Chat with me for a few minutes, and it’s easy to see why I dig my job. Put simply, I believe in the product – and the Don Ayres Experience. My coworkers and I don’t just sell cars, we build meaningful relationships with our customers. I have been the Honda sales manager at Don Ayres since November 1999 and before that I was in sales for 3 years. My father sold Honda's here for over 20 years, so it is really a family affair. I've been married to my beautiful wife Kara since 2004. We have 2 awesome children, Caleb and Savannah. We have lived in the Fort Wayne area all of our lives and enjoy going to Hamilton lake and spending time with family.

Since we had the same car for 20 years, we were dreading shopping for a new one, but Brandon made it completely hassle free from start to finish. Everything we said was listened to and taken into account. Every question we had was answered in a timely manner. If Brandon didn't know, he immediately found someone who did. The service package that is offered is phenomenal and gives us complete peace of mind. This is our first Honda and we look forward to many carefree years of driving, knowing Don Ayes Honda has our backs. More

Another Awesome Buying Experience Don Ayres sets the standard in customer service. Just when you think it can't get any better, it does. We have purchased 5 vehicles from Don Ayres o Don Ayres sets the standard in customer service. Just when you think it can't get any better, it does. We have purchased 5 vehicles from Don Ayres over the last two decades, including our most recent purchase. They have always been a pleasure to deal with. Our first purchase was a new 2000 Pontiac Montana. Our first Honda was a 2008 Civic Hybrid purchased new. Today we traded the 2008 Civic in for a new 2018 Civic - EX. Mason Luce was very patient and helpful as we test drove several new and used Honda models. Even when we decided to change course several times, focusing first on the new Accords, then used Civics, and finally making our decision to buy a new Civic. These cars are awesome, by the way. Mason made helpful suggestions but did not push us in any direction, listening to us as walked our way through our decision making process and answering all of our questions. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. Rick Squires and Bill Hulwick are both great guys. And Shannon Hoover, was very helpful as we finalized all of the paperwork. Again, listening and seeking to meet our needs and desires. I highly recommend that anyone wanting to buy a new or used car first try Don Ayres. Ask for Mason. He is great to work with and works hard to get you what you want. Our experience with the service department over the years has been top notch as well. They have spoiled me in this regard. So much so, that I hate visiting other dealership service departments. Doug Settle makes sure that you are taken care of and has gone the extra mile for me. I know that I can send my wife or daughter to the service department and they will be treated fairly without me present. In all aspects, Don Ayres is the best car dealer I have ever dealt with. More

Only 3 of the model we purch Always love coming to Don Ayres - have purchased 2 vehicles in the past, most recently July 2016. Another purchase today. Only 3 of the model we purchased left on the lot, perfect timing as another client wanted to look at the vehicle we purchased. Jon Walker, Rick Squires were extremely helpful on the sales end, Jarod Burgess in F & I worked extra hard, even beating our own credit union interest rate!!. Great teamwork from all, continued thoughtfulness & care throughout the process. Cannot say enough about the customer care! Know that service department will be equally as wonderful - prior experience with 2 previous vehicles and Chuck Suter prove that. Very pleased with our day today - THANKS SO MUCH, DON AYRES HONDA!! <3 More

Speed, efficiency and quality. I've worked with Don Ayers for several years. They have always done my routine maintenance and have always been good, honest, friendly people to work I've worked with Don Ayers for several years. They have always done my routine maintenance and have always been good, honest, friendly people to work with. Yesterday, I bought a brand new car for the first time. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, even the guys that weren't dealing with me. Nathan was eager to get me in the car that I wanted but without being pushy. He caught on quick to what I did like and didn't like. He worked hard with his boss and they were negotiabl. Due to my tight schedule they had me out the door in 2hrs with my new car, (Theodore)!!! Thank you so much guys! More
