Careers at Apple Autos

Building a Legacy

Apple Autos is not a typical dealership because it was built on the beliefs that people always come before profit. As a result, our best-price policy, mission, brand promises, and values were implemented. It is apparent that people come first at Apple Autos, and that goes for both employees’ and customers. Across the walls at all five of our locations are quotes by Leonard Rydell, founder of the Rydell group and major asset to the beginning of Apple Autos. Some of our favorite “Leonardism’s” are…

• “Never take advantage of a customer, even if you can.”
• “Don’t worry about the money, take care of the customers and the volume and money will be there.”
• “Put yourself in a position to take care of as many people as possible.”
• “Seek excellence, and the rest will follow.”

Our History

In 1993, the worst performing Ford store in the Twin Cities was purchased with the intent to build one of the largest dealerships in the Midwest. Just 8 months later, Apple Autos’ doors opened and the number of employees soon tripled. Over the next 25 years, the company would grow into becoming a 5-location, 8-brand automotive dealership with 2 collision and glass repair shops.

On a mission to do things differently from any other automotive company, we focused our efforts on providing unmatched quality automotive products and service by implementing the Best Price Philosophy. By putting our best foot forward every day, we would always aim to exceed our customers’ and employees’ expectations, maintaining their loyalty for a lifetime.
