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)!

2016 Honda Odyssey My husband and I went to Don Ayres Honda to look at a used Honda Odyssey. I emailed the dealership to check availability on one that I liked. I receiv My husband and I went to Don Ayres Honda to look at a used Honda Odyssey. I emailed the dealership to check availability on one that I liked. I received an email back from Andy. Andy took the time to go out and find the van I was interested in and took a video of the van for us. We instantly knew that Andy was customer service oriented , and wanted to do business with him. Once we arrived at the dealership Andy had the van ready to go for the test drive. He went over the features of the van so we knew what to expect when test driving. Andy was friendly and easy to talk to. Not once was he pressuring us to purchase the vehicle . Once we decide to purchase the vehicle he went over all our options. His customer service was always his first priority. Before we left with our new van Andy had the vans settings programmed to our liking the van was washed and had a full tank of gas. Andy was amazing from beginning to end we would definitely do business with him at Don Ayres Honda in the future . More

This is our 3rd vehicle from Don Ayres and we ALWAYS get amazing service and support from this professional team! Our sales rep Andy is especially very accommodating and personable! Our '12 Honda Civic was totaled two months ago and we did extensive research to find the best replacement vehicle. We not only went with Honda because of the service but their vehicles are leaders in technology, safety and performance - and the prices were very fair! Andy was very knowledgeable and patient with our process - we never felt pressured, we always felt valued! More
