In 2008, I realized that I needed to make a career change. I spent the previous 19 years in the restaurant industry, and the long hours were really beginning to take their toll. After applying for a job at Don Ayres, I was immediately impressed with the company’s family-friendly approach to business. Everyone welcomed me to the dealership, something that I pass along to our new employees. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Melissa, and our Weimaraner, Remington Steele (Remy). We also enjoy boating in our vintage Correct Craft. I enjoy helping customers not only at time of purchase, but later on down the line when questions arise on how to use their new vehicle's technology (I'm a bit of a tech geek)!

Outstanding experience in every way This was the 2nd vehicle purchased at Don Ayers in the last 3 months for my family. Andy, Shannon, and Joe were all fantastic to work with! Both vehi This was the 2nd vehicle purchased at Don Ayers in the last 3 months for my family. Andy, Shannon, and Joe were all fantastic to work with! Both vehicles they had to find what we were looking for at a different dealership and worked out a trade with them to get us the vehicle we really wanted. Not high pressure at all, but they were all very knowledgeable and just wanted to help. We have already referred someone to Bill on their used car lot and actually got a referral check in the mail from it because they bought and had a great experience as well! Everyone there has been extremely helpful. More

Great car, great experience We decided it was time to say goodbye to my 10 year old Jeep after putting $3K in repairs into it over the last 6 to 8 months. My wife has a Honda and We decided it was time to say goodbye to my 10 year old Jeep after putting $3K in repairs into it over the last 6 to 8 months. My wife has a Honda and loves it. I thought perhaps it was time to move to a different make. Since she is so happy with her Honda and I had even been having my Jeep serviced at the Don Ayres dealership we decided to set an appointment with Andy Hitzemann. If Andy didn't write the book on Hondas, he should have! The man knows EVERYTHING there is to know about Honda vehicles. He was knowledgeable, fun to work with and very accommodating to our needs and wants. Likewise, Evan Johnston was knowledgeable and efficient with the financing details. Both were very pleasant to work with and in the end we drove home in a beautiful CRV. Thanks guys! More

Andy would check with me to see if I had found one yet and notify me if potential Pilots in his inventory. Last week we met and Andy provided all the details on equipment the Pilot had, along with its history. After going for a test drive and experiencing first hand the capabilities of the vehicle, decided this was the right Pilot for us. The rest of the team was patient and courteous in going through the financing and purchasing process. Thanks again and looking forward to future Honda purchases. Adam Harder More
