Being a first time woman potential buyer I arrived expecting a boatload of instant sales pitches to wade through. I was instantly surprised for the good. I was warmly greeted by a female sales associate with a warm personality who personally guided me to a sales desk then called an older gentleman sales associate to assist me. The associate was a perfect match kind, thoughtful, helpful and best of all not pushy. Together we found the perfect car match for me. As we strolled through the maze of available vehicles one car choice rose to the forefront. Mr. Brock clearly described and demonstrated the car and features. The next step was to work out an agreeable price which the Ayres associates accomplished. I am pleased that they destroyed my image of the pushy car salesman. Thank you Don Ayres Associates Josh and particularly Mr. Cleveland Brock. I am enjoying my new car and will for years to come. Janet

Ron Conner provided exceptional service when I was there to have my car serviced/repaired. He was very friendly and helpful. I had some unexpected issues with my car which I was not prepared for financially and he worked with me to get me approved for a payment plan offered by Don Ayres. He gave me my options and let me decide. His recommendations were definitely needed and I appreciate his help. He made sure everything ran smoothly and my experience there was a very pleasant one. Ron is an excellent employee and made my experience there great!

Let's be honest, no one likes car shopping, but my experience at Don Ayres was unlike any other. It started when my husband called about a car we viewed online. Within the hour, the salesman (Ezra) sent us a personal video of the car, inside and out. We made an appointment to test drive the car the following day. When we arrived, it was raining, so Ezra pulled the car inside so we could look it over without getting wet. Ezra was knowledgeable about the vehicle and highlighted its various features during the test drive. The sales process was truly no-pressure and they gave us a very fair price for our trade-in. The entire process, from test drive to walking out with the keys to our new car, took less than 2 hours which is unheard-of! I left a few personal items in my old car by mistake and Ezra made sure we got them back. His communication before, during and even after our purchase was great. I would highly recommend Don Ayres and look forward to doing business with them again. Oh, and their extended warranty options are amazing and very fairly priced.

Rick Kruger is extremely personable and reliable. I had questions for Rick and he responded almost immediately even after hours. He made this whole process go very smoothly.. Rick Kruger helped me find the vehicle I was looking for and supplied me with all pertinent information immediately. Just simply outstanding customer service.. They were very knowledge and transparent. I appreciate everything they did for me..

I have bought three Hondas from Rick Squires and/or Carlo Borg (management) and Rick Kruger (sales.) These gentlemen went out of their way to talk me through the process in a friendly "no pressure" way. The Odyssey and two CR-Vs that I've bought have been "creampuffs," requiring little more than routine maintenance. I would recommend Don Ayres to anyone, whether for a new or pre-owned vehicle. I'll never buy a car anywhere else, and neither should you! Thanks, fellas!

We bought a used Honda Odyssey last week and had a great experience. I was dreading the car buying experience, but Michael made it as easy and relaxed as possible. We did not feel pressured at all. We love our van and are looking forward to many great years with it.

I purchase a new Honda Civic from Don Ayres in April and I could not be happier. Their customer service is absolutely amazing. Their sales person was in constant contact with me throughout the purchase, but in the best way possible. I didn't feel pushed or harassed at all. My car was even delivered to me at work! We had a few bumps with the car that were flawlessly corrected with no hassle to me at all. The service department is friendly and efficient. I could not be happier with my car buying experience!

The experience has always been excellent from the initial phone call to make the appointment tothe way I am greeted upon arrival. Doug Waltz has been my Service Rep each time I have beenthere and he goes above and beyond to make it a good experience. My only complaint is yournoisy ice machine. Very annoying while waiting for your vehicle.

Recently brought in my Civic for routine maintenance and "winterizing". My service advisor Tony Vincent was very friendly and helpful in doing what needed to be done and even had the car washed. The wait time took no longer than he said it would while I stayed in the very nice lounge area. All around an enjoyable experience. Keep up the great work!
Good to go

I recently purchased my second CRV from Don Ayres. As with the first, the experience was as easy as it could be in buying a car. Our salesman, Keith, was new and did a great job. The service department transferred my trailer hitch from my old CRV to my new one for a nominal fee. I like the 12.99 oil changes and the ccourteous treatment in the service department. The only thing that kept me from giving five stars is there really needs to be 2 courtesy shuttles, at least during peak times. I live 5 miles north of the dealership, yet had to travel through Fort Wayne neighborhoods, down by the airport and then back up to my home. There should be a North shuttle and a South shuttle.

I put WAY too many miles on my cars living in Northern Indiana and driving an average of two highway hours every day. I've had my CR-V for just over 2 years and have acquired over 67,000 miles on the odometer. I have taken my car exclusively to Ayers for routine maintenance and have never been disappointed. My service rep is Tony. . . Not only is he a great service guy, he's just a really great guy! Thanks Ayers!

This was my first stop in the service department after purchasing our used 2013 CRV. Very impressed with the professional friendliness of the experience. Never saw that coming from an auto dealer!! Great job all around, including that sales staff just a few months ago. Would recommend the Don Ayres dealership to anyone looking for superior service. Oh wait, I already have!

Bought my vehicle yesterday from Michael at Don Ayres Honda. Not only was Michael friendly, he had knowledge on the vehicle I was purchasing, and was able to answer all of our questions. Also, it was great that we felt no pressure to buy anything and we got a high quality vehicle at an excellent price! Thanks!!

Thanks to Jeremy in the service department! He was kind and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond--offering to set me up with the shuttle Don Ayers has on site. **Its shocking to see how immaculate the service area is kept...I have worked for a competitor dealer in the past, I know how things can be in the service areas.

I brought my Fit in for an airbag replacement. Tony was very professional and even apologized for my wait of only 5 minutes while he was helping another customer. He informed me of how long the replacement would take and showed me the way to the lounge. The lounge was comfortable and I appreciated the coffee and other refreshments. Everything was done in under the estimated time and I was soon back on the road.

Dillon was my service advisor on my last oil change. He took care of a recall at the same time. I thought it would make my visit longer but it didn't. I had gone to dinner with my daughter during the service and when my car was done a half hour earlier than expected Dillon called me to let me know since he knew I was just killing time. He was a joy to work with.

Working with Caleb was great. We did not buy the first time we were there. However, when we came back a month later, I called Caleb first. Caleb was friendly, personable, out going, knowledgeable, and worked hard to get me into a vehicle. He listened to what I wanted in a car and did his best to accomplish it. When I'm ready for my next car, I will call on Caleb :) Thank u. Caleb :)

The sales team at Don Ayres Honda, Fort Wayne is top notch. I came in looking to make a deal on a 2016 minivan and these guys put it all together from top to bottom. Across the board a great team who worked well with a sometimes difficult negotiator in myself. They remained professional throughout the negotiation and we got it done. I applaud the team for keeping it together during a tough negotiation. I would also add that the guys in service who cleaned the van prior to reception did an excellent job and delivered the van in great shape. Many Thanks to Don Ayres. I would reccomend this dealership to anyone looking to make an intelligent decision and buy a HONDA.

Don Ayres Honda was awesome !!!! They were very patient with me and helpful in finding the exact vehicle that I wanted at the exact price range I needed to be in. I shopped with them over a two month period and they never once gave up on me or tired of all my questions. I don't take buying a new vehicle lightly and they continually helped me in my decision process. They even let me take the vehicle that I was looking to buy home for the weekend to test drive as they wanted me to be happy with what I was buying. I would highly recommend them .

Buying a car is never fun, but it was much more comfortable at Don Ayres. Our rep actually listened to what we had to say, and I give him high grades for uncovering what we actually wanted instead of trying to push us toward something we ddin't want. As a former sales manager, I was very impressed. Rule number one by me is to uncover needs and desires before pushing product. We arrived with an idea, he responded to our needs, and even though it is a long process, it was easier when everyone on the dealer side is more interested in your needs and wants than anything else.

i had done some online research before looking at any cars. I wanted used, 1 or 2 years old, less than 30000 miles. I had 3 cars I wanted to test drive. They had all 3. Didn't try to get me into any other cars. All met my requirements plus the prices were within the limit I had set for myself. I was able to drive all and it really helped to be able to compare them side . Caleb was great in helping me. Answered all my questions. Looked up anything that he didn't know. The whole process was easy; in and out with a new car in 5 hours. Thanks! Tracy

Recently purchased a certified 2014 CRV. Jeff Ward took his time explaining all the features of the vehicle. Answering all our questions. He check on the availability of the vehicles we were interested. It was a pleasure working with him. Had the vehicle in to fix a noisy heater fan and Doug Waltz had the vehicle in and out in and hour, completely replacing the fan. Fantastic service FYI this is my second CRV from Don Ayers. I also own a 2011. Best dealer in town

I have never had a bad experience from sales to service at Don Ayres. Most recently, Dillon made sure that I had all information about my service early so I could make other arrangements if needed. He explains things so that I understand but never makes me feel like my questions or concerns are silly. I can sum up my feelings in one powerful word ... Trust.

I had an appointment for a simple oil change on Monday but when I got in (my husband's car) that morning my husband had left a note on the dash that there appeared to be a slow leak in two of the tires. I knew Jeremy Sullivan had worked me in because Rich's car was a bit over due for the oil change due to my delay. On my way to a meeting I called Jeremy to give him a heads up and when I arrived for our appointment at noon Jeremy had things arranged so that not only was the oil change taken care of but the technician checked out the tires! Great service, great attitude- much gratitude on my part!

I purchased my Honda CR-V early 2015. The day I purchased it, I was very impressed by the salesman and others I encountered. Everyone was friendly, informative, and it went beyond Honda just trying to sell a car.I've returned regularly for oil maintenance, and again, and again, received, fast, friendly service. Too many businesses 'talk the talk'. Whether before selling you something, or anytime after. Or once they've sold their product to you, you fall off their radar. Not this dealership. Their sincerity is felt. I bought my CR-V 75% because it's a great vehicle, and 25% because I was impressed by this dealership.

My wife and I had a great experience with Sales Consultant, Chris Demetriades. Our vehicle shopping was a three-week experience, and Chris was not pushy, but very helpful along the way. He even called us at home after the purchase to ensure that we didn't have any questions and to thank us. We felt very good about the sales process and even better about getting the vehicle for less than we anticipated. We were return buyers for Don Ayres, and will continue to buy our Hondas here -- especially through Chris.

I purchased a car for my son in May. It was a 2016 Civic. He starting having problems with it shortly after he got it home. Long story short, Don Ayers Honda made it right! Rick Kruger is who I worked with. He has sold me 5 cars and as long as he is still there, he will sell me more. I cannot say how grateful I am for what Rick, and Don Ayers did to make me happy and give me the best experience ever! I also want to thank Doug Waltz and Doug Settle. They did everything in their power and skill to make things right. The service department is incredible is also!I would, and do, recommend Rick and Don Ayers Honda to everyone! Thank you!!!

From the purchase of our vehicle to repair work done, there is no way I could not give a five star (I would give more if I could!) The knowledge and helpfulness in purchasing our vehicle was above and beyond what I expected. We had a new car in less than two hours!!The body shop was totally efficient in handling our repair after an accident. Our insurance estimate was accepted and work was completed a day earlier than promised. Pick up and pay was in and out in less than five minutes.Everyone I dealt with was pleasant to deal with. This is the place to go for your next vehicle or service!

Came in looking for an older, high mileage CR-V since we thought that would keep us in our budget. Left with a newer, low mileage CR-V for around the same amount we were paying before.

I had a great experience with Don Ayres Honda. I had initially researched some of the cars they had in stock online. I was looking for certified Pre-owned Civics. Jeff helped me look at a few, we test drove one, and agreed to terms before I left the dealership (which I had hoped to do). Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process. They were persistent about financing through the dealership (I had already decided to finance through my credit union), but not overly so and this seems par for the course for most dealerships. Though we didn't spend too much haggling, I felt like I got a very fair price for the Civic I ultimately purchased. I would highly recommend, as everyone on staff is friendly and happy to help. Almost immediately upon walking in the door, I had sales associates approaching me to see how they could help. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and will definitely visit Don Ayres Honda again when car searching in the future.

I looked at several cars at dealerships in Indianapolis and Cincinnati before ending up at Don Ayers. I could not have asked for a better experience working with Darrin and rest of the team. He was very pleasant and easy to work with, and went above and beyond to get me the information I was looking for. Absolutely no complaints at all, and will definitely keep Don Ayers in mind for future car buying needs!

My service advisor, Dillion Steenport ALWAYS goes beyond the call of duty to serve my family. One time I explained over the phone a problem I was having with my open door warning light. Dillion ordered the part before my appointment to make sure it was in so I would not have to come back for a 2nd appointment. Last week I was in for my scheduled Honda service for my CRV. I told Dillion about my wife's van that needed a rear replacement wiper. Dillion had it ready for me when my wife dropped me off to pick up my CRV. Before she could pull away Dillion asked if he could install the wiper for us. The Honda service team is great!!

I scheduled my recent oil change about 3 weeks prior. The day prior to my oil change, I received a notice that the parts for my Ridgeline were in for a recall. I thought in my mind that I would need to schedule a 2nd appointment. However, when I let Charles know of the parts availability, he volunteered to have the recall work done at the same time as the oil change. He even offered to wash my vehicle. I really appreciate his "can do" attitude!

When my brother found out I needed a new car he immediately called Andy about two hybrids he found for me on the website. Historically decision makering isn't our favorite but Andy was patient and allowed us to do our waffling with out any pressure. Especially since I was in Louisiana and the car was up on the lot in Fort Wayne. My brother was able to look at the two and help me feel good about the one I choose! And both cars were a great price after searching several dealerships in the country. I have never had a car delivered to me! Maybe it will have one of those big car bows on the top ... Maybe not. But I do feel excited and grateful for getting my new car this week and so fast after my accident to get me back on the road of freedom! Thanks! Everyone! Can't wait!!

Every time I have service done the Don Ayres service staff is excellent! I love that I can catch a shuttle to work while my car is being serviced but this last time I decided to wait. Happy to report that it was quick and comfortable wait. Checked out the garden area outside too!

It's helpful to me to know that my appointment time will be honored, the work done on my vehicle will be done well and my car will be given a thorough check. I appreciate the opportunity to schedule online, drop off my car and return to find it ready and waiting just as I was promised. Dillon is very conscientious.

Just wanted to leave a quick note and thank my service crew and handler Dillon Steenport for taking excellent care of my car and me during my last visit. The team over there makes servicing the vehicle so easy.. I can actually "relax" in the break room while waiting for the service to be done. How great is that?

My normal service rep, Doug Waltz, was on vacation, but he arranged ahead of time for Pete Ort to take good care of me in his place. I always get GREAT service, but this time was exceptional. I've been having problems with my AC system and this was the second service visit for that problem. Dave, the service technician who always works on my vehicle, came into the waiting area to listen to my first-hand experience with the problem, then kept me informed of all the things he was doing to find the problem and correct it. It turns out that this issue wasn't one that the Honda service forums had seen before, though the Don Ayres crew recently had the exact problem with another vehicle in the same model year. They not only figured out and solved the problem, they were going to share that information with the rest of the Honda service community so others could benefit from their knowledge. I cannot stress enough how impressed I was with Dave and the rest of the Honda service crew at Don Ayres. They're always courteous, efficient and helpful, but now that I understand the detail-orientation and commitment they have to helping me have the best Honda experience I can, I'm even more impressed.

This dealership was awesome at helping my wife and I get our vehicle. We got a 2016 Honda Civic, and they were nothing but help. Anthony, our sales rep, was nothing but helpful and knowledgable! He wasn't pushy in the slightest, and when it came time to the decision to buy, they worked with us on the price so we could get what we wanted. AWESOME place!

Doug Settle, my favorite Service Manager, ordered my recall and followed through with my appointment to install a few weeks later. I missed seeing my old Service Advisor, Troy Johnson, who had always handled my concerns with the utmost professionalism; but when I met Doug Waltz for the first time a few days ago, I was put at ease and greatly satisfied with Doug's warm personality and follow through to my complete satisfaction!A Happy Honda Customer,Sue Harruff

I recently had our 2016 Honda Pilot in for service. The Doug Settle and the Don Ayres service staff were very friendly and accommodating when asked if they could work in an oil change with my existing service work they quickly and cordially agreed. In addition to the professional staff the convenient free car washes are a plus.

I had a warranty expire by 9 days, but Doug Waltz and the service department were able to work their magic and get the part covered. I am always pleased with the knowledge and friendly service at Don Ayres Honda. That is why I have been a loyal customer for 17 years.

When getting my oil changed 2 weeks ago, Don Ayers told me all 4 brakes needed to be replaced as they are at 2mm, well below the recommended. From prior experience, the Honda dealership is at least 2X the cost at other places for their Honda certified brakes. As a single mom, I can't afford that. Therefore, I have another technician who works on my cars, so I took it to him. He said my brakes were at 5mm, and would not need replaced for at least 6 months. I then took my car to Sears to have my tires rotated (bought my tires there) and they agreed that the brakes didn't need replaced. They said they would check them again at my next rotation (6k miles). It seems Honda was trying to get me to buy something that I didn't need. My next step is to report this to BBB. Not sure if this happens to everyone, but as a woman I feel like they might be taking advantage of me.

This was our 2nd car purchase in a year. The first time we stepped into the "car buying" process we were not having any luck with dealership's or salesmen. They were rude and did not take us seriously based on our age. However, that all changed when we stepped on the lot at Don Ayres. It was late, around 7:45 p.m. and they closed at 8:00. Shawn came out to greet us, and offered to let us test drive a civic. We were shocked because at other dealerships they were even ruder near closing time. Long story short, Shawn stayed with us thru a job change, and the time we wanted to wait for the new civic body style. He was amazing thru all our questions and concerns. So when the time came for our 2nd car purchase, it was even easier to tell him what we wanted (car/price wise) and he made this process even easier than the first. Which I did not think was possible. We will not be going anywhere else but Don Ayres. They treat you with respect, and above all that is what matters. Thank you Shawn and Don Ayres!!

