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.”

Completing this survey has been a pain in the butt. This is the 2nd time I have had to play with it since it did not complete the first time

Yesterday, I made my 9th purchase at Don Ayres Honda... my 4th since Andy Hitzemann has been there. He is my favorite salesperson of all time! I still am trying to plant a seed with management that my 10th should be a gift... ;)
