About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in Naperville, when most dealerships are quiet, Chevrolet of Naperville came alive with an unusual sound—a soft humming coming from the showroom. A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it casually to no one in particular. Curious, he approached the showroom door, only to see a line of cars gently glowing like lanterns on Christmas night. It turned out that the hum was actually the engines of new models softly warming up before closing time. The next morning, everyone found a note stuck to the door: 'Happy holidays! Warm your ride today!' signed simply, ‘A friendly neighborhood dealer.’

2. One morning, while browsing through Chevrolet of Naperville’s used parts section, a regular noticed something odd on the shelf: an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Supercharge Your Day.’ Curious, he picked it up and found no instructions or warnings—just a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Spray once before test drive.’ He sprayed it, started his test drive—and suddenly, everything around him was in slow motion. The trees waved like grass, cars seemed to float past, and even the traffic lights changed colors slower than usual. When he got back, everyone asked if he’d had too much coffee. Turns out, the label should’ve read ‘Super-slow Your Day’.

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Chevrolet of Naperville, he heard an odd sound coming from inside. ‘I thought I locked everything up tight,’ muttered the service manager, scratching his head. As they investigated further, they found nothing out of place—until the delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the dashboard: a tiny tape recorder playing an endless loop of ‘Check Engine.’ It turned out to be a prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

4. While walking past Chevrolet of Naperville one evening, a neighbor heard a voice echoing from inside: ‘Check out these tires—they’re practically new!’ Curious passersby peered through the windows but saw no one.} Suddenly, an old delivery driver emerged from behind the counter and grinned sheepishly. 'Just talking to myself,' he said, adjusting his cap. 'Thought I’d scare up some business.' A neighbor chuckled, shaking their head with a smile. 'Guess that’s what you get for talking to yourself in a showroom full of cars!'