Unfortunately my radiator, on my Honda Accord, got a hole in it and I was left on the side of the road one morning. However, I was able to contact Chuck Suter in the service department and he worked me into the schedule the same day. He had a radiator located and ready to be put in by that afternoon. Chuck has also been the family service guy when my wife brings in our Honda Odyssey. He does an excellent job looking out for our needs and taking care of our vehicle! We can always feel confident that our vehicles are being taken care and we are not being taken advantage of.

First thing, I purchased a Honda CR-V from them. By far it was the best car buying experience I've ever had. No hassles and they quoted me a great price. I've had the vehicle in for service (oil changes) twice. Both times everything went smooth. I got the car back when promised. The check in process was efficient. I would highly recommend Don Ayres to anyone considering buying a vehicle or looking for service.

Ron called me to schedule an appointment for a recalled part. When i came in on the scheduled time, the part was replaced very quickly and I was out of there in no time. Ron also offered to take care of anything else I might need for the car. I had to get back to work - so i declined his offer.The whole process was very quick and efficient. - Thanks Ron!!!

Good price on my old car and very fair price on new car . I always know what the cost will be before the work is started . I know what service is recomended before next oil change and what it is going to cost . Oil changes is only $12.99 if you buy your car from Dpn Ayers . The oil is snythetic oil. Any place else it would cost $45.00. Everyone is very friendly and will help with anything. I'll trade with Don Ayers from now on.

I drove into the service area not knowing where to go or what to do in order to buy my car. Doug Waltz walked over to me asked the correct questions and told me he would escort me to the person who could help me. He drove my car to a safe parking area and brought me the keys. Excellent personal service!! I had been introduced to Caleb Craun. He took care of EVERYTHING that needed to be done so I drove home happy and feeling as if I had friends at Don Ayres Honda. A million thanks.

I chose Honda for the car, the price, the amenities and Don Ayres for the salesman, Chris Demetriades whom I have bought multiple vehicles from over 2 decades and for Ayres service. Where I work, folks rave about the service department. I had my first experience and it was excellent, a lot different than I have ever experienced. Pete, my car manager, did a great job of guiding me thru the process. I am thankful to them all for a very nice and economical vehicle.

I worked with Darrin Bickel on the purchase of a new Honda Accord Hybrid. Mr. Bickel was extremely friendly and easy to work with. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. I especially appreciated Mr. Bickel's communication; he provided thorough and timely responses to all inquires over multiple communication methods. He even provided a short video of the car we were purchasing. The Don Ayres dealership staff was friendly and well-prepared. My only complaint was an accessory was not installed on the vehicle prior to my arrival. I spotted the mistake and Mr. Bickel corrected it right away. The vehicle was promptly taken to the shop for the installation. It was ready within 30 minutes.I would recommend Darrin Bickel and the Don Ayres dealership

Don Ayres Honda is a great place to purchase then service your vehicle. The $12.95 oil change is a great bargain that they give their customers if you purchase a vehicle with them. My husband recently purchased a remote start for my vehicle for my birthday gift. What a pleasant surprise and the service department along with our service representative Dillon Steenport was great to deal with.

My wife has always owned Honda's(three). We have always been 100 percent satisfied with Don Ayres. Doug Settle is one of the reasons my wife services her Honda at Don Ayres. Doug always has time to talk to my wife and lets her know if she has any problems to contact him. My wife was looking to purchase a new vehicle and since Doug has always helped us with everything else I contacted him to set us up with a honest and caring salesman to work with. Doug suggested Andy Hitzmann. Great experience with Andy. Andy cares also for his customers. My wife purchased a new 2016 Accord Sport on Friday. Again Doug went above and beyond his job as Service Manager. Doug is the main reason we have our Accords serviced at Don Ayres. I always recommend Don Ayres service to all my friends. It is because of Doug Settles and their great service techs!

4 out of 5 of my immediate family have now bought vehicles from Don Ayres and specifically from Caleb. With my own process I was thoroughly pleased with the selection of vehicles available and with the level of service I received. He was very patient with me and helped to show me all of my different options. I never felt pressured into anything and was very glad they were able to work with me on my short time frame. I am moving cross country and they made sure to check into all of their service availability for me where I am going to be and not just in their area. Overall a great experience and I will definitely return for my next car, even if I have to drive it cross country again!

My wife and I got to the dealership an hour before they closed to check out a car we saw online. We were very happy with the car, and decided to lease. The salesman helping us, Darrin, was very patient, staying over an hour after closing to help us complete the paperwork. And when the employees in detail department left early, he personally cleaned the car and got everything in order for us, even in 85 degree weather. Very pleased with the car, and our service.

I wanted to replace my 6 year old Accord with a new one. I knew what I wanted and Rick not only helped me find it, but got it at the price I could afford. My new 6 cyl. Accord is smarter than I am and Rick took the time to set my garage opener, radio spots, and show me how to use my iPhone in it. I know from previous car purchases from Rick, that whenever I have questions, Rick will take the time to explain how to use different functions that I can't figure out. Thank you, Rick!

This is the second Honda we've purchased from Don Ayres Honda in the past three years. Darrin Bickel was our salesperson for both purchases. The first purchase was for me; this one was for my wife. Darrin was very professional through this second purchase. We had our first choice sold an hour before we were going to purchase it and we we were not very happy about that. And we let Darrin know it. We weren't too kind. We calmed down and worked with Darrin to locate another vehicle. As it turned out, the car we purchased was more like what we wanted and as it turns out was a better fit for my wife. She is very pleased. We really appreciate Darrin's help, support, and professionalism with helping us with this purchase. His customer service was the best!

I arrived with my Honda CRV towed behind my truck. The service manager came right over and asked what was wrong with my CRV. I think because it was towed in he thought I had something seriously wrong. "we don't see too many come in like this" he said. I told him I was just bringing it in for regular service and I thought I would visit Mom and run some errands while I was in Fort Wayne. They estimated that they would be done in about 3 hours. As I was headed back to pick the car up, two and a half hours later, they called me and said the car was done.Great job and GREAT service!

Big city dealer with small town atmosphere. Fun low pressure car shopping experence. Quality people that take pride in there work. Only wish they would not push service/warrenty contracts. Most dealers do now days and it unravels the great job a sales staff has done up to that point by further negatating (or just saying not interested) after a said price has already been reached.

I came to Don Ayres Honda on May 24th after spending over a month looking for a Honda Accord to replace one that was totaled by a drunk driver. I had found a listing for a 2010 Accord at Don Ayres that seemed like exactly what I had been looking for-- one owner, great condition, low mileage, EX-L trim, 6 cylinders. After talking to Darrin Bickel about the vehicle and getting more pictures sent to me, I made the big decision to drive the 3 1/2 hours from my home to the dealership to look at the car with my father. When we arrived at the dealership, we took a look at the car and went for a test drive. It seemed as nice as I had thought. I asked again to verify that it had one owner, because the CarFax showed two owners. Mr. Bickel told me that this was a case where someone had the car as a personal lease and then bought it out. He said that CarFax showed two owners because of it being first a personal lease, then a personal vehicle-- but said it was actually a one owner vehicle. I figured that he had more experience with CarFax than me, so I accepted the explanation. I still had reservations about the purchase because of a very limited warranty (3 months powertrain), but after talking to my family and negotiating the price, I decided to go ahead and buy the car.Shortly after driving away with the car, I stopped to get gas and looked in the glove box for the owner's manual. Immediately I noticed from the manual and other papers in the glove box that the car was sold to a 2nd owner as a certified used at about 18,000 miles-- by none other than Don Ayres Honda. I find it extremely hard to believe that the dealership wouldn't have had any record of this. At best I was given erroneous information, and at worst I was lied to.As the days passed with my newly purchased car, I found various other problems. The car was cleaned poorly and hastily and had black residues over many surfaces. The seal on the driver's side doorframe was torn up. There were lots of scratches on the car that revealed themselves after several heavy rains that must have been covered up when I originally looked at the car. I tolerated all of these flaws-- after all, no used car is perfect-- until I found out about the recall. In an overabundance of caution, I checked the car's VIN for any recall notices and found that it was part of the Takata airbag recall, where the passenger airbag can shoot deadly shrapnel in an accident. The Honda website's recommendation? Don't let anyone sit in the passenger seat until parts are available for repairs. In late summer or fall. Unbelievable. To put this in perspective, before going to Don Ayres, I called a dealership in Columbus about a car I was considering. The man on the phone told me that it was part of the Takata recall and that he could not even SHOW me the car until it was repaired, much less sell it to me, because it was dangerous. THAT is how it should have been handled by Don Ayres. Now I can't even drive my family on a summer vacation without worrying about the person in the passenger seat being killed by a faulty airbag. I am so frustrated and hurt by this entire experience and I do not recommend this dealership to anyone.

The service at Don Ayres is always great. I switched from my previous dealership for service at Don Ayres because of how efficient and friendly they are. They treat my vehicle like it's their own, always making sure they get it right and sort out whatever problem I have. When I have an emergency need, like A/C that doesn't work (on the hottest weekend of the year) to a headlight out, they squeeze me in and take care of it. I really appreciate the hands-on service and attention they give to all their customers.

One reason we continue to buy Hondas is because of the consistently fine service we receive at Don Ayres. Doug's personal attention to details ensures that every concern we have is addressed and corrected quickly. The entire maintenance staff works together efficiently and effectively.

Wenl went in with our 3 kids to buy a mini van and our sales associate was amazing. HI'm and the finance department worked quickly to get us approved which when you are shopping with kids is a big plus. We felt they were more than fair with our trade in value as well! There was no pressure to buy he listened to what we wanted and helped us find the right vehicle. I will definitely be going back for any future car needs.(tried to give the buying process 5 star's but the site wouldn't let me)

Service on my vehicle is always completed in a timely and professional. All the peronnel at Don Ayres is kind and friendly. I had an oil and filter change done. First time ever after a couple days found the windshield fluid had not been filled. Minor detail and due to my schedule just filled it at home. Love Don Ayres and Jeremy Sullivan does an awesome job getting me scheduled.

One year after purchasing my Accord Touring Hybrid, the Sync system could no longer access the phonebook from my Android phone. I am not tech savvy but my original sales person Rick Kruger took the time during a busy weekday to re-sync my phone and get my contacts back.

Just want to say a big thank you to Rick Kruger and all the help you provided. You made the process very simple and easy and we absolutely love our 2016 Honda Civic EX-T! We did not really know what we were doing at the time since this was our first car purchase but would definitely recommend that anyone needing a car to go see Rick. He was very easy to get a hold of and responded back very quickly. Once again thank you Rick Kruger for taking such great care of us!

It was truly a pleasure to deal with a dealer where the salesman did not disappear "to see the manager" endlessly. The process in having the exact car we were looking for, a knowledgeable and helpful salesman, and a seamless process in explaining our payment options put us on the road in record time! Wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend Don Ayres and I love my Honda CRV!

My experience with Don Ayres Honda was a very pleasant one. The Salesman, Jeff Ward, was extremely courteous and explained everything about the used Honda CR-V I purchased. All of the people I dealt with during the purchase and financing were very courteous and knowledgeable, including, but not limited to, Ryan Coleman and Jeremy Todd. I will definitely recommend Don Ayres Honda to anyone looking to buy a new or used vehicle. I thank you all! Deanna Myers-Coppock.

Nathan Montange was the salesmen who guided me on my journey to trading in and purchasing a used vehicle that fits me perfect for who I am. He is very friendly and makes the process so much easier with his high spirited attitude. He was able to answer any questions I had and even put them into simpler terms. When you are young and looking for a new vehicle, it is easy to just go with what looks nice and say yes, I want that one. But the difference here at Don Ayers, they gather as much information about you just while having a conversation, just so they can start to put together a vehicle in their head that they believe you will enjoy in your life. Sure enough, Nathan Montange was able to help me get a great trade in value, and was also able to find me the perfect vehicle that has great gas mileage and that is going to save me money in the long run.

Found a 2014 Honda CRV online that looked amazing and Don Ayres was awesome at providing a great experience as I came to test drive and then purchase the vehicle. The staff were very professional and were incredibly patient and nice throughout the entire process. While I hope to have this vehicle for a long time, the next time I need to make a car purchase, Don Ayres will definitely be at the top of the list.

Doug Settle and Tony both have given outstanding service on my Honda vehicles! Being a female I do not know much about mechanical issues but they always take the time to address any of my concerns no matter how simple they may be with respect and are courteous! The oil change pricing is outstanding and a huge perk to buying a Honda from Don Ayres!! Keep up the great work!!

Despite so many ads to the contrary, prices for service at Don Ayres are not so much higher than other quality repair shops. In fact some services for cars purchased at the dealership are less that almost any competing shop. Services are scheduled, which means you know when to come in, and you usually know beforehand how long it will take. Very Handy.

The diagnosis was quick and well explained by Dillion. They arranged for the shuttle to take us home as it was necessary to leave the car there for a few days. Dillion made every effort to keep us informed of the progress being made on the work. Over all it was an excellent experience working with Dillion and would recommend him to others.

Customer service is a must and Nathan M. Hit the nail on the head. The entire process from finding the right car to the financing/end of sale was the easiest and least stressful auto buying experience I've ever had. There's a reason they are rated so well, they take care of you from start to finish...and they listen to your needs and find you the best car possible. Jeremy T. was in charge of the actual financing part, he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He got us an amazing interest rate and made the experience very simple.If you are in the market for a new or used car and you don't give this dealership a shot you're doing it wrong.

I just purchased my first Honda. Even if I decide that Honda is not the car for me, I will return to Don Ayres to purchase my next car. The sales staff was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and smiling. They made an extremely stressful day much more relaxed. I felt that everything they said was honest and I was reassured on all of my questions/concerns. Financing was easy and quick as well. The salesman (Derry) took the time to hook up my phone, set my pre-sets and show me all the features of my new car. I am very happy with the experience I had at Don Ayers.

I have always received outstanding customer service from Jeremy Sullivan, Svc Advisor, as well as, Doug Settle, Svc Mgr. We have been customers since '05. Whether our Honda Odyssey was undergoing a major tune up or routine maintenance, Jeremy has been & continues to be an excellent communicator about what is suggested to maintain the vehicle and to keep it running in top condition. We are now on our 2nd Honda Odyssey. One of our considerations for purchasing this vehicle was due in part to Jeremy Sullivan, as well as Service Manager, Doug Settle. It is rare to receive quality customer service these days, let alone in the automotive industry, but these guys are top notch. (p.s. If Jeremy Sullivan wasn't available, I would not hesitate to seek out Charles Suter as my Service Advisor...he has also delivered great customer service). Thanks Honda team!

We had the best service possible from both Doug Waltz and Doug Settle. They did everything possible to fix what appeared to be an electrical problem. The problem was so aggravating for a long period of time, but they persevered and performed numerous tests to resolve it. Their care and service was superior to that of Honda HQ in Torrance, CA. Their dedication, experience and work ethic ended up in us buying another Honda.

My sales rep - Darrin Bickel - is AWESOME!! I work in the leadership and customer-focused industry as a professional coach, and Darrin is truly an exemplary leader. He is a personable and very approachable representative for the dealership. He is impeccable with his attention to detail... his prompt follow-up... his flexible communications from email, phone, text based on my preferences... videos of the car/inside and out... his persistence in finding the exact Crosstour I wanted... the details of information he provided. We did this ALL without me previously knowing Darrin, not living in the Fort Wayne area, or even seeing the Crosstour before I bought it. I talked with 3 other Honda dealerships (Indianapolis, Mishawka, Evansville), and in each case I was unimpressed with the sales reps. I found I was following-up more with them, than they did with me. Their lack of motivation was annoying. Darrins follow-through was remarkably impressive. He truly became my trusted advisor and clearly must be highly valued by the dealership. He made my experience seamless! If I can serve as a reference for Darrin in the future, I would be happy to do so. ...Jo B

I've never gone to a car dealership where I didn't feel like the salesperson was faking everything until I came to Don Ayres. Josh could totally, truthfully answer all of my questions and was a huge help the entire time. Even putting up with my crazy parents too! He definitely gained a lifelong customer.

They have good service, and friendly technicians. However, the lead time to schedule basic service is longer than competitors. You may want to benchmark your competitors to see how far in advance customers have to call ahead for basic preventative maintenance and determine if additional capacity is required.

The Body Shop was excellent. The work needed on my '14 Crosstour was the result of another family car putting a small scrape and dent on the right rear of the car. The scrape encompassed both the fender and the bumper cover, which increased the cost.With the being an "inside the family job", the offending party had to save some money, so the quote - done when the damage was new - had some age on it when I made the appointment for repair. The pricing did not change. The repair was completed 24 hours earlier than expected and my car looks like new again!Everyone we met and spoke with the Body Shop was friendly, smiling advertisement for Don Ayres!

Sean stayed with me and helped me through the process of buying my car. He was most helpful showing me many different cars and colors. My needs for a car are somewhat different inasmuch as I needed a car in which my Walker, which is a newer model and more sturdier than most other types, could be stored behind the driver's seat. I wanted a smaller car and Sean worked with me in order to find the perfect car which is a Honda HR-V. I love the car and was very pleased with Sean's help. Sincerely, Gerry Teders

The Honda CRV reached its 100,000 mile marker. I have had such a pleasant experience with your service team. Doug made sure that I had a shuttle ride-since it was a lengthy service for the CRV. The shuttle driver was so nice and accommodating. I have had no trouble with the car since the day I bought it back in 2009. Doug made sure I had a shuttle ride and then back again. The waiting room was comfortable, iced soda, TV and a book to read. The work was done on a timely basis and everything explained to me. What more can I say - Perfect!

