Chicagoland Automotive Group

What Chicagoland Automotive Group does

Chicagoland Automotive Group is a privately-held multi-brand automotive dealership group headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, operating seven to eight franchise locations across the Chicago metropolitan area in Lisle, Joliet, Clarendon Hills, and Naperville. The group holds authorized-dealership rights for Honda (two rooftops), INFINITI (two rooftops), Volvo, Polestar, and VinFast, and operates The Used Car Superstore for multi-brand pre-owned and body-shop services. Its customer base is exclusively individual retail consumers in the regional metro area.

Revenue is generated through four streams: new-vehicle sales (~635 units across the five franchise brands), used-vehicle sales (~595 units spanning multiple manufacturers), financing arranged through third-party lender partnerships, and after-sales service and collision repair. The product portfolio spans conventional gasoline vehicles (Honda Civic starting at ~$26,302, INFINITI QX80 up to $89,802) and an emerging electric lineup (Volvo EX90, Volvo EX30, Polestar 3, Polestar 4, Honda Prologue, VinFast VF 8), positioning the group at the intersection of legacy ICE retail and the EV transition. Pricing is publicly disclosed at the unit level, with documentary fees of $377 and electronic filing fees of $35 on used vehicles.

The group operates a traditional direct-to-consumer dealership model. No proprietary technology, mobile app, API platform, or AI/ML capability is disclosed. Go-to-market relies on physical showrooms, online inventory browsing, and digital service scheduling. Ownership structure, financial performance (revenue, profitability, headcount), and historical timeline are not publicly disclosed; the firmographic '1-10 employees' field is inconsistent with seven operating dealerships and is treated as a data gap.
