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)!

Best Dealership in Town I have purchased three new Honda vehicles from Don Ayres Honda in recent years . Each time I negotiated these sales by myself. Being a woman to undert I have purchased three new Honda vehicles from Don Ayres Honda in recent years . Each time I negotiated these sales by myself. Being a woman to undertake such an experience is usually quite threatening and most people I know would never undertake this by themselves. I usually tell them "well you haven't tried Don Ayes Honda " These experiences have been very pleasant , non threatening, and not high pressure. Each time the sales person that I dealt with has been extremely nice, helpful, accommodating , and allowed me to have a very good deal on each car, The manager in the service department Doug Settle is one of the finest around . He is efficient, helpful, always available to answer questions and generally ready to fix any problems that might arise. Don Ayres Honda is the only dealership that I will bring my business to. My recent salesman Andy Hitzemann was superb. Went out uts his way to help me purchase my new car. More

I've had 4 Civics (different trim levels) over the years and decided it was time to upgrade to a different Honda vehicle. The 2018 CR-V EX checked off all the boxes on style, features, handing and accessory options. Andy has been my sales person throughout my entire experience and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to lease or finance a new or used Honda vehicle. Andy will provide you with exceptional customer service! More