This is our 3rd purchase in 12 years from Don Ayres. We are Honda fans and were ready to upgrade our 12 year old Odyssey. I had been researching newer Odysseys for about a month online but found that Jesse was still able to educate us about some of the subtle differences from each model year. Jesse was also very patient as we visited 3 different times and drove a couple of different vans. We ultimately purchased a 2014 Honda Odyssey EXL.

This is the second time we had purchased a vehicle from Don Ayres Honda, but the first time working with Mr. Bickel. He was very courteous and helped us thru the entire vehicle selection process. He started with what vehicle we were looking at and tried to see what other options were available. He was systematic in helping us select from what was available to what would be manageable in our budget. With his help, we managed to find a well suited vehicle for our needs, reliable and with low miles. We are very pleased with our new Honda, and will likely come here again should we need a new vehicle.

I am very satisfied overall with my new Honda CR-V and I know that they will continue to take good care of me going forward.

I recently had our van in for a recall notice. The repair took longer than expected. I was called hourly and informed of the progress being made to correct the problem. The Service Staff is wonderful. Polite, courteous, and respectful of the customers situation.

It's always such a pleasure to helped by knowledgeable and friendly sales people. Nathan Montange knows cars. He helped me with all the technical and comfort details when ordering my new Honda Civic Coupe. I hope when I'm ready for my next vehicle that He'll be there to assist me again. Don Ayres Honda is a first rate Dealership. Clem

Our family has been buying Hondas from Don Ayres for many years now and the experience just gets better and less stressful each time. Buying cars from other dealers was a game and I always felt that we were cheated by the time it was over--either cheated of time with ridiculous games or cheated of money by the final deal. This has never happened at Don Ayres. The salesman actually knew the answer to every question we had about the vehicles--can't tell you how many times I knew more about the vehicle than the salesman who was trying to sell it to me (infuriating!!) I send anyone looking for a Honda (or comparable vehicle) to Don Ayres and will for the foreseeable future. My wife (who is unbelievable picky--she slipped up when she married me--everyone makes a mistake occasionally) loves them to pieces.

Doug Waltz has been an exceptional Service Advisor! We bought our 2nd new Honda Accord in 2013 and had several misfortunes with the Honda Service Department. The Service Manager Doug Settle went out of his way to address and immediately resolve the problems. Since Doug Waltz ( I would say he kinda got stuck with us...lol) has been participating in the care of our car we have not had any additional problems with the Honda Service Department. We could not be any happier with the service Doug Waltz has provided us. Thanks Doug!!!

I just bought my second vehicle with Darrin Bickel. I had considered buying a Subaru this time, but I did not want to part with the dealership (excellent service, pleasant buying experience) or Darrin. He made this new purchase just as easy as I remember from the last time. He goes above and beyond to get me exactly what I want (last time having a manual transmission brought in from another dealership, for example), and he is very comfortable to work with. Thanks, Darrin!

I've been buying vehicles for almost 45 years and there has only been one other dealership that has had the level of service and ease of the buying process Don Ayres Honda does. Rick Kruger was with us through the entire purchasing process and was very knowledgeable on Honda products. This was our 3rd vehicle purchased through Don Ayres and I would definitely buy here again. The service department has very friendly service managers and are quite reasonable in their rates. I enjoy the online ability to schedule service.

Working with Darrin has always been a pleasure. I've never felt pressured. This is the second time I have bought a car from Darrin and will absolutely be coming back to him the next time. During this purchase experience, I was unsure of which car to buy and he gave me his own personal life story and helped me decide what is best for me right now. Never did he try to get me into buying the more expensive car. I walked out happy and confident with my purchase, knowing I made the right decision. I appreciate his honesty, integrity, and transparency during the process.

Andy Hitzemann at Don Ayres Honda was knowledgeable, kind, a good listener, and patient as we searched for the right vehicle for me. He worked with my needs to find a van that could be modified for my disability.. The rest of the staff was also very helpful. Highly recommend Andy and the team at Don Ayers for anyone.

I am proud to be submitting this review as a customer all the way from Huntsville AL. We recently purchased a Certified Pre-owned 2015 Honda CR-V Touring AWD from Don Ayres Honda in Fort Wayne Indiana. After playing hardball and getting nowhere with an overly cocky dealership in our area over an almost identical car, we decided to expand our search to a wider area and take our business somewhere else. Shortly thereafter we came across the CR-V at Don Ayres. When my fiancee called about the car she was treated with courtesy and respect Exactly The Way A Potential Customer Should Be. Chad Oberlin, the Sales Consultant who assisted us, answered all of our questions about the car in a straight forward and timely manner. Even though we were hundreds of miles away, he still gave us the same level of attention and provided us with the same degree of outstanding service as someone who walked into the dealership in person. He was knowledgeable about the features and condition of the car and provided us with all the additional pictures and video we requested to feel comfortable about a long distance purchase. When the time came to discuss the price of the car, there was very little hardball played. Chad never attempted to provide us with misleading information or blow us smoke to justify an unfair price. When we finally reached a deal, Chad Oberlin and the Sales Manager Carlo Borg handled all the details of the purchase transparently and in a way that allowed us to feel comfortable even though we were buying a car from so far away. At the end the day we purchased the car at a Competitive Price and had a FAR better dealership experience than anywhere else we looked. A few weeks have now passed I can still honestly say we are Satisfied with the price we paid for the CR-V and we are Extremely Happy with our purchase. Thank you Chad Oberlin and Carlo Borg for a Positive car buying experience! I will happily recommend Don Ayres to anyone from my area looking for a new car. There are several others like us who would rather travel a few hours to get a fair deal on a great car rather than accept getting ripped off by the dealership down the street.Customer Service: 5/5Satisfaction with Purchase: 5/5Price and Value: 4.7/5 (It always hurts to spend money)Overall Buying Experience: 5/5

My entire experience at Don Ayers was seamless and efficient. From the time I drove up until my wife and I drove off in our new 2016 CR-V. Jesse was awesome! I traded a 2010 CR-V and had lots of questions about the new ones and the different models that are available. Jesse answered every question, he knows these vehicles inside and out. Jesse didn't sell me a car he helped me buy a car. I also have to mention Jeremy in finance. Explained everything to us and took his time even though it was the end of the day. Very low pressure. Don Ayers earned my business this time and in the future.

We purchased a White Diamond Pearl 2016 Honda CRV and I LOVE it. Talking with George Widman during our decision process was like talking with a friend instead of a salesman. He was friendly, knowledgeable and as excited about our choice of vehicle as we were. We were not only in good hands with George, but the entire team. They were all very attentive and made sure we were taken care during the whole purchasing process. We purchased our first Honda CRV from Don Ayres 10 years ago and we still have it as a second car now. I would totally recommend Don Ayres to friends and family. And... the CRV. :~)

Even though I've certainly checked out others.... dealerships as well as brands... I keep coming back to Don Ayres Honda in Fort Wayne, Indiana. All my 7 transactions to obtain a new vehicle have been seamlessly organized, incredibly pleasant and leaving me feeling very happy to be parting with my hard-earned money. Not only do they deal in my favorite product, but they also supercede any other dealership in customer service: EVERYONE working there greets me with a warm welcome.... and it feels sincere.... every single time. I am treated with the utmost respect. They cater to my every need. Even when having my cars serviced, they offer various options for my comfort/entertainment as I wait.... many off-site, to which they provide transportation. No matter what my business is there on any given day, I always leave happy! After 30 years of choosing Don Ayres Honda, they certainly feel like home. And, they continue to serve even better with every year! The salesman that helped me with my last 2 is the most awesome... Andy Hitzemann.......like dealing with family. He REALLY has my best interests in mind. Many of my friends are also loyal customers, so I am aware that each and every one of us is left with a feeling that we are their most important customer. I don't know how they do that! I simply cannot say enough about this place, except one must go there to experience the very best customer service I've ever known......in EVERY department. We are blessed to have this dealership in Fort Wayne, even though I'd travel far to repeat my experiences there.

If your shopping for a Honda, or even just shopping for a car in general this is the place. Look no more. The level of customer service here is incredible! From sales to service this is an all around wonderful and customer focused dealer.Here is the reason why I'm writing this review:I purchased a brand new 2016 Honda Civic Touring from them. About 4 days after I took it home I had the airbag light come on. I took it in the next day and was given a car to drive while it was fixed. After I got the car back the airbag light came back on. I took it back in and was given another car to drive while they looked at mine. I was frustrated at this point and spoke to the sales manager, Rick Squires. He offered me an exchange, he would give me another Civic exactly like I had. I declined because I wasn't sure about the new Civic. They say not to buy a car the first year they do a major redesign and I did. So instead they returned the car and backed me out of the loan. They didn't have to do all of that. They could have just continued to work on my car and said sorry. My sales person was Bill Fenolglio and I can't recommend him enough. He was patient and very helpful. He's not your typical pushy car salesman. So please, if your considering buying a car, buy a car from here.

We have purchased 2 cars from Don Ayres in the past 3 years; a new 2013 Accord and a used 2012 Civic. Everyone from the sales side was very helpful in picking out the right car to match our needs.We have had both vehicles serviced exclusively at Don Ayres and have had a positive experience. The appointments have always been efficient and the facility clean, and the staff professional.Keep up the good work.

Doug Waltz took care of my vehicle and time and time again goes above and beyond. He is very kind, professional and goes out of his way to make me feel like a welcomed and appreciated guest. He even pulled my car up for me when he didn't need to and got my bill corrected without my asking when it wasn't correct. He's offers fantastic customer service and I would recommend my family and friends to Don Ayres and to request Doug anytime they needed to take their car in.

The department's system for reminding customers about an upcoming appointment is nice. I found that all employees were courteous, helpful and pleasant. The only way to improve the customer experience would be to serve better coffee in the waiting area. And maybe a string quartet.

I will never purchase a vehicle elsewhere as long as Don Ayres is around or service elsewhere!

The bay door was opened as soon as I pulled up and I was greeted right away. My oil change was completed in a timely manner. I did notice after I left that the tech had suggested a brake job however it was not mentioned when I paid. However, I love this dealership! The waiting room is very nice and I had some nice conversations while I was waiting. I also love the convenience as it is very close to my house.

Celeb was great! To be honest, each department that I dealt with was wonderful. I told Celeb what I wanted, what I didn't and my financial needs. Celeb showed me exactly what I wanted and didn't try to push me into anything else. He made the process fun, quick and actually enjoyable. The prices were fair and he still negotiated a bit with me. The warranty is amazing. I am a very happy customer and I will be back to work with Caleb.

Caleb made our car buying experience the way it's meant to be. My wife and I went there first and then looked at a few other dealerships. We found the car we wanted at another dealership but, because of how Caleb and the rest of Don Ayres's sales staff treated us, we went back to them for our new car.

My husband and I had a great experience at Don Ayers. We came to look at a specific vehicle and they were very helpful, accommodating, and friendly. They made the process of buying a new vehicle easy and were willing to answer every question that we had along the way. They found the best interest rate for us and saved us from having to contact any banks. We would highly recommend Don Ayers Honda in Fort Wayne.

Recently I had my Honda Civic Hybrid serviced at Don Ayres Honda in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The customer service was outstanding, and the manager, Doug, took the time out of his busy schedule to right a wrong for me and my husband. We were very happy with the outcome of the inquiry he made for us to the Honda Manufacturing Company on our behalf. I would recommend buying and servicing your car at Don Ayres! I plan on purchasing my next car there in the near future. Thanks to all!

I live in the Chicago suburbs and saw an awesome Accord with installed accessories I wanted. Called up Darrin Bickel and told him I lived 3.5 hrs away and was really interested in the car. I only wanted to come out if he could come to the price "out the door" I was aiming for and he did!Upon arrival Darrin kept everything quick and easy. They had the car cleaned up and I was on my way. Will be buying my next car from Don Ayres HondaBest car buying experience I've ever had. These guys break any stereotype you have about buying cars.

I went in for my scheduled oil change but the day before a light had appeared on my dash and the idle was very rough. When I arrived I explained all of this to Ben(who is always courteous). When Ben came to tell me things looked good on the van I asked about the light and the rough idle and was told "that was probably an oil change light and your service person didn't mention anything with the idle." When i paid and got in my van the light was still on so I went back in and asked about it and was told," well that must have been an engine light and that would be a $85 diagnostic fee plus whatever repair may be needed. You can schedule that through those doors or call in." Really? Why wasn't this addressed after I first mentioned it? I could have at least had the diagnostic done while I was there. I have had other service done and am usually quite satisfied but this was all frustrating to me. As soon as you pull in the bay the first thing they do is turn the ignition to write numbers down...the light was on and I mentioned it so a good service would be to mark it, note it and get back to me while I am waiting.

I was in a wreck and quickly needed a vehicle. I used AutoTrader to find Don Ayres, and saw a car that would meet my needs (affordability, condition, ), but the dealership was hours away from me and I had no relatives or friends in the area to scope things out for me. I would essentially be "buying blind."Darrin was my eyes from the first day. I was wary, but Darrin put my apprehension to rest. Real honesty, right off the bat. He took a video of the vehicle, gave full-close-ups of outstanding issues. He then told me a thorough list of scheduled repairs, and never tried to "spin" the information or gloss over areas where I had questions. On top of that, he didn't pressure me to "buy buy buy," and actually sent me a copy of a personal mission statement stating that kindness is what matters with customers. Several days went by while I looked at other cars. Darrin kept in touch, but never made it seem like my purchase was end-of-the-world urgent matter, which I appreciated a lot.Don Ayres was always at the top of my list for prospective cars across multiple states, but I have to say working with Darrin tipped the balance. So, I made an offer, drove out in a rental, and Darrin worked with me quickly. I left in a mere two hours with a nice used vehicle that I could feel confident about.

I test drove a 2013 Equinox late January and I noticed the TPMS light was on. During the purchasing process of the vehicle the salesman and his manager (Jesse Kindig was my salesman, Bill Hullwick was the manager) assured me that they would have the issue resolved by delivery (the next day). I was so excited that I took a half day off work to get the financing done and take delivery. When I arrived at Don Ayres my new Equinox was looking good!!! Jesse mentioned that the service dept recalibrated the TPMS sensor and the issue was resolved. I shook Jesse's hand and I was on my way. I was thrilled, until I was about 10 miles from home, the TPMS light came back on! I pulled over and called Jesse and he said that the service dept could work on it on Monday. I took the vehicle to them on Monday to be fixed. I was able to pick the vehicle up on Wednesday understanding that the issue was resolved, after they had to take it to a Cheverlet dealer to fix it, I was about 12 miles away from the dealership and again, the light came on!!! I called again and was told that the following Monday they could get it in. So again, I drove the vehicle to Don Ayres to be fixed and they once again took it to the local Chevrolet dealer to be worked on. I picked it up again on Wednesday after a BCM (body control module) was replaced. When I arrived to pick up the Equinox before I left the property I noticed the light was on. I discussed with Jesse and the manager that was there (Carlo) and even discussed the possibility of returning the vehicle in trade for another vehicle on the lot, I was very frustrated!! I said I would like to take some time to think about my options, I took the Equinox home and thought about all of the reasons why I liked the vehicle in the first place... I contacted Jesse and said I would like for them to try once more to fix the problem... I took it back to them on Monday, now the middle of February... They had taken the vehicle back to the Chevrolet dealer and they had it until Wednesday and had replaced a receiver that seemed to have done the trick! I have had the Equinox fixed now for almost 2 weeks and I am so very happy that I have had no further issues with the TPMS sensors or system.I am very thankful for Jesse, Bill and Carlo for making the very stressful situation easier to deal with and for making my many many many trips back to the dealership a little easier. I would definately return in the future to purchase a vehicle from Jesse, he did a great job and made life a bit easier for the long long month it took to get the issue resolved.

This is the third vehicle my husband & I have purchased from Don Ayres. They have been courteous, informative, displayed integrity and helpful! Could not ask for more. Our former saleswoman had retired, so this time we worked with Andy Hitzemann who dealt with ALL of my questions, ALL of my waffling on which vehicle and in the end he simply took great care of us. Due to a personal situation, we opted to switch which vehicle we would be purchasing at the last minute and Andy made it happen! Then he discovered a hiccup as I was ready to leave with the new purchase. Andy took me personally to the service dept. , handed me over to Jeremy Sullivan, explained the hiccup and Jeremy & his service tech took care of it! Hurray!! Love my 2013 Honda CR-V!!

I've purchased an 08 Civic Si and an 07 Accord from Don Ayres. Caleb made it a relaxing, laid back, fun process each time. He had a genuine concern for getting me what I wanted, not what he wanted me to get. He sends me cards and letters to make sure I'm still happy and that all is well with our cars and the family. Love the service and of course being able to have a few laughs whenever I am in there! Can't recommend Caleb enough!!

Darrin is one of the easiest people to work with. He made my experience smooth and easy. I never in any way felt like I was dealing with a high pressure salesman. It was more like he was a friend and we were just throwing around ideas of what I wanted in a car. I would recommend Darrin to my friends and family. Thanks Darrin I really appreciate you! :)

Darrin was the best sales guy that I have ever worked with in my entire vehicle purchasing history. My wife and I were in desperate need of a new van for my 7 member family. He took the time to take a video of van to show me the condition. I was unable to meet with him during the day, so this was a huge help in us picking a new car. Even though my wife and I were undecided about our purchase, Darrin was patient with us making a decision. The test drive and purchase of the van was the best that I have ever encountered. We will definitely be back to Don Ayers and Darrin Bickel for our next car purchase!

