Ed Napleton Honda Quietly Focuses on Community, Customers

Ed Napleton Honda has been a St. Peters, Mo., fixture since it opened in 1994, cementing ties with the ever-growing community - albeit somewhat discreetly.

"You could say we're a quiet dealership," says General Manager Randy Hubler. "We don't like to tout ourselves but we are committed to serving our customers and our local neighborhoods."

In terms of community support, Hubler explains that the dealership tends to give to a number of charities and not-for-profit organizations, not one particular organization. "Our approach is to make contributions all year long, rather than get behind a small number of larger efforts."

However, Hubler does note that his Honda store enjoys a long relationship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including acting as a sponsor for the organization's annual fund-raising golf tournament. Other local beneficiaries of the dealership’s donations include area churches and youth sports teams. Ed Napleton Honda also donated $5,000 to the City of St. Peters Living Memorial Tree Program, which plants trees in area parks.

The way Ed Napleton Honda - located on the North Service Rd. just west of the intersection of I-70 and Hwy 370 - quietly goes about its business is intentional. Hubler says that the dealership's concern for its customers has resulted in a tremendous amount of repeat business, especially on the service side. So much so that they can greet most customers by name.

"We’re not flashy. Just like with our charitable giving, we try to do a number of regular, every day efforts that make our customers happy. We believe we have the most loyal customer base of any dealership in the area, and are tremendously grateful for it."
