931. What began as a family business grew into one of Chicagoland’s most enduring automotive groups — formally founded as the Steve Napleton Auto Group in 1982, and still guided by the same philosophy: honest, transparent car buying built on long-term relationships rather than one-time transactions.
That legacy is what stands behind this store — the buying power, the training, the parts network, and the accountability that comes with local ownership. Day to day, though, the people you deal with are the team here in Palatine.