As many woman can attest we hate cars...we need them but when they break down or you have to get a new/newer one it is like the end of the world sometimes!! But not at Don Ayres, they make everything so easy its like buying shoes!! Just pick one out and wear it home!! I will never buy a car anywhere else.

All I can say is Thank You Thank You Thank You...Jesse at Don Ayres Honda was truly a lifesaver for me when I had to trade in my car and buy a new one. The stress that comes along with this type of purchase was made so much more easier for me in how everything went along very smoothly. From the service guys to the test drive to the paperwork to the financing all of the Don Ayres team should be recognized as the best place to buy a new/used vehicle. I personally will never buy another car anywhere else! Thank you Don Ayres for taking such good care of me!!

This was my first new car buying experience, and Caleb was absolutely phenomenal. He presented me with great options and wasn't pushy, but instead created a relaxing atmosphere. I ended up purchasing a 2014 Honda Pilot and have absolutely no regrets. If your looking for a new vehicle, check out Don Ayers and ask for Caleb!

2 years ago I bought my first Honda CR-V from Darrin and was pleased with how the transaction came together. On Feb. 6 of this year, I contacted Darrin once again to look out for another Honda CR-V. Within 2 days, he had found another vehicle for us to take a look at. 3 days later I drove it off the lot. The transaction went flawless because of Darrin's attention to detail. I can't say enough good things about the sales and service team at Don Ayres. Thank you Darrin.

First time shopping at Don Aryes....will be back!The entire process was simple and easy. Darrin was easy to work with, laid back and answered all my questions. The beauty of this entire experience was that I did not have to spend countless hours sitting at a dealership. Darrin and I communicated via phone, email and text!!I came in....drove the car....and completed the rest of the process the next day!! I would definitely give Don Aryes and Darrin two thumbs up!!! Thanks again!!

Buying a car is scary, but buying your first car can be even scarier. I found great comfort in Darrin as he walked me through the whole process of buying a car. He made the car buying experience easy! He wasn't pushy, and asked the appropriate questions to find out exactly what I wanted and needed out of a car. He ended up finding the exact car I wished, in my price range. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and even more satisfied with the care that came from the Don Ayres team. I would highly recommend, Darrin and the Don Ayres Team to anyone who is looking for their next car.

Darrin was the salesman who helped us purchase our vehicle without even seeing it! He sent us multiple detailed pictures of the vehicle and a very detailed video of the vehicle. He was great to work with and even answered some of my most specific questions about the car. When the car was delivered to us, it was in immaculate condition and very pristine! The driver drove it down during a snow storm and was very cautious and considerate. I could not have been more pleased about the whole situation. They were so great!

We were not expecting to buy a car,we were "shopping around" and were very pleased with the Excellent Service from Chad Oberlin and Bill and may we add Jeremy Todd in finance! We have never given feedback on a purchase before, but again we wanted to express how satisfied we were with our purchase and Excellent Service!!!

It was nice to meet you with a deal on the vehicle but still the deal was too tough to negotiate. I found a piece of legging under the hood. This could harm any part under the hood. You need to look at it more cautiously.

Don Ayres had the best selection of used Hondas. I searched several locations locally but came back to them for the selection. Our Salesman, Caleb Craun did the best job of e mailing our family the cars which fit our desires and budget. He was prepared to show them when I arrived. Overall a low key, but professional business that knows its product.

We've purchased multiple cars now from Darrin. The last one was done over the phone, site unseen. Total transaction was completed in less than 2 hours. I think that says it all.

I found a Kia on CarsGuru.com, I called and spoke with Darrin. I explained to him that I was out of state and that I preferred to negotiate over the phone prior to driving more than 2 hours one way. Darrin took my offer to his boss and came back with a counter offer (I knew this was going to happen). We agreed on a price prior to the traveling there. Darrin, prepared the paperwork, warmed the car, and was extremely polite. What I especially like was that Darrin knew what he was doing and didn't have to go get help or stubble around. I am a very busy person and I prefer someone with experience in order to get me in and out the door. Thank you Darrin for making this deal happen. Most who know me, know I am somewhat difficult to sell to mainly because I want to feel as though I'm getting a good deal. Because the dealership countered my offer rather than saying "the price is what it is" which is what I was told by several other dealerships. Good experience at this dealership. Thank you

Bought a CPO Civic in August. I noticed during initial test drive the the steering wheel was ever so slightly pointed to the right, but it drove in a straight line fine. I didn't feel the need to complain about something so small that didn't appear to affect the car. However; during the first snow fall/ice the car would jolt left and right and was dangerous to drive on the highway with snow/ice. Thought it would be covered under a warranty, but it wasn't. Called the Salesman Rick, Honda N.A., and spoke with the manager Bill Hulwick and they all told me to pound sand because it was past the point they'd do anything (Honda has a 6,000mi/6 month guarantee on the alignment). To further the insult I noticed my CPO paperwork initially did not pass the car in the road test for "Tire/Wheel/Steering" (Item 180). Who knows if this was ever addressed. Ended up taking the car to another Honda dealership to have the work completed.I purchased a CPO car so I wouldn't have to deal with stuff like this. Pretty sad when a company is willing to lose a customer over a $70 alignment. I did not have a great negotiating/buying experience and so far the service and support has been no better. Find another Honda dealership to help you out.

My family has a long history of purchasing new and used vehicles from this dealer. I have owned two vehicles from this dealer and brought them business for my third. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with this how this dealership is run now. Both of the cars I was interested in were listed online before they had been serviced and detailed and were in Don Ayers own "sell-able condition." I expressed strong interest in one car, and Darrin Bickel, a very nice and understanding experienced salesman, was going to call me when it was ready to test drive. Darrin is the only salesman from this dealership that I have dealt with that has called me back when he said he would and genuinely tried to help me get what I wanted so this review in no way represents his service to me. This review is for his superiors and all of the other salesman I had the displeasure of attempting to work with. I do not remember who all they were which is why I selected all of them and only gave a recommendation to Darrin. Darrin called me and told me another salesman sold the car I was interested in shortly after my visit to the dealership. This means that the car was sold while on the lift in the service department and being worked on. The car was not able to be ran or driven in the condition that this dealership allowed it to be sold in. That being said, if you are willing to pay the high prices they list outright without hearing the car run or driving it then go here. If you want to get taken advantage of then go here. I myself will never do business with them again nor will my family.

I had been looking for a used Honda Accord coupe EX-L with a manual transmission and had almost given up when I saw Don Ayers Honda's posting on cars.com for the car I was looking for. I tried to call the dealership on Christmas Eve but they were closed and I was not able to leave a voice mail. I was very surprised when I was contacted the day after Christmas by Darrin Bickel and was immediately impressed by his professionalism and knowledge of the model. The dealership is 170 miles from my home, so I made arrangements to drive to Fort Wayne the day before New Year's Eve to see the car and take a test drive. Darrin kept in close contact with me, even calling me on the road that morning to be sure I had the right directions. Don Ayers had only had the car for a week, so Darrin pushed it through detailing and inspection and made sure the Honda pre-owned certification process was complete by the time I arrived in Fort Wayne. The car is beautiful, exactly what I was looking for, and I drove it home that day. Everyone at Don Ayers was friendly and helpful. I was even able to get a trade-in value for my old car, which I am selling to a relative, to confirm that I was pricing it fairly. In the weeks I looked for "my car," I spoke with a few salesmen at other dealerships who seemed more interested in getting me into a new vehicle. Darrin appreciated my in the car, as he had driven the same model a few years earlier, and he shared my excitement over finally finding a 6-speed manual EX-L in the color I wanted with the options I wanted. I am confident I paid a fair price for the car and I like knowing that, even though I am far away, I can always call on Darrin for any help I need regarding the car. I may even return to Fort Wayne in a few years when I'm ready for my next Honda!

As soon as I was greeted by Caleb, I knew I was in the right place. He went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I left in the vehicle that we wanted. He was very honest throughout the entire thing, and was very good at putting my concerns to rest. I highly recommend seeing Caleb any time you visit Don Ayres!

Darrin Bickel offered detailed attention while being patient and not pushing the deal. All the staff at Don Ayers Honda were genuinely warm and concerned in their interaction and care for us as the customer. Carlo found the car we were looking for and Ryan assisted very well in the financing. This is the place to go to receive great service in purchasing a quality automobile.

I recently purchased a used 2006 Honda Civic from Don Ayres Honda. The car was in great condition, they took great detail in preparing the vehicle before putting it on the lot. Caleb was very helpful, informative, and extremely friendly. He was not pushy at all like other dealerships! Dealing with Don Ayres was quick, smooth and I was very comfortable with my first big purchase. I would highly recommend them!

I wish to begin with saying my delay in doing review has no bearing on the excellent service I received back on October 20 & 21. This is all attributed to my conversations & service from Charles Suter.This began on October 20 when I explained to Charles what had been going on with my car since October 16. Naturally he couldn't really do anything till the car was towed and delivered by tow company. Charles advised me when the car arrived. Even though the appointment was scheduled for 10/21 Charles started addressing issues on 10/20. For that I am extremely grateful. This was at 3:15 PM.At 3:27 PM I received a call from Charles advising the green immobilizer light came on when he tried to start with key that came with tow truck driver.Charles made arrangements with Dave the shuttle driver to come to my residence to pickup the rest of keys I had in my possession. Again, good service by Don Ayres Honda as Dave the shuttle driver called to confirm when he would be arriving.At 5:12 PM Chuck advised none of the other 3 keys with key fob work. Charles stated he would get back to me next morning (10/21)10/21 10:09 am Charles called to advise the immobilizer system had lost its memory on all the keys. He advised they would need to reprogram the immobilizer. He quoted me a price for time only - no parts.He confirmed I wanted them to run diagnostic. I asked him to replace batteries in key fobs and check left map light.1:09 PM Charles advised the oxygen sensor was unplugged. Gave me pricing on balance of items above I had mentioned.I did not note the times of rest of the events that day but the shuttle driver picked me up, took me to Don Ayres and I picked up my car that was finally running again!After paying my bill and going to my car I discovered I had no radio channels. Charles very willingly came out to my car and obtained a code and went back in to dealership and looked up something on computer. He returned to my car and in a matter of moments I had all my radio channels back and was soon to be on my way in my car.I GREATLY APPRECIATE Charles' "Customer is Valuable" type of attitude. He was quite proficient in the way he began addressing issues the day car was delivered. If he had not been on top of things I realize I could have been yet another day without a car. He began addressing issues on 10/20 as soon as car was delivered and kept me updated with all issues.

After careful research in purchasing a car, I was interested in the Honda CR-V. Looking for a good deal, I went with the 2015 model in late 2015 (November). While Fort Wayne only has 1 Honda dealership, this Honda dealership is apparently one of the top dealerships in the state and my experience supports that.This dealership is professional and kind and definitely focuses on customer service and retention. Throughout the process, I worked mainly with Andy H. (Sales) and Jarod Burgess (Finance). I'll start with Andy. I set up a meeting with Andy in which we spent 90 minutes talking about my car interests, research, thoughts, and went for a test drive. Andy answered all of my questions, was very knowledgeable, and struck the perfect balance between helpful and overly "sell-y." Andy gave me a tour of the dealership, introduced me to a couple members of the service team, and welcomed me to the dealership. Everyone I spoke with at the dealership had at least 6+ years at Don Ayres, which was pleasantly surprising.After our initial meeting, Andy and I communicated via text throughout the next week when I had some basic questions and set-up a meeting later that week. In our second meeting, I ended up selecting a different model in the same car. Although I arrived at 4:30p on a Saturday (dealership closes at 6p), Andy stayed until 8:15p even as we went to different departments (finance, etc.) where he wasn't directly involved. He set-up specific settings on my car and connected my phone to Bluetooth. He went above and beyond his job and I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone. My friends, family, and strangers. I also worked with Jarod Burgess during the finance portion of the deal. Jarod was friendly, courteous, and helpful in his explanations. Although this is the point in the conversation where the dealership presents various insurance plans and you must act quickly (which did happen), I did not feel like Jarod was pressuring me to decide in any way. He walked me through all the paperwork, answered all my simple and complex questions thoroughly. Another good person.This dealership does not have that stereotypical car dealership vibe where everyone seems sleezy/charming and conniving. In fact, we got the deal we were looking for without any bargaining whatsoever. My family was so shocked that one family member tried to bargain on floor mats, etc. because she was frustrated she wasn't able to negotiate (as we got the number we wanted immediately as they gave us a $1,000 discount). Everyone here made my buying experience so enjoyable and I look forward to working with Don Ayres in the future.

I would have giving five stars if I wasn't missing a valve stem cap. after replacing the cap I checked the others and they all were very loose. I wouldn't think it was a big deal but I live 40 min away and my Dad has had the same problem when he has a service at your dealership. all in all it was a great experience.

Our SRS light came on. Upon further investigation the driver seatbelt and sensor in the passenger seat needed to be replaced. Parts were ordered and next appointed made. After having the car almost all day found out not all parts were not there. Contacted Doug Settle who quickly stepped in and had a rental car for us within 30 min. After that Doug did further research into the problem. Discovered there was an alternative to replacing the sensor in the seat which was going to be expensive. We were able to get the van back the next day. We have been Honda owners for years and will continue to be. Would highly recommend Don Ayres to friends.Thank you for the excellent customer service.

Over the past fifteen years, my husband and I have bought numerous Hondas (Se, Accords, CRVs) from the Don Ayes dealership. Everytime we plan to purchase a new vehicle, we do look around at other dealerships, but we always come back to the Honda brand and the Don Ayres dealership! We come back because of the outstanding, friendly service provided by every department. I want to say that our dealings with Doug Settle have always been exceptional. Doug has solved lots of issues for us and we are grateful for his expertise. He has a very strong work ethic and really, really cares about his customers. Charles Suter is our service manager for our cars. He is also top-notch: friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The service on our cars is always done right. Problems are diagnosed correctly the first time and then taken care of without return visits. We appreciate the peace of mind which comes from being a member of the Don Ayres customer family!!

I was completely satisfied with my initial 5000 service experience on our 2015 CR-V. The service advisor, Dillon Steenport was pleasant and very professional. The vehicle was serviced in less than the estimated time and the cost was less than I can buy an equivalent oil and filter and do the work myself. This is just a continuation of the overall experience we have had with Don AYRES as a dealership. 5 ?????????? All the way from start to finish. You never get the feeling you are at a large dealership as everything is done on a person to person basis. Thanks,Dennis Raesner

The service team treat their customers as individuals and do what they can to make their wait time enjoyable. They have appropriate cable channels available. They have charging stations for all types of electronics. They have a shuttle van that takes you to the mall and back. The team lets you know of things that your car may be in need of and what servicing needs to be done the next time. Their prices are unbeatable. I was driving over one hour away to take my car to the same auto group I had purchased my car from in another state. I was paying three times the amount for an oil change, then add the drive time, and gas, it was a waste of hard earned money. My boyfriend told me to start coming to Don Ayres and I have never regretted the decision to change.

There is NO comparison between Don Ayres Service Department and others in the area. I am 65 years old and have owned many vehicles over the years. I have taken my vehicle to this service department for 13 years and never had an issue with the service. The service advisors are professional and extremely knowledgeable. The CRV sold itself. Frankly, because of the service department I limited myself to buying a car at this dealership and spent 2 years investigating the vehicle I would purchase. The salesman was also knowledgeable and friendly but I only drove the car once and consulted with my service guys (Chuck and Kevin) to "seal the deal". I look forward to continuing the great relationship and service I have become accustomed to.

We love our new CR-V! Darrin was very helpful throughout the process. We told him where we wanted to be and he helped us get a great deal. At no point did we feel as though we were being asked to go outside our comfort zone. We will definitely go back when it's time for the next car!

My wife and I were in the market to replace her 1999 Chrysler Cirrus. We had done our research online and picked out a few dealerships to visit with a lengthy list of cars to drive. We were very glad we chose Don Ayres as our first (and only) stop. When we arrived, Shane greeted us and listened to our requests. He took the time to understand our needs/wants and made great suggestions. Not only did we drive Honda vehicles, but we drove several other makes/models on our list. Shane gave us his honest opinion on each vehicle and never pushed us in any specific direction. Never once did we feel pressured to make a decision. Ultimately, after visiting Don Ayres we did not feel the need to look anywhere else. Shane made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable. We love our new Honda Accord and will definitely be coming here first when we are ready to buy our next car.

First let me say how wonderful it was to work with Andy Hitzemann. Andy kept in touch with me for over six months to ensure that I would be able to have the type of vehicle I wanted. My only "complaint" if you will was when it came time to do the signing. Prior to that point we had discussed pricing and had been told that they could work with us to keep our payments at a certain price. Unfortunately on the day of signing, in the office we found out the monthly payments were going to be significantly higher. There we were with my old car ready to be turned over and we were hit with this news. We felt blind-sided in many ways. I wish that we had been told of this issue by phone prior to the signing date. It took one week from the time I choose the used vehicle until it was ready for me. That was fine as I knew it needed to be cleaned and checked out. I would have thought, however, that in that time frame, we could have been notified of the change in pricing so we could have possibly made another decision or waited. That was the only "negative". I am happy with the car. I think I went too fast in choosing, however, as there were a few things I wish the car had that it doesn't. Otherwise I am happy with it. Thank you.

