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.

First time Honda buyer I wanted a 5 passenger, 6 cylinder, AWD SUV. The Honda Passport had everything I was looking for and so much more! Safety features and reliability rec I wanted a 5 passenger, 6 cylinder, AWD SUV. The Honda Passport had everything I was looking for and so much more! Safety features and reliability record far exceeded other non-Honda options. Jeff Gilmore was my salesperson. He had the experience and knowledge to field any questions. He compared all 4 models of the Passport so I was able to select the one that was just right for me. Rick worked the sale price, trade-in value and available incentives to meet my budget. They even went the extra mile and found the exact interior/exterior color match for me! Josh completed my excellent experience by explaining all warranty information, details regarding the part and service departments and finalized all paperwork. While this was happening, Jeff Gilmore customized all setting on my vehicle so that when I drove away, everything was set up for me! From start to finish, this team at Don Ayres Honda provided a seamless, 5-star experience for me. They will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in Fort Wayne this year, they told me. I can see why.

Indecisiveness is a plague on my character. The trifold teamwork of Brandon, Rick and Joe was paramount to securing my decision to move forward with leasing a new Honda Passport. There comes a time in ones teamwork of Brandon, Rick and Joe was paramount to securing my decision to move forward with leasing a new Honda Passport. There comes a time in ones life when we realize the decision we have made has set us on a course nothing short of victory. This is a reality I now live with in my elite tier transportation device. Thomas Jefferson once said “Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.” These words of wisdom resonate with me every time I hit the push button start. In conclusion, it’s lit fam. More
