The first year was rough. The Preslar family lived in an apartment and Val worked eight hours a day, seven days a week. The extra effort paid off. Apex Auto is a successful business, founded on a reputation of friendly service and honesty. MR. PRESLARS business philosophy can be summarized in these statements: We treat customers like we want to be treated.