My wife and I began doing business with Don Ayres Honda in 2005 when we bought our first Honda. I'm still driving our 2005 Civic and my wife is driving our 2014 CRV that we traded our 2007 Pilot in for last August.The sales staff was great but most of my experience has been with service department. Jeremy Sullivan is my Service Adviser of choice! However, I've been well taken care of regardless of whom gets me checked in or out. Since we purchased our vehicles from Don Ayres, our oil changes are less than $14 and the shuttle service to and from work is priceless!I will continue to give my business to Don Ayres Honda because they continue to give me the best service for my time and money.

Went shopping for a car not really expecting to buy anything, but after looking around at cars showed to me by Jeff, i fell in love with one! By the time i test drove the car and made my decision, it was almost closing time for the dealership and the bank. But the guys at Don Ayres worked with me and made the process simple. After all the running around i got my new car! It was clean as can be and the service was awesome!

I have been a Don Ayres customer for over 25 years. During that time, we have always owned at least one Honda (we now own 3), and we have always had Don Ayres service our vehicles. Throughout that time, my cars have stayed consistently roadworthy, and I never feel as though I've been taken advantage of. On rare occasions when problems have come up, this dealership has always done the right thing.

I have always had a good experience at Don Ayres Honda. Had all of my car service there even Toyotas. They are fast and efficient. Perhaps a bit higher prices but it's worth it to me do you have genuine Honda parts not inferior second rate parts. When I get my next car it will be from Honda.

I just bought a Honda CRV in 2 hours. Got out of my car, was immediately acknowledged by Kyle Coleman and was treated with the upmost respect. He was very knowledgeable and was very patient while I drove 3 different cars. I told him he had 1 shot at this ....I was not spending all day at a car dealership with the usual back and forth. The team was incredible. 1 shot and I feel I got a great deal. They did not lowball me on my trade in. They gave me more for the trade in then I had researched on KBB. Took money off the new car without my request to comply with 1 shot. I love my new car and would like to thank the team of Don Ayres Honda for making buying a car painless. Highly recommended the team at Don Ayres

Doug is an excellent help and talent. Glad to have worked with him. I was however a little disappointed with the service tech, whoever that was, because I received a comp wash but the rims / caps were left out and were filthy, also, on my way home, the TPMS tripped, having the tires rotated, caused some concern, none of the tires PSI matched which lead me to think that whoever rotated the tires didn't check the PSI even though they checked that off on the worksheet.

I took my Honda in for an oil change and tire rotation on my lunch hour. Check-in was quick. I went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch and as I was leaving the restaurant, I was getting a phone call that my car was ready. I went back over to the dealership, checked out quickly, and was on my way back to work in under an hour. On top of efficient, the employees were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure that I had a good experience.

I was not excited about venturing out and buying a new car because my old car had been in a minor accident and was totaled out. We started looking around, specifically at a Honda dealer because we are a Honda family and Darrin answered all of my e-mails and took a video of the car so we knew what we were looking at before we got there. Although we did not buy a Honda we are excited about our new purchase and know the dealership will stand behind it. They worked with us on the price and look forward to picking it up today. Great experience.

I had a great experience buying a used car with Chad Oberlin. He helped me negotiate a fair price for a very clean and well cared for used car. I was never pressured by Chad and felt his primary goal was to help me buy a car, not to try to make a sale. Highly recommended! Overall a very positive experience at Don Ayers with Chad Oberlin and I would recommend them both to family and friends.

Purchasing a car is not something that I've ever enjoyed. So much so that my last car before purchasing my Honda Accord was 12 years old!!!!!!The salesmen at Don Ayres were no pressure. My husband and I looked one evening, the next evening a friend and I test drove 3 vehicles. After making a decision on which vehicle I wanted my husband and I went back 2 days later and purchased the car. It was a 2012, low miles, great looking car. Shane offered to show us a brand new car, we looked but when we explained we always purchase used, he was fine with it.Then Jeremy assisted us with financing which was quick and easy.Since then we've returned to have our oil change, what SERVICE. Not only did they change the oil, they inspected the car and washed the car!!!!We're sad that will not be able to use them continually. We've moved to Colorado and the Honda did great cross country, The ride was very comfortable and economical on gas.Would highly recommend this dealership!

I was met almost at the door by Darrin Bickel and was brought to his work area and was made to feel comfortable and amongst friends. He listened to our automotive needs and took us to the lot and show room to attempt to satisfy those needs. We were guided to the best quality and a price range that we were comfortable with. There was no pressure felt by us during the presentations and test drives. Everything was handled professionally by not only Darrin but by the supportive staff. I would highly recommend Don Ayers Honda.

I generally do not like the car buying process, so after a lot of studying I decided on the car I wanted. After a quick online response from Darrin I scheduled a test drive. Darrin was very friendly and did not pressure me into a car I could not afford. The entire process was very smooth and quick. I did not have to haggle the price or feel stressed that I was not getting a good dealer. I want to thank you all your help and I plan to do more business with you in the future.

2Weeks ago a scheduled a appointment.Everything was ok.i love 25 miles south of Ft Wayne. I drove it home and I noticed whirling noise from the tires. I had a friend of mine ride with me to see if I was imagining things. He thought it might be a bad tire so I took it to Zurker's in Monroe to check tires.They asked if I had the tires rotated lately. Yes yesterday. The front tires were going the wrong way for directional tires. I immediately called yours service severice dept and told them about the problem. The reasons why I called was not to complain but to make sure it would not happen to anyone else. Mistakes happen it did noruin the tire,I just thought is was better to be positive so your dept would be better.

My used but new to me had a check engine omission light on so I took it back the first day I picked it up. I was told to come back in the morning and leave it. I was given a rental car for as long as it took till my car was done. I was treated like a queen and although the mechanic dropped a part putting my car back together. He felt terrible but I understood it was an accident. He did a wonderful job. I had a rental and all was good. My car works fine and after all this a sender broke on the door. I took it back to them and was on my way within minutes. Thank you for a job well done.

We have owned Hondas since 1976, straying only once and returning, never to stray again. Hondas are THE BEST! Don Ayres will always have our business. Over the years we have had 9 Hondas and only 2 salesmen. Tom Parker and Rick Kruger. Rick is so fun to work with. The service department is awesome also. Everyone we've dealt with from Rick, financials, and managers have all been knowledgeable and helpful!! We've also converted our daughter-in-law to become a Honda owner!

Doug is very informative, thorough and efficient when getting maintenance service. I've only been to the service center one time for service because Doug has been quite patient with this new Honda owner, explaining to me when I need service. He lets me know what should be done during the maintenance service appointment and what I should do next time I come in for service.

Buying a car from Don Ayres means you become a part of the Don Ayres family. The sales and service staff at Don Ayres are committed to quality, excellence, and service that is unmatched in the Fort Wayne area. Service pros like Doug, Jeremy and Troy go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need when you need it. Our family has purchased five cars from Don Ayres over the years and everyone has been a winner. last October our 2000 Odyssey van was "retired" with 203,000 miles on it with never a serious maintenance issue. We gave it to a family in need and it is still running strong, and yes, we have another Honda Odyssey.

Excellent treatment, problem diagnosis, and repair service after a breakdown during a trip from Michigan to Tennessee. Charles Suter was in charge of managing our problem and he also helped us find a rental car to continue our trip while our car was serviced at Ayers. Mr. Suter was a huge help in getting our car scheduled for a diagnosis within a few hours after our breakdown and phone call to Ayers. He researched with our Michigan dealer to find a problem with our Odyssey's repair history and was able to determine that Honda's warranty was extended to cover the cost of the repair. Mr. Suter kept us informed via telephone while the repair was underway and he made sure we were able to pick up the vehicle, completely repaired and with no charge when we returned from Tennessee. That was the most thorough. efficient and lowest cost vehicle repair service I ever experienced. Mr. Suter showed great concern for our problem and in assuring us that it would be handled. Finally, the customer waiting area at Ayers Honda was really comfortable and provided great amenities.

We own two Honda CR-V automobiles ( a 2002 model and a 2012 model). We have owned the 2002 model since 2006 and were very SATISFIED with the vehicle, and VERY PLEASESD with the service we received from Don Ayres! Thus, when we needed to purchase a second vehicle, we went back to Don Ayres and purchased a 2012 model that we enjoy very much! We find that the Honda CR-V fits us very nicely as our children are now grown. We believe they are very efficient, comfortable, and safe automobiles, and we believe that the folks at Don Ayres Honda are fair and reliable people and we trust them. WELL DONE DON AYRES AND STAFF!

Shane Sullivan was straight forward and personable from the first phone call! Very nice to work with. My wife and I were looking for a fairly specific type of vehicle for her. Don Ayres had a used car that fit closely the type we had been searching for. We also had a fairly tight comfort zone for the amount we wanted to finance. They respected both as our needs as the customer and worked with us to get us into a nice, clean, mechanically sound car. We drove almost 2 hours to test drive the car they had. The car was experiencing some minor pulsating in the brakes during our test drive. Shane and team promised to have the issue resolved for us. In just under one business day the car was ready to be picked up! When we drove it again the problem was gone, as promised. Shane and others at Don Ayres worked with us to achieve our goal. The team at Don Ayres made us feel like more than just a potential sale. I believe they treated us like they would want to be treated if they were in our situation.

Service was pretty expensive. Over $249 dollars for A1 service and only received 5% discount. I had an acura TL and used to get my car serviced but I don't ever remember spending this much. Makes it not worth having a budget friendly car if I am going to pay this every 6 months.

Great service at the time of the sale followed up by terrific service for the life of the car. Since we have kept previous Hondas well over 10 years, that's a LOT of routine maintenance. That said, we haven't had any experience with any non-warrant service...the cars have been repair-free. Who can ask for more?

Love our 2015 Honda Fit EX we just purchased from Don Ayres Honda. The entire process from visiting the dealership to driving away with our new car was totally hassle free. In fact it was quite pleasant. Our sales representative, Andy Hitzemann , was professional and extremely knowledgeable. And he listened and found us the perfect car. We are extremely pleased with the final price and how we were treated by Andy and everyone at the dealership. During our search for a new car we visited a number of dealerships. Ayres stood out. We felt as though we were valued customers. Never was there ever any pressure. Just an honest, straightforward presentation of their inventory, pricing and dealership. Without hesitation we would enthusiastically recommend Andy and Don Ayres Honda.

Went in to browse without the intent to purchase yet. Salesman, Cleveland was soft spoken and patient and showed us a car we decided to buy. Everyone was nice. My only complaint since we were not financing the car was the amount of time it took to finalize everything.

Darrin was great and made buying our van an excellent experience. Easy to work with, friendly and personable - he took lots of time with us. We went back and forth between a few choices and he worked hard to make sure we could get the van we wanted within our budget. Darrin really seems to care about his customers. He believes in the cars he's selling and his dealership. A great experience and highly recommended!

Jeff Gilmore is professional and friendly. All of my questions were answered. I did not feel pressured to buy a car. I feel that I got a great deal on the car that I bought. The cars are not over priced. Don Ayres is an trust worthy dealership. If you are thinking of buying a car this is the place to do it. I highly recommend Jeff Gilmore as a sales person. John Hoffman also was very nice and professional . He also worked hard to make sure that I got the services that I would need. He got me a great interest rate on my loan.

Very willing to go the extra mile to make your visit a positive one. This time i was in for my regular oil change ane tire rotation and i was in and out in no time.when i purchased my car i REALLY appreciated the straight forward pricing- nothing makes me want to leave a dealership more than having a salesman track me down the moment i step on to the lot!My family and i actually named another dealership "the shark tank" because it was so bad!We just pulled into the lot and actually laughed because you could just see the sales people converging on us from all sides! (Just give a person a chance to look!) Thats where you are different! Your people are there if you need them but yet give you room to look!

I had been searching for the right vehicle for several months. I was almost set to settle on what I knew wasn't the best deal when I decided to expand my search; and I'm glad I did. I drove from Pendleton, IN to Ft. Wayne and it was well worth it. Jeff Gilmore was friendly, honest, and professional. He made sure I was satisfied with the car I chose instead of just trying to push me into one. I wasn't just a sale, I was his customer and I mattered. When I got to work with John Hoffman on the financing he made sure I had the best deal possible right from the start. He, too, was friendly and professional and great to work with. I didn't have the greatest credit, but I work hard and he did the same for me to get the best deal on this car. I will be a repeat customer to this dealership because of the great service provided by Jeff and John. If you are looking for a car, then you should be their customer too!

I came to live in Fort Wayne briefly for a contract job and took my Honda Civic to this dealership several times for new tires, maintenance, and oil changes. Each time I visited, Doug Waltz and the personnel there ensured my car was taken care of (and at reasonable prices). Doug provided helpful suggestions that were honest and I never felt like he was just trying to sell me something. They provide excellent customer service and had I not moved away I would definitely continue to go there!

Took our certified pre-owned CR V in (purchased from this dealership a month earlier) for a window repair, to get the A/C checked, and to get the low fuel light looked at. They had to keep the vehicle overnight to repair the driver's side window. The A/C was working as it's supposed to, so the things we noticed (squeaking, puddle on the garage floor) are normal for this vehicle. They wanted us to bring the vehicle back to calibrate the low fuel indicator. When we were driving it home, the low fuel light clicked on at 13 miles until empty. The service person we dealt (Doug) with was great.

I recently purchased my first Honda from Don Ayres and was entirely impressed with the whole sales transaction. I was met very quickly in the lot by Jeff Ward and he was able to help me narrow my vehicle search according to my criteria. I had decided to lease a new vehicle for the first time and Jeff was able to quickly and completely answer all my questions regarding the leasing process. Everyone I dealt with at Don Ayres was very friendly and helped me get my new car quickly and easily. I definitely recommend Don Ayres and plan to make any future vehicle purchases through them.

My husband and I bought two vehicles on the same day. We spent many hours going through the used car lot and test driving multiple vehicles. Our sales representative could not have been any more patient with us. He was very friendly and allowed us to take our time. We ended up with two Hondas. We liked the prices for both vehicles and the care that was given to us by all staff members.

I was really nervous because my car had died. I went to Don Ayers and they hooked me up with a lease on a Honda Accord which I love. The service has been excellent too. I know that if I ever have problems roadside that I have roadside assistance too. I would definitely good back, but why bother? This Accord is the car I plan on giving my first born because they run so long. I think that's saying something considering that I don't even have a kid yet! Ty and Doug do a great job!

I just had my Honda Odyssey in for the 120,000 mile service and my Honda Accord in for the 90,000 mile service.

I can always feel confident that my vehicles have been inspected and serviced properly when I bring my vehicles to Don Ayres Honda.

Don Ayres Honda has the perfect combination...no hard sell, listens to your needs, and personnel who go above and beyond expectations. I have had Hondas since the early 1990's and have never been pressured to purchase a car that I wasn't interested in buying.

I dread buying a new car, high-pressure sales people, pushy, inexperienced, finance guys who have no idea what they are talking about, all-around 'shadyness' and 'sketchyness'.That is not what you will find here. I was never considering Honda for this purchase and found a review of the new HR-V online. Don Ayers had one left on the lot and Jeff Ward offered to take me for a test drive. Loved it. Beats out the Subaru Crosstrek hands-down. My purchase was fast and painless. I feel these guys are incredibly fair and no part of the process felt "sketchy or shady". If you are planning on looking at Don Ayers, I highly recommend talking to Jeff Ward. He is one of the most professional and experienced sales experts you will ever get to work with.

Chad was very friendly and helpful in the buying process. The reason we purchased "another" Honda product from Don Ayres is mainly the service department and Doug Waltz. Good service is very high on our wish list for a dealership. Don Ayres has been excellent, and we are very pleased. Thank You All! I just recommended you to a friend, and he is probably going to visit you soon.

Ladies, fear not! Doug Waltz, Doug Settle, Kevin Cappelli, Troy Johnson (mechanic Dave S.), along with many others not mentioned, have always been friendly and helpful when I brought in my 1982 Honda Prelude & now my 2001 Accord in for service. I have not ever had a problem with any of the staff. You will be treated like a person and they will take time to explain things and answer questions. They are great about caring for my service milestones and the times that other things pop up! When I have a service that takes a few hours, the shuttle is a great way for me to get a thing or two done while I wait. Otherwise the waiting room & restroom are nice enough, I do not mind waiting there. Complimentary beverages and a cell phone charging station are a couple of extras they offer. I recommend Don Ayres Honda Service for anyone with a Honda! They do service other vehicles (makes and models) as well. I am sure you would find the service to be what you expect it to be... great!

He has gotten us in the right vehicle each time and when my lease is up next year im going back to Don Ayers and am going to have Matt help me again. He really cares about getting you in the right vehicle for your situation. He helped me get a Honda Pilot which will be great for my growing family! Thanks Matt!

Affordable oil change with a genuine Honda oil filter you can't really beat it. Always know the work done to my car is quality work. Had work done before owning a Honda car and recommend them to all my friends who drive non-Honda vehicles as well. It's even better owning a Honda because nobody knows a Honda better than Don Ayers. Keep up the good work over there!

Enjoyed my experience at Don Ayres. Came to test-drive a CPO Honda Civic; the car looked great, inside and out, and I eventually ended up buying it. The salesman, Caleb Craun, was very friendly and helpful in answering all my questions. He even made a follow-up phone call after the purchase to make sure I was happy with the car and answer any other questions I might have. The overall experience at this dealership was great and I would definitely consider buying another vehicle there in the future.

