It’s no surprise that service manager Doug Settle knows a lot about cars. As it turns out, he knows a thing or two about people, as well.Settle, who has worked at Don Ayres for 25 years, says it’s extremely important to be able to communicate with customers. “You have to listen to them and find out where the problem actually lies.”Sometimes that can be tricky. That’s why Settle and his employees often ride along with a customer, a move that ultimately helps them get to the root of a problem. Customers seem to appreciate their straightforward approach. Many are Honda loyalists, but they return to Don Ayres because they’ve come to expect a high level of service. “Customers are very loyal to our product, and it’s just as important for US to be as good as that product.”

greatest oil change deal Love my Insight. So sorry Honda isn't making them any more. But since they aren't, I'm glad I can get such a good deal on oil changes from Don Ayres. Love my Insight. So sorry Honda isn't making them any more. But since they aren't, I'm glad I can get such a good deal on oil changes from Don Ayres. ($13 for cars purchased there) That lets me keep my maintenance up a lot more easily. I aways wait while the work is done and they have a roomy and pleasant waiting area too. More
