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.”

A pleasure to do business with. Very accomadating to my time schedule. When ever I have service done on my two Honda vehicles, there is never an unsuspected surprise. Such as 'you need this done' or, we fo time schedule. When ever I have service done on my two Honda vehicles, there is never an unsuspected surprise. Such as 'you need this done' or, we found this that needs replaced. By following Honda's preventive service schedule, an owner pretty much eliminates those hidden problems that can pop up unexpectedly. I have never had to take a vehicle back because something that was done to the car was incomplete. I just have a peace of mind that everything is done correctly whenever I have my vehicles serviced at Don Ayres Honda. More

The service department in very good. The new car sales department is very good. I bought a new honda here in 2008 and in 2010. I bought a used 2007 Civic from the used car department in March of this ye department is very good. I bought a new honda here in 2008 and in 2010. I bought a used 2007 Civic from the used car department in March of this year and I am very disapointed with the used car sales manager. He misled me about the certification of the car and he changed the numbers around on the sales agreement with the bottom line being the same. He seamed to try to confuse me. The used car sales manager did not introduce himself to me or speak to me during the entire process. When I bought the two new Hondas, the new car sales manager spoke to me both times. More

That means I get my car serviced when it needs to get serviced. Also, the prices are very reasonable; as a single mother that means a lot to me too. And if that wasn't enough, they will wash my car for me too - what a great place! More