In October of 2013, my husband and found the perfect vehicles for us at Don Ayres. I had visited every car dealer in Fort Wayne and discovered that Don Ayres had the cleanest cars that fit our needs at the best prices. At other dealers, I would find vehicles that fit the price range but then there would be a big dent or other issue. We were so happy with our purchases that we brought my mother in a couple of months later when she was ready to replace her car. She loves her new car. More recently, the engine went out on my son's car (a regret purchase from a small car lot). We immediately turned to Don Ayres and working with Jeff Gilmore, my son was able to buy a great car and begin to establish his own credit history. What's really great is that Jeff helped us when he thought we "belonged" to another salesperson who was unavailable at the time. He helped us so we wouldn't be left waiting. A couple of weeks later, my mom returned to work with Jeff to find a car for my nephew. He too, left with a car in which he could feel confident and comfortable. Moreover, my son and I had some questions about how some of the features of his car worked. Jeff took the time to show my son what he needed to know, a couple weeks after the sale was completed. When we are ready for another vehicle, we will be back to Don Ayres!

Everyone at Don Ayres Honda is friendly and helpful; from the sales people to the service staff. Darrin Bickel sold us our last car, which was a certified pre-owned Civic. We love the car. Darrin checks in on us all the time to make sure we are still happy with our car and the service department takes care of us whenever we need repairs or maintenance (just a note that the repairs have been self-inflicted, not manufacturer defects). We enjoyed our shopping and owner experience so much that we decided to buy our next new car from the same Don Ayres Honda group. We had a little difficulty finding the right car for us, but that was mostly due to all of the great choices. There were a few minor problems with the new car when it arrived, but the staff was quick to provide solutions and to make sure we were happy. We had to wait quite a while at times to finalize our purchase, but that was due to the late hour and the busy holiday sale going on. That was the only minor issue with an otherwise flawless and pleasant car-shopping/buying experience.

I just want to let you know how pleased I was yesterday, Wednesday, July 27th, when I came into your Service Depaartment, for recalls. I needed two air bags replaced. My real problem was I had not been able to use my radio since last October, when my battery went dead. All I had to do was mention this to your friendly Service Advisor (Charles Suter). I asked him how much it would cost me to get the code for my radio & of course, could they do it while they were working on my recalls. He was so nice and informed me there would be no cost and he would be able to do this for me. He made my day. I do need to mention that we did not buy our Honda at your establishment, it was bought in Florida, where we resided at the time of our purchase. I had heard from my daughter & son-in-law, who have purchased their Honda's from your establishment, about your terrific service, I now know they were not exaggerating. Once again, thanks again & a special thank you to Chuck. Sincerely yours, Gloria Clore

Looking for a smaller car with better gas mileage. Was trading in my SUV. I had no idea what I was doing. Recently divorced after 30 years together. He handled all of this stuff. My first worry was I was a woman. Thought I would be taken advantage of because of my lack of knowledge of cars. Then I met Caleb Craun at Don Ayres. Not once did I feel any of the emotions I worried about. He was honest, caring and very knowledgeable about all of my questions. And the fact he was funny and made us laugh was a bonus. Caleb actually even agreed to talk to my brother in Ohio because I trusted his opinion. I know my brother was a hard on him with some issues with the car I was considering, Caleb was honest and polite the whole time. Very patient. Because of this, I felt better about my choice and purchased the car. Not everyone would deal with that. I left with a car, confidence, and a smile on my face because I did this on my own. Thank you Don Ayres for being so good to your customers. I also want to thank Rob Braselton from your parts department......because of him I drove to your car lot that day. I work with his wife and she knew my situation. Rob sent her a text of the cars in the lot in my price range. Because of his time and dedication to his job...he brought you a customer. Thank you, Rob.

I was a little nervous about bringing my Honda in service for the first time, but Doug was helpful, pleasant, and unhurried as he answered my questions and took care of my car. Even the next day, when I had a question about a note on my service documents, he explained cheerfully and thoroughly. I was told my service time would be an hour. No, it wasn't. It was less than that. The waiting area is pleasant and thoughtfully designed. (And, it was so nice that the TV didn't overpower the area.) From drive in to drive away, getting my car serviced was easy and pleasant.

We looked online and saw a couple of cars we were interested in checking out for our son. We met Jeff Ward once we arrived at the dealership to show us around. He could not have been any more helpful or polite as our son test drove three different cars before he selected his favorite. I checked the pricing and found it to be very fair on all the cars we were interested in driving. The process was as seamless as possible (I don't like buying cars....hence my 4 vs 5 stars, but not their fault). This was the fourth car we've purchased at Don Ayres in the last 10 years and we'll be back when our youngest is ready to look for a car for himself. Don't hesitate to give these guys a chance.

The thing that impressed me most was the thoroughness with which the service adviser addressed the cars needs, looking at the past maintenance history, the future needs considering the mileage, and my expectations. The inspection and resulting report gave me a good idea of the future maintenance needs as well. All in all, a great job on the part of Charles Suter.

2004 was the last time I had purchased a new vehicle and I was not looking forward to it even though it was 2015 and time to buy. We had visited one local dealership who pressured us from the minute we stepped on the lot although we stated we were just looking. When we finally broke away, the sales manager was still demanding to meet with us the next morning. After many positive recommendations from co-workers and friends we decided to visit Don Ayres Honda. What a difference in sales technique! Shannon Hoover and Shane Sullivan made it painless. My husband & I went one evening just to look around. Shannon was a no pressure saleman . The next evening I took a friend along so I could test drive vehicles. Test drove 3 of them. Another day my husband test drove the Honda Accord that I liked. Shane assisted us that day, showing us used and new. When we explained that we were only interested in used Shane said he understood & once again no pressure. On Monday, we returned to purchase the car. No hassle, best price in the area. Don Ayres Honda, Shannon & Shane restored my faith in car salesman. Jeremy Todd made the financing quick & easy as well. Thank you everyone for making purchasing a new car actually enjoyable!

We bought a car for our son from Andy Hitzemann years ago (I believe we might have been his first sale). This time it was my car that needed replaced. We ended up buying a 2015 Honda CRV. If you're reading these reviews hoping to find a good sales agent, then I'll make this easy.... If you want to be treated by someone who is friendly, courteous, professional, not pushy, who takes pride in finding you the right car, who works really hard to get you the best deal, and who is incredibly knowledgeable about the car you're looking at, go to Don Ayres Honda on Lima Road and ask for Andy!!!

Dillon Steenport went above and beyond what normal what normal car service places would do. Had problem with oil leaking after oil change-one call to Dillon and he took care of everything.

Our dealer Ed Feipel came highly recommended by a close friend, but I had no idea walking up to the showroom floor that I would develop a friendship with this man. He worked with us through some tough situations and was patient as can be. As for knowledge of cars safety he was on point.

Everything went well, just as the salesperson said it would. Promises made and promises kept. Convenient, clean, professional, inviting service area that is staffed with friendly and knowledgeable people. Answered all our questions as if they were the most important questions they were ever asked, regardless that they probably are asked the same questions again and again.

The sales crew was very helpful in meeting the needs of our growing family. We went in looking for a 3rd row vehicle and were looking at an SUV. However, by asking the right questions and understanding our needs, we were shown an Odyssey which gave us the people capacity of the Pilot and increased our storage and "moving stuff" ability substantially. I gave them a price and they made the numbers work with their vehicle and our trade. The buying process was simple. The automatic doors, lift gate, extra space and safety items were the selling points and were all highlighted by our sales person. We love the color combination, the ease of adjusting seating options and could not be happier with our purchase from Darrin and the Don Ayres team.

Salesman Darrin Bickel responded to my query instantly and texted me a clear and reasonable offer within 30 minutes. I spent days talking to other dealers trying to make certain it was the best deal. It was. And Darrin was the most knowledgeable, friendly, and laid-back of all the dealer staff I spoke with. I could have saved myself a lot of work by just going with them in the first place. I made a 10-hour round trip to work with Darrin and the Don Ayres dealership.

Customers come first at Don Ayers! We purchased a 2007 Honda CR-V. From Sales making sure we were happy with our choice then having the car ready when we showed up a day early to take delivery to Finance making sure we understood our purchase. Then, 2 days after delivery, an issue developed with the car, our salesman took us right to service, service drove the car even though they were booked for the day then made sure we had transportation. Before we were a mile away from the dealership, we got the call telling us our car was ready and we could pick it up any time. Every Team member is in board with making customers happy. A Customer Service Grand Slam!

I had a vibration type of noise that was coming from the rear deck of my Honda Accord that happened when driving over rough roads. Doug Waltz listened to my description of the issue and assured me that they would find the cause of the noise and have it corrected. Right now no noise and am very satisfied.

I owned a 2012 CVR bought it at Don Ayers and it was a great Vehicle and the service Department did a fantastic job keeping me updated on future service work to keep my vehicle in tip top shape. Jeff did show me some newer CVR'S but the Black Charger caught my attention! I love Honda's!!! but Bill and Jeff did their Job and That Black Charger is my Pride andJoy!!!! Don York

I had a quick check in and reviewed what I wanted done. Everything was done to my satisfaction and we reviewed what should be done at my next service. The car was washed and I was ready to go. The only down side was I had to pay for this great service. But there is no free lunch. I'll be back in the fall.

Been buying from Don Ayres exclusively since 2003 and have been having service done here even longer. No one can touch the price of an oil change. Having the dealer change the oil has also helped me with other things that I was not even aware needed attention. We'll keep coming back!

Darrin Bickel doesn't get just 5 stars, he gets 10 stars!! We just purchased our second vehicle from your dealership in less than 2 years, partnering with Darrin both times!! Over the past 50 years we have dealt with numerous sales people at numerous dealerships, and we can l honestly say that our 2 experiences at Don Ayres have been the most satisfying, thorough, and carried out expeditiously of any previous dealings we have had. Also we would be remiss if we didn't mention the friendliness of all your staff even though they were not involved in our purchase. Good mornings, good afternoons, hellos were received from every staff person within our vision. And again, it was John who handled our paper work promptly and with full explanation. Thank you all again!

The service department was excellent. They were punctual, professional and accommodating. I was disappointed with the body shop. I was told by someone in the service department that I could get my dent fixed for a reasonable price. When I went to the body shop I was told to ask for a man. I can't remember his name. The lady did not get him. Instead she gave me an estimate for $600. The service department thought I could get it fixed for less than $100. I will have to take the repair of my dent to someone else. I hate to do this, but if I can get it fixed for less they will get my business.

Just purchased our second vehicle from Don Ayres. We always ask for Mr. Andy Hitzemann because of his professionalism and trustworthiness. Don Ayres sets higher standards than most dealers and it shows in everything they do. When we need another vehicle- we are driving the 120 miles it takes us to get to Don Ayres and Andy. I think that says it all !

Darrin did an excellent job of finding us our Honda CR-V Touring model in the exact color and interior we wanted. Darrin was extremely easy to work with and is not a pushy or high pressured salesperson. This was our second Honda from Don Ayers and we have found them to be a great dealership for both sales and service. Thank you Darrin and keep up the great work. Ed & Jill

Doug Waltz, Doug Settle, Kevin Cappelli, Troy Johnson (mechanic Dave S.), along with others not mentioned, have always been friendly and helpful when I bring my 2001 Accord in for service. I have not ever had a problem with any of the staff. They are great about caring for my service milestones and the times that other things pop up! When I have a service that takes a few hours, the shuttle is a great way for me to get a thing or two done while I wait. Otherwise the waiting room is nice enough, I do not mind waiting there. I recommend Don Ayres Honda Service for anyone with a Honda! They do service other vehicles as well and I am sure you would find the service to be what you expect it to be, great!

I purchased an older but newer honda accord and it runs and drives perfect!! Darrin helped me find my perfect car, and got it at a pretty reasonable price too !! I cannot thank him enough for all the help he gave, and the patience he showed twords me and my 2 year old. Darrin made me feel comfortable, with no pressure what so ever. He legitimately cared about finding me the right car, I mean it took me about 3 times visiting the lot before I made my final decision lol I was not pressured in any way what so ever, and I think thats a very important factor with finding the right dealer. I will definitely be getting my next car for Darrin at Don Ayers Honda !!

Rick and his team were great. The no haggle price was just that, after researching 2012 Honda Accords mine was priced just right, with a warranty and certified! After one day of owning my car, I realized there was a chip in the windshield that I did not notice while purchasing. I took it back in and showed Carlo, and he took care of replacing the whole windshield for me! Jarrod, Carlo, and Rick are great guys making sure I got the best service of ANY dealership around. They got me in a great car with the Don Ayre's Great Service guarantee! That's why my family ONLY deals with Don Ayre's Honda.

He will make sure you purchase the vehicle that works best for your family's needs and budget. Our service professionals are Doug Settle, Jeremy Sullivan and our favorite Troy Johnson. They care for our vehicles as if they were there own on every visit. They always update you on any service detail and make sure you leave with a clean vehicle. Overall Excellent Service on Every Visit because you become family!

Found 2 screws in one tire on a Saturday morning...not too many repair choices. Took it to Ayres and Jeremy looked at it and replacement was the only possibility, i.e., not repairable. The whole set was evenly worn and on the last 1/3 of tread life so replacing only one tire wasn't an option. He got me a couple of quotes and I left telling him I wanted to think on it, the tire wasn't leaking as the screws had sealed I checked a couple of high quality sources that I have used over the years and found that the Ayers price was comparable to the other sources. I took it back in and dropped it off around 10am and had a complete 4 tire change over, with nitrogen fill, by 2:30 in the afternoon. The tires are great, they have been to Indianapolis and Ohio this week and ride perfect.The only thing I would like to have had was more information on the tires such as traction, road noise and tread wear ratings from real usage by real people, not test track stuff.

Darrin's quick action when a used vehicle came in on trade that I was looking for helped me snag it before anyone else could! The Pilot had not been through service yet when I decided to buy it but Don Ayers still put it through its normal service routine. Very pleased with how the whole transaction went.

I wait less time at my dealer for an oil change than I have at other so called "fast change' locations and for a similar or lower price. They are always quick to get me on my way and very courteous and smart. What mean by the later is that they take the time to figure out what helps me budget, minimize my time sitting around, and keep from spending more money at a later date. Very professional and a nice crew.

We spent a total of about an hour and and a half total at the dealership, and you can't ask for much more than that. We bought a used van and Darrin went out of his way to make sure we had everything we need. We didn't feel any pressure at all, and we had all of our questions answered. They set up for our van to come back and have all the scratches touched up. We brought our two children in which can be stressful, but Darrin was kind and understanding. Thanks!

Matt explained the options on the various Accords and there was no high pressure at all.Once we decided on the model ;he spent almost an hour showing us the features and how each of them worked. We will most certainly will deal with Don Ayres and especially Matt for any of our vehicle needs!!Thanks again, Matt!!!

We bought our first car from Don Ayers Honda last October. We have taken it in for two oil changes since the purchase. From sales to service, we have been extremely impressed with the professionalism of the staff and their focus on customer satisfaction. We have dealt with many dealerships and service departments over the last 23 years. Don Ayers Honda has proven itself to us that they are, in our view, head and shoulders above the rest in providing customer satisfaction and an exceptional overall experience whether you are buying or need service on an existing vehicle.

He has earned my trust and I highly recommend him to anyone who is ready to buy a new or used car.

I was pleased that Doug suggested changing the timing belt when I needed the serpentine belt changed at 77,000 miles. I had never planned to keep a care for over 100,000 miles until I had switched to a Honda. So I was unaware of some issues that need to be maintained in order to accomplish that goal.

Andy is a man of patience. No matter how many times I stopped in just to look or ask a question, Andy always had time for me. He was never pushy and was always encouraging. He wanted us to have exactly what we wanted in a new vehicle. He presented our offers to his manager numerous times, for what we considered a good deal.

We bought a corolla in 2012 and gad a great experience with Darrin so when our minivan started breaking down he was the first person we contacted. He facilitated a great deal for us which was great but his personal skills are what sealed the deal. He remembered things about my husband and I from when we bought our first car from him. Things that he should not have remembered. He is amazing and I recommend him! We worked with Jeremy (helped us find a great financing deal) who was amazing as well! I highly recommend Don Ayres!!!

When I walked into Don Ayers I knew that I wanted a Honda Fit with just the basics. I appreciate that Matt was eager to listen to my needs and never tried to sell me more than I wanted. The process of buying a new car is a little scary I am happy that Matt was the one who helped with the entire process. If you are looking for your first new car but you're a little nervous I would definitely recommend seeking Matt out! Matt was recommended to me by a coworker and he proved to be a great recommendation and I would gladly recommend him again.

Right from the start, I felt welcome in the dealership! Mr. Hitzemann was very friendly and assisted me in finding the perfect vehicle with ease! I felt no pressure nor stress as he explained how the certified program worked, also as we reviewed features of the vehicle. As well as working with Mr. Hitzemann in sales. I also worked with Mr. Todd in the finance department. He was very friendly and helpful as we covered the options for my financing. Long story short. I absolutely recommend Don Ayres to anybody looking to get a car! From the very start till even after you've left the dealership. They do their best to make you feel like family. I am more than 100% greatful for the gentlemen who put their time in to make my 'Don Ayres Experience' as stressfree and pleasent as possible. Thank You Very Much! I plan on keeping my business with Don Ayres for a long time to come!

My husband and I were very pleased with our experience at Don Ayres. We felt welcomed and there was absolutely no pressure. Caleb Craun was our salesmen and was extremely helpful and friendly. We would recommend him to anyone. Our financial advisor was also accommodating and caring. Our overall experience at Don Ayres was fantastic and we would definitely purchase another vehicle there in the future.

Jeff Gilmore was very helpful with my recent purchase. He was very nice to work with and extremely helpful. He also didn't try to push me into buying anything, like I have experienced with many other dealerships. Overall I would highly recommend Don Ayers, especially Jeff to anyone looking to purchase a new/used car.

I would highly recommend Don Ayres for their friendly customer service and efficiency in dealing with my purchase. From the moment I walked in I felt very comfortable with dealing with everyone there and especially my salesman Darrin Bickel. He was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about the car I was looking at. He has followed up to make sure I am happy with my purchase and not having any problems which I greatly appreciate. Ask for Darrin if you go in and tell him I sent you if you want a truly great car shopping experience. :D

I had an appointment and the car looked at right on schedule. The service rep pointed out several items that were scheduled and let me decide how to take care of them. The washed the vehicle and returned it on schedule. I always have an excellent experience at Don Ayres Honda. They are professionals!

Just bought a Civic EXL with navigation. I was very impressed with my sales person Chris. Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable but he went to great lengths to make sure we got the right car at the right price. We took a several demo drives and got just what we needed and wanted. The entire experience was professional yet personal. I would recommend Don Ayers as a dealership and Chris as a salesman.

I always get my Civic serviced at Don Ayres. The service department is always efficient, and is helpful in recommending upcoming services. I recently had to replace wheel bearings and they did a great job. I truly appreciate the great service I get there. With their help, my car will last for years.

I have been looking for a very specific Honda for quite some time now. I was attempting to purchase my vehicle locally in Northern Michigan however I had no luck. When I found the Don Ayres dealership on my search results I had finally found the vehicle I had been searching for. I immediately inquired on the vehicle and spoke with Gabriel. He was incredibly knowledgeable with the Honda brand & knew all the answers to my questions. I didnt get the typical car salesman feel from him. We had been communicating for a few days until I had finally decided to purchase the car. It was such a smooth transaction for me. Gabriel had walked me though absolutely everything I needed to know and kept in contact with me through the entire process. I truly enjoyed working with Don Ayress sales team. They are above and beyond for customer service! The only thing I would like to critique would be when I was finalizing my paperwork the loan department the gentleman was more concerned on selling me an additional warranty plan than actually going over the loan documents with me. After I had told him that I was uninterested in the additional product he flew though the loan documentation. I had no idea how much my loan payments would be, and when my loan is due until I asked. I feel that is something that should be covered before any paperwork was singed. Also, the $500.00 I had used to hold the vehicle (with intent to get refunded back) was applied to my loan without my knowledge. It wasnt until after I had drove 240 miles back home did I realize the $500.00 hadnt been discussed and they processed it into my loan. Overall, I had a great experience with my vehicle, and the sales team. I love my 2012 Honda Accord Coupe and will continue to drive the car until all the wheels drive fall off. Thank you, Don Ayres!

Chad was our salesman and he was great, would absolutely go back to him! Didn't pressure us, just showed us what was available and answered all our questions. (A few hours less when signing the paperwork would have been nice.) I'm excited we get oil changes for $12.95!

First Class Operation. Everyone at Don Ayers is courteous and very knowledgeable. From the guy who raises the door right on through the young ladies you pay for the service. Everyone is very pleasent and helpfull and obviously well trained in how to work with and support customers. Whomever is in charge of training they have done an excellent and very complete job to make sure that every employee knows and understands how important they are in the Customer Service equation. Nice to work with people who truly understand what great customer service and relations really means.Keep up the great work. I'd be happy to drine a brand new Accord, with Ayers logos and ads to help you increase your business even more.Thankss for listening.Chuck Kleinhenz

I spent an inordinate amount of time doing my due diligence, so I didn't feel like I needed to be "sold" anything, but knew what I wanted. In turn the Gabe Tichenor did his due diligence as well, making sure I had been shown other options in my price range.Bottom line: I love my Crosstour now and loved it from the minute I drive it off the lot. Perfect car for me, its size and versatility is exactly what I wanted. Kudos to the Don Ayres dealership for a great car buying experience.

We had a great Sales Rep. Ty Odle. Showed us everything we wanted. Was not pushy or just showing us Honda's. He showed us several different makes in our price range. Great financial adviser as well. Did everything he could to stay within our budget and great interest rate. We were considering buying a 2008 Toyota Rav4 at another dealer.Ended up buying a 2011 Honda CR-V with less miles and better condition. We were very pleased with our buy process.

My wife and I found a 2012 CRV online with a great price and I drove 200+ miles to get it. I was pleasantly surprised to find the sales team matched the price... Great! Adam Heiser was top notch. I left with my 2012 CRV. I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive again when it comes time to purchase another vehicle.

I take my 2013 Civic to Don Ayres for it's 5000 mile interval service. This is the first car in 30 years that I will actually be responsible for what it will look like with 100,000 miles on it. The service team at Don Ayres will help me accomplish that goal. They are all very friendly and they make me feel like my Civic and myself are the most important thing they have going that day.See you at 25000 miles.Bill Lowen

We have used Don Ayers for service for the past 12 years, and had purchased 6 vehicles from them over that time period. It was time to replace one of our sales vehicles, so we went again to Don Ayers.Don Ayers pre-screens all their used vehicles in a way that gives me confidence. It is still a used vehicle, but their processes take away a lot of the uncertainty.In the past, I knew what I wanted, so buying usually required one or two test drives. As a business owner, I try to be respectful of the time of other companies and salespeople. We try to do our homework in advance, and make the sales process easy for the salesperson as well as for us. But this time, I was changing to something smaller with better gas mileage, and I wasn't sure what I wanted. It required 7 test drives before I finally settled on the vehicle I purchased (Sorry Darrin). But Darrin patiently helped me do my homework "on the spot" this time.Darrin Bickle is an excellent salesperson, steady, knowledgeable and hard-working. He has been committed to Don Ayers for a long time, something I value. He is the type of salesperson we like to work with. No hard sell, no gimmicks, very patient and pleasant to work with. He helped me land on the right vehicle, even though it was not as good for him as a salesperson. This is the mark of a true professional, the kind of salesman one can trust, and a great representative of the quality of personnel that make Don Ayers such a great dealership.Vehicle #7 is a beauty! Thanks Darrin!Oh, and Ryan Coleman, you made the signing party brief and friendly, the highest compliment I can pay to a finance department. Many thanks.

Just finished up buying my 2nd car from Don Ayres in a year! Bought a really awesome Odyssey almost a year ago and decided that I was over the whole minivan adventure and opted to get something a little bit more "sporty." I ended up buying a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander and while it doesn't have everything that my Odyssey had, this car is SO MUCH FUN! Had another great experience with my salesman, Caleb! He was funny, charasmatic, honest, and thorough. Can't say enough about him and his wonderful team that he works with. Even after running into some warranty issues, Caleb, Carlo, and Jeremy went over and above to do what they could to accomodate us after the misunderstanding. Something not everyone would have done! I appreciate the hard work, honesty, and quality of service! Hands down, would recommend Don Ayres all day, every day!

Andy Hitzemann, the Honda salesman has helped us purchase new Hondas for the past 7 years or so and before that another excellent salesman who has since retired helped us purchase Hondas going back to 1986 with a new Civic. We have also purchased several used Hondas from Don Ayres over the years for our children and the service department and the body shop have always provided excellent service. We are already thinking of buying a new Honda HRV in the near future so we hope Andy is still around when we are ready. By the way, our first Honda was a 1979 Accord hatchback we had to buy used because back then there were no new ones in stock.

I hadnt been to a car dealership in over a decade and was a little a apprehensive about about walking into one. The Don Ayres team made the process easy and straitforward. You still need to keep your wits about you to be sure you are comfortable with the price you are paying for what you are buying, but the overall experience was positive.

We were out looking for a car and we randomly saw Don Ayres Honda and stopped in just to see what was available. We were greeted by Ed promptly. He was very helpful in telling us about the cars, the lot, the pricing, and how they selected used cars. Ed was very polite and asked questions to help us find a car. He never tried to pressure us into anything and he showed us what we were looking for and have lots of info about the vehicles. We found one and test drove the car and really liked it. So we left to do more shopping. We looked around and couldn't find a deal elsewhere. We also found we weren't treated as well as Ed treated us. So we went back to buy the car. Ed was so helpful and explained the whole buying process in detail. He even offered to try to find us better financing. It was a great experience. If there's one thing i learned, it's that customer service wins every time. Good customer service makes all the difference and Ed understands this. Thanks again, Ed, and our thanks to the sales manager who made this process go smoothly.

I find the service department at Don Ayres a pretty pleasant experience. Great service, I always leave knowing my CR-V is going to get me to my destination. I frequently travel to Western NY so my tire rotation is especially important. The 500 miles needs to be stress-free and the service provided at Don Ayres fills the bill. Thank you!!

I own a 2014 Honda CRV and a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The airbag light was coming on intermittently for the past year and a half on the Ridgeline. I called this to the attention on the service manager Doug Settle and my service representative Justin Price. Although this was a very difficult and challenging problem they traced it down and fixed it. This was done at no cost to me although the Ridgeline is over 8 years old. I believe this is service above and beyond what could be expected. This is the reason that I purchase all my new vehicles from Don Ayres Honda, have all service performed there, and recommend them to all my family and friends.RalphH

Who can argue with great, quick service at a great price? We've owned 4 Hondas through the years and continue to bring them back to Don Ayres for service. Do the cars sell themselves? Yes. Do the cars run absolutely forever without anything going wrong? Yes. Do they still need routine service to keep them running that well? Yes - that's where Don Ayres service comes in. They "just get it".

I was preparing for vacation and my vehicle had suspension problems. Service determined that I needed struts. Struts were not available that day and I was leaving for vacation in two days. They were able to secure the parts and get my vehicle repaired the next morning. It would have been a rough ride without their help.

Love Don Ayres because of their clear pricing and quality vehicles both new and used. We've bought two used cars from them and get our Acuras serviced at Don Ayres. The sales staff is knowledgable and friendly and you don't have a stereotypical high-pressure sales negotiation like other used car dealerships. Will definitely continue to buy vehicles at Don Ayres Honda and ask for Darren!

Finding this Honda was difficult enough, Darrin make this deal a real GEM! Price was beyond fair, friendliness of service, great customer support and pictures from Darrin made buying this car easy and straight-forward. Paperwork was delivered fast and everything was in perfect order. Jami was great, fast and efficient in the finance area. All questions answered, all calls answered and returned, all arrangements made to have this Honda delivered to me many states away. Car arrived on-time and in great shape, just as described. I am very satisified with my purchase and how I was treated as a customer. I would highly recommend Darrin and the team at Don Ayres. Sorry I don't live closer but with internet and shipping and a solid dealership in Don Ayres, nothing is impossible for my next Honda!

In my 12 plus years of Sales and Service with Honda, I've had nothing but Top Professional Careas a customer! Your Service Manager, Doug Settle, has always been TOP Management,in my book, and has always solved my problems, big or small!! I always ask for Troy Johnsonwhen I call in to schedule an appointment for service, because I know he will handle everydetail that I ask, and go the "extra mile" to make sure I'm a happy customer before leaving!All the Honda people are very friendly and pleasant and make you comfortable in your stay,and with employees like Doug and Troy, I would not hesitate to recommend Honda to allof my friends and family! Keep up the Great Work Don Ayres!

I visited several lots in the area in search for a small suv and found a 2006 Rave4 . The vehicle drove great and the inside was clean, however the outside definitely need some attention. Jeff reassured they could bring the outside upto par. The car went to their detail shop and the door dings repaired. Jeff even gave us a new tire to match the rest. Thanks for working on the small details that sealed the deal. Chris and Sandra Connelly

And Andy Hitzemann helped me....First of all my vehicle is not a Honda and I did not purchase it at Don Ayres. I had the misfortune of having my right rear tire go flat on Lima Rd in front of Don Ayres. It was late and I pulled in to their parking lot and noticed there were a couple people inside the building. I walked in and asked if anyone was left in their service department as I needed some air in my tire. Andy was very professional and courteous and helped me get access to some air for my tire. It would have been easier to just tell me no one was left and told me sorry. To the Don Ayres Organization and Management, you have a great ambassador for your company in Andy. It is employees like Andy that have made your business successful for many years and into the future. To anyone considering doing business with Don Ayres Honda I would highly recommend to do so. I will highly recommend your business to anyone who would inquire. And to Andy, thank you for helping a fellow human being in need. I will definitely pay it forward.

We LOVE this dealership for many reasons but today I just wanted to thank the service department - especially Jeremy and his crew! My tire pressure light had been off and on for the past few weeks and I had stopped by one night at 5:45 to pick up my son (who dropped off his car for service) and Jeremy was not in. I was told to come back to check it the next day. I ended up calling Jeremy 2 days later (today) and was told to stop by. I was greeted by 2 guys to help me and they had the car back in 10 minutes at the most! They were friendly, humorous and very efficient. It is refreshing to deal with people who enjoy their job and are there to serve! Jeremy has helped me over the phone numerous times and is always very courteous and kind plus always seems to have an answer for the problem!

I recently brought my Honda Element in to have my muffler replaced and for an airbag recall. I moved to Indiana this year, so I was unfamiliar with Don Ayres Honda. The service was exceptional - seriously, the best I've ever encountered at a dealership. My service technician, Doug, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to answer my questions, and had my vehicle ready much sooner than I anticipated. I will definitely drive the 50 miles again to have my vehicle serviced at Don Ayres!

I cannot stress enough how wonderful the used car sales staff is at Don Ayers. Jeff Gilmore and Bill Hulwick treated me with the upmost respect and were hassle-free when it came to making my purchase. They answered every question I had and went above and beyond to make my experience actually pleasurable. I also highly recommend the service department at Don Ayers. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and the wait is minimal. I haven't had many decent experiences at car dealerships for one reason or another but Don Ayers bucks the trend. Thanks for treating me professionally and with kindness and respect.

After agreeing on a price for a new Accord, was hit with a high pressure salesman for a service contract.(covers evrything) When I go for a 5000 mi. service they do give me the advertised $12.95 oil change but inform me that tire rotation is $16.95. (seems tire dealers are the only ones who'll do it for free)My attendant also told me to be happy with gas mileage that is less than advertised on the window sticker.Lloyd

Great Dealership that does quality work. The only con I could think of is unnecessary maintenance services to line there pockets. Alot of the maintenance procedures aren't in my Honda Owner Manual and simply no mention of certain maintenance procedures from Honda themselves. I almost think they are made up by the dealer to gain extra revenue. Fuel Injection cleaner service? Power steering Flush? Stuff like that kind of erks me. I did go ahead with the Fuel injection service this one time only for the hell of it. Transmission fluid needs to be changed every 30,000 miles if you want the transmission to last. Buying a certified Honda Civic with 38,000 without it ever having transmission fluid change and Don Ayers telling me the fluid looks discolored and needs changed a month after I purchase the car doesn't sound real certified to me. I went and got the service because it needed changed before I even bought the car. Good practice is to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles or Sooner, every 12 months or 15,000 mile even better.

Don Ayres Honda is atypical of nearly every car dealer I have ever worked with or done business with. To whit: They are customer oriented to the max.The reason I'll keep buying vehicles from them is that they take care of the customer from start to finish.The reason I'll continue to have, and recommend to have service done with them is that without fail, they are trustworthy and deliver what they promise.No excuses, no baloney, no dancing around promise they can't deliver upon. They are excellent, plain and simple.

I honestly didn't think I was going to get anywhere when I visited the Don Ayers Honda dealership in Fort Wayne IN. But when I got there I was pleased with the friendly sales people there, I was just looking the first time so I left, but an e-mail from Jeff to "remaind me that they were still there" I came back and I could tell the difference in experience and friendliness from other dealerships, "and I have been in several of them in the past few months"1st car I buy from Don Ayers and I thank from Jeff Gilmore, Carlo Borg and yes (there is an Italian Pizza in Wabash Carlo) to John Hoffman and everyone else I got to talk to for the attention it was given to me, they make me feel like a person.Thank you very much, Carlos.

I believe this is my 3rd car I've purchased from Don Ayres, but my first one from Bill Fenoglio. The sales, service and finance attention I got from Don Ayres, Bill Fenoglio and John Hofmann couldn't have been better. I drove the car on Friday evening and purchased it on Saturday morning. I never felt pressured and received a solid answer to every question. Although I thought my potential trade was worth more, I felt the price I paid was more than fair.

I have owned a Honda ('04 Accord at present time) since 1984. The main reason for my satisfaction is the Service Department. Dave Steenport is my "go to" guy. He is the warmest and the most capable service technician I have ever encountered: knowledgeable, up-to-date training, professional, and personal. Doug Settle is master Service Manager, without a doubt the most competent person in my 30 years of experience. He expects excellent performance from his team. It is obvious that he is respected for his professional and personal interest in his employees and those whom he serves as customers. My deceased wife was an enthusiastic and satisfied customer and considered Dave Steenport to be the person we would miss the most if we ever relocated. Two of my three daughters are Don Ayres Honda owners -- one lives near Atlanta, and the other in Gurnee, IL. The latter receives all of her service on her Honda ('06) from Dave Steenport through Doug Settle.Years ago I would visit various dealerships, but now when I think of a new car, I think of the Service Department and would only visit Don Ayres.Gratefully,Steve Sullivan

Things went as expected on our first visit to the service department "excellent". Tom in the parts department was very helpful in ordering our add on items for the CRV. He is an excellent parts advisor with a smile all the time. The items were installed in one day and all went well. Chuck is a true asset as a service rep to the dealership. Thanks to all Rick & Lois Baughman2015 Honda CRV Touring

Don Ayers is always aiming to please. I was upset about a tail light issue on my Honda Odyssey. Doug said he would see if he could get Honda to ease the cost. When I picked my Van up Doug was able to cut the cost in half to get a replacement taillight.

We went there in September looking for a reliable used SUV with certain features, unable to find exactly what we were looking for in that visit. Chris Demetriades was our salesperson and continued to keep in contact with us and notified us whenever they got something in that matched our needs. We went back in and found a vehicle we wanted, Chris and the sales manager went out if their way to make sure we got the deal we needed. The hardest working sales staff I have ever experienced since I bought my 1st car over 20 years ago. Chris Demetriades will do whatever it takes to earn your business and get you what you want.

Was on the market for a commuter car and after doing thorough searches online I arrived at a 2010 Honda Civic (Certified) that Don Ayres had listed which was very competitively priced. I live about 75 miles from the dealership so I called first and then went up the following day to take a look and test drive. The car appeared to be in great shape and, after a little negotiating, I was able to settle on a price I was happy with. After I got the car home I noticed part of the front bumper panel had popped out and that some pieces surrounding it were not bound together as they should have been. I contacted Darrin Bickel, who was very responsive, and he advised to bring the car up so they could take a look. I had already planned to take another trip up so they could do some paint touch ups, so this was no problem. I was a little disappointed to find out that they didn't fix it in the service shop, but instead they had the paint guy make an attempt to set the parts back together. I was open to giving them the benefit of the doubt so went on my way, but the piece had popped out again by the time I reached home. However, I persisted, again working with Darrin, and he linked me up with the service manager, Doug Settle. I made arrangements with him to make another trip up to Ft Wayne so he could take a look and determine the best route from there. He took a look and within about 30 minutes he had the problem fixed at no additional cost to me (and a car wash too). All other aspects of the car so far I've been completely satisfied with. I would definitely recommend this dealer (and Darrin Bickel in particular) to friends and family, and I will consider doing business with them again for future car purchases, even though it's somewhat of a hike for me.

Our son was in town and he had car problems. They worked his car in so it could get looked and repaired. They did a great job. We now have 5 hondas and four have been purchased from Don Ayres. The primary reason for this is that I know they have a great service department and they will take care of the cars while working around my schedule. Jeremy has done a great job of taking care of us.

The service I receive from an Auto Dealership after the point of sale is everything to me. Don Ayres Honda exceeds every expectation I have for that.I have been treated as a valued customer when I returned for service and a check up on a slight problem. Everything was resolved to my complete satisfaction both times. It was quick and efficient and friendly.Dillon Steenport handled my problem, he was courteous and friendly. In other visits I have had dealings with the service manager and it was most satisfactory. I have recommended family and friends to Don Ayres and they are also most satisfied with the after sale service. Obviously the sale itself was satisfactory or I would not have purchased from Don Ayres, although they came highly recommended by other friends.

Completed all the work with in time and called me once the work was done and car available for pick up. I'm glad with his service and work. He was friendly and given correct information about the car and service details and price etc...

This was my first experience buying a car from a dealership. We found the car online and wanted to come in for a test drive to see if I'd like it. Matt helped me out every step of the way by answering all of my questions. During the test drive I loved the car overall but the breaks were making a strange noise. Matt assured me that the dealership would fix the brakes if I chose to go ahead and get the car which I did. The service was really quick and the buying process as a whole was much easier than I had expected. Matt went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Jeremy also conducted the finalizing of the purchase process and was helpful as well. I came in much earlier than planned to pick up the car and the staff easily accommodated me even with the last minute change of schedule. Would recommend Don Ayres to anyone, the staff is awesome and I love my car!

This is the second Honda we have purchased from Don Ayres. We will not purchase anywhere else or have or vehicles serviced anywhere else. The oil change is less expensive than doing it myself and discounts on scheduled maintenance make it affordable.

Our 2012 Ridgeline was damaged by a van that hit us the passenger side of the truck. This was a hard hit that damaged both doors and the back quarter panel. Until then our Ridgeline still looked showroom new. Through our insurance we had several choices of where to have it repaired. We are happy we picked Don Ayres body shop. This was not an easy repair, but it looks like new again! Great service produced a great repair!

I went in for an oil change. I was due for a 25k mile service which was supposedly only going to take an hour 15 minutes so we did that too. I spent almost 3 hours at honda. Despite my unexpected wait time, Doug did keep checking back with us in the waiting area to update us on the progress. I definitely don't hold him responsible for the unexpected wait as I don't blame my waitress when my food is terrible. My main critique is that I just wish I would've known how long I would've been there because I would've gotten a ride as to not spend so long sitting in the waiting area. Regardless I know wait time can not always be predicted and of course I will be back when my Honda needs an oil change as I always get great customer service.

I would recommend them to anyone.As far as sales go, I have always worked w/ Chris Demetriades and he has been great. He is always checking to see how I am doing and if I have any issues w/ my vehicle. He will go the extra mile to get me the deal I am looking for and he always does it w/ a positive attitude. Chris has been a pleasure to work with.

This was my first visit so everything was new to me and a bit inexperienced in what to expect.I do not recall whom I spoke with-but the gentleman was polite, friendly, answered my questins, listened to me, suggested I write down gas purchase and mileage to check how many miles per gallon I am actually getting since one of my questions was why I was only getting 16.7 mpg according to my gauges. I had been told i would get much better mileage than that. Was an oil change and my questions answered my reasons for coming in- only 3800 miles on CRV. Waiting room a bit short on comfort would be my only discontented experience. Everything else was fine.

Every time I come in for my oil change it is a quick and friendly. Always answer my questions I my have.

Please do not touch unless you return to that setting. Thank you

I have now purchased another CRV from them.I would recommend this dealership to my friends and family.

I was nervous about purchasing a different vehicle, I had driven my previous one for over 10 years. My sister bought her Honda Odyssey years ago from Don Ayres so she referred me here. I had spent the morning online, shopping, comparing, pricing, to make the decision. I went to the dealership with 3 of my 4 youngest children in tow. I was immediately greeted and introduced to my sales person Lori Nicola. She was great! A perfect match for us on our van shopping adventure. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly patient! All of the sales people, Sales Managers, and Finance, were friendly, professional, and again most importantly patient! I found everything I needed and wanted at Don Ayers, I am glad my sister recommended it, I will recommend it to anyone as well! We had such a great experience and I am thrilled with my purchase!

I have been a customer of Don Ayres for many years. We purchased 3 new vehicles from them and the excellent service is a big reason why. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They have a very streamlined operation. When I get the oil changed, I barely get settled in the lounge and they are calling me to tell me the car is ready to go.

I have purchased several vehicles from dealerships over the years and this is by far the best experience I have ever had. I saw the 2013 Silverado online and the price seemed like a great deal. I called and talked to Clevland and explained to him that I live 150 miles from the dealership and that I did not want to drive all that way if there were flaws not pictured online. He walked around the vehicle and told me about every minor flaw and even took a video and sent it to me. When I got to the dealership and saw the vehicle, the condition was exactly as what Clevland said it was. After a test drive of the vehicle, I met with Ryan to settle up payment and all the paperwork was ready for me to sign as we had discussed the details the day prior to my arrival. I was in and out with a test drive in 45 minutes.

I called in to Don Ayers Honda to request information about a car I saw on their website. Shane Sullivan knew exactly which vehicle and its history. He didn't come across pushy or as a "salesman". When I showed up at Don Ayers, he had the vehicle out and ready for me to drive. He was courteous and professional and I never felt like I was being "sold". I can't tell you how refreshing that was. They gave me a fair trade in, and an amazing price on the vehicle. This was the fastest, easiest and most enjoyable car buying experience I've ever had. I would highly recommend Shane Sullivan to anyone looking for a great car buying experience.

I was recently in a serious car accident in which I had to be cut out if my Honda Accord with the jaws of life. I am lucky to be alive and am so confident that my Honda helped keep me safe that I came right back to my local Honda dealer and purchased another Honda Accord. Jeff Gilmore and all the people Don Ayers were very helpful, kind, and obviously cared more about my safety/recovery than about just "closing the sale." I would absolutely recommend Honda as a safe and reliable car manufacturer, and I would absolutely recommend going to see Jeff Gilmore at Don Ayers before you buy a car anywhere else!

My Husband and I have been loyal customers of Don Ayres Honda since 1973, starting with a Pontiac Ventura. Over the years we have purchased most of our vehicles from them. We currently own 2 Honda Accords, and honestly it is the only dealer we would ever consider.Jeremy Sullivan is an excellent Service Adviser and is always there with a smile to take care of us the second we pull into the garage area for service. Hands down, Don Ayres has the best service. Doug Settle, the service manager is also available within seconds if you have any questions or concerns. Recently, I had a first time ever, minor fender bender and the Don Ayres Body Shop fixed my car to perfection. I can't say enough good about this Service Center.

I did a ton of online research to find a very good condition, low-ish miles 2009 Pontiac G8 GT to trade my great 2010 Camaro SS in for. Found it at Ayres. Jeff and the team worked with me very well on this long-distance (I live 215 miles away) transaction. In addition to the many pics of the vehicle on their site I requested and Jeff created and sent two personalized videos showing me the car up close from all conceivable angles. It was akin to a virtual in-person look. When I was satisfied of the condition of the car the price negotiations for the trade-in/buy were conducted in a spirited but fair manner. I ended up driving up to Ft Wayne from the Cincinnati area on a Saturday. Jeff was away on a trip but Caleb stood in for him admirably; nice guy. Everything went extremely smoothly once there and I was driving my "new" car home within an hour or so. The car I purchased was exactly as advertised and I still feel like I got a fair price and am completely happy with it and my Ayres experience. Seems to be a top notch dealership.

I am new to the Fort Wayne area and I took my 2012 Honda Civic for service for a first-time visit at Don Ayers. When I drove in for my appointment, I was helped immediately. My service representative, Ben Rose, did an excellent job of explaining everything that was required to service my car. In addition, I had an odd "scratch" on my car that I showed to him. He looked at it closely and said he didn't think it was a scratch. I had to wait for the service to be performed and it was done in a timely manner. When I went to pick up my car, to my great surprise and delight, Ben showed me that he had personally worked on and removed the "scratch" that I had showed to him before. That is what I consider going above and beyond what was required of him. To top it off, there was no charge; it was done out of courtesy. What a great attribute in an employee! Hope he gets a raise!It was a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend the service department at Don Ayers. With their excellent service, my Civic should last me a long time.

I was nervous about buying a used car, but felt at ease when I met Cleveland Brock. He was relaxed and easy going. I felt as if he were there to show me the cars I was interested in and not to pressure me into anything beyond what I was comfortable paying. He was an excellent salesman. No pressure at all. This experience exceeded my expectations, and I will recommend Don Ayres and Cleveland Brock to all my friends and family. My only complaint is waiting an hour for the manager, so he could to take my payment and get everything finished. But I know sometimes things happen beyond our control. If I ever need another car, this is likely the first place I will go.

Best dealership we have ever ever worked with - including ones in Chicago suburbs. Ty Odle was the best and so knowledgeable - no pressure techniques used at all. Best car salesperson my wife Doris and I have ever worked with in 41 years of marriage. He was very upfront with us from the start. His Christian attitude in dealing with us was so evident. We would definitely go back to Don Ayres in the future. I will advertise for this dealership from this day forward. Our adult children also bought a Honda Odyssey from Don Ayres last year and worked with Ty Odle.

Darrin was very low pressure and reasonable to work with. Great experience and great vehicle.

I am moving to florida, I bought my car from Don Ayres, and have been taking my car there for 7 years. They are the best, they are fast, helpful, answers all your questions, even concerned about your day if bad or good. I told the guys i was moving they even wished us luck, and have a good safe trip. How many times has a total stranger come up to you and said that. The only thing is i am hoping i find a Dealership in florida half as good as Don Ayres, The service people and mechanics at Don Ayres is second to none. And i would recommend them if i come across anyone that needs there car worked on in Fort Wayne Indiana.

It is the personal relationship with the service team, particularly Charles Suter, that makes the difference.

We went in looking for a fuel efficient SUV and heard that the Honda CR-V was the best around. My wife and I came to Don Ayers because we figured a Honda dealership would have them and of course they did. They have a wide selection of new and used models of the CR-V, we test drove one, and wanted it. Even with our bad credit, they were able to get us financed at a monthly payment that was affordable with our budget. In the 2 hours we were there, we test drove, did the application, credit application, made our down payment, signed our life away, and was on the road with our awesome vehicle. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle and if you want fuel efficiency in an SUV, the CR-V is the way to go with it's 22/28 mpg. Awesome job guys!

Well where begin From Elkhart,In went to go look at a CRV. Found one we liked but wanted to keep or options open to look at other company's etc. we decided on the CRV.Called and talked to sales person whom with we dealt with and said the one we wanted.. Wanted to do some figures and salesperson said what number gave them the number (mine to call ME)which they had my husbands number to begin with husband was at work that's why I gave them my number . We'll salesperson called my husband back but left message on husbands phone when I told them to call me. Then I told this salesperson we have are own financing the person proceeded to get information for there financing. This sales person did not wait long enough to get the last 4 digits of my cc to put deposit on CRV. Then on the next day finance mgr called wanting the last 4 digits which was fine but then continued to ask what percent rate we were getting from our bank . . We are not happy or this If you are telling them we have our financing and need paperwork done up to send to our bank shouldn't they leave it at that instead of keep asking us about there financing. We are purchasing this CRV on 8/18/2014 but we are not happy over this situation.

This is the second issue I have had with Don Ayres Service. This time I only had the oil changed and since then I have had oil on your garage floor. We just thought maybe it was just leftovers from the oil change. We have now had to clean the floor 3 times. We did check the oil and it states it is full. Don't know where it is coming from but it has made my garage floor a mess.

This was probably the most pleasant experience I've ever had in shopping for a car. Everyone was very friendly and acted like they were interested in you as a person. The dealership was very busy when I was there, however, everyone made sure that someone was working with you or asked if you needed anything. Chad Oberlin was busy with a couple of other customers as well as me, but I never felt neglected or put upon. Chad was very personable and seemed very interested in helping me get into the car I wanted. I got a good deal on the car and they were willing to work with me. If I know of anyone who is looking for a car, I will definitely recommend Don Ayres Honda. Thanks for making it a good experience.

Everyone at Don Ayres was great to work with. We made several trips to see Shane and talk about all of our options, both new and used. He was great and explained everything to us.

We came in looking for a new car but found a certified used car with more options and at a lower price. The sales staff were all friendly, knowledgable, and not too pushy. Some dealerships were very much in-your-face, but the Don Ayres group gave us plenty of room to browse at our leisure when asked. I would definitely recommend visiting them if you are in the market for a new or used car.

Knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with staff makes one feel comfortable at the dealership. Though I was primarily at the dealership for service, I talked to sales people and administrative staff also. Everybody was helpful and quick with a smile and a hello. Great place to do business.

After deciding to move from an Accord to a CV-R, I went online to check inventory and sent an email with my choice. I was promptly answered by email and phone call the next morning by Darrin Bickel. After meeting with him and Chris Demetriades I found the perfect vehicle and was able to purchase it with Darrin's help. He was so easy to talk with and found the time to work with me though he was quite busy this particular day. My experience so far is nothing less than superb with Don Ayres Honda. Every department I had contact with was very friendly and courteous. I look forward to a long relationship with them!

I don.t typically enjoy the car buying process. Or waiting hours for the deal to be completed. Don Ayers is the single most professional, experienced, and organized group of sales professionals I have encountered. They made the process painless. Special kudos to Chris D, my salesman and the GM for all their assistance. And my Honda CR-V is FABULOUS!!!

From my first inquiry, every experience with Don Ayres Honda has been what, in my experience, a car buying experience should be: prompt follow up, nothing pushy, fair advertised pricing, no hidden fees, etc. Because I had a special credit circumstance, Shawn had the good sense to have me talk with the finance manager, Jami, to explain my situation and see what could be done. Jami was able to get me financed, and kept me informed all along the way. This is the first time I purchased a used vehicle, and I felt very comfortable doing so. The photos and Carfax make things a lot easier these days, given that I was 90 miles away and didn't have the time to be traveling all over to view vehicles. Shawn promptly answered my questions, found out answers I needed, and made everything easy. Having been shopping for a couple of months, I have had some less than favorable experiences with car dealers. This experience however, was awesome

Absolutely great service experience; Doug was clear about everything that needed to be done and what the prices would be without pressuring me into more than I could afford. When parts weren't in-stock, he recommended what could be done on my next service appointment. Even offered several options that were available to me. My car was serviced much faster than I ever expected; would definitely ask for Doug next time I bring my car in for servicing.

I was in for the first oil change on my new CRV last week, I was very impressed with the Honda service department. From the ease of making the appointment to the friendly greeting I received when I drove into the service area. It was a very a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Jeremy addressed my concerns and explained everything to me when they were finished. I appreciated the fact that I was able to pay for my service when I picked up the car without having to go to talk to someone else. Jeremy was able to handle everything for me.

I recently brought in our 2012 Honda Civic to their service dept because some underbody parts were damaged when my wife drove off the road. We did not have an appt and it was early Friday afternoon. Chuck Sutter our service advsor said that still would be able to look at it and let us know. About two hours later we got a call that said it was fixed. This is the kind of service that we always get from Don Ayres. All of their service advsors are terriffic, but we really like dealing with Chuck Sutter in particular He always goes the extra mile to save us some money and to make sure everything is done correctly. His memory is terrific. We bought some tires a half a year ago through the service dept and just recently Chuck asked us how do we like the tires.. Doug Settle, the service manager is fantastic too. I will always get my cars serviced at Don Ayres!

We were having a hard time finding the right vehicle at the right price without having to drive at least 90 miles to find it. When I called in to see if they could help me find what I was looking for, Darrin was ready and willing to do whatever it took to find what I wanted. Thankfully they just received on trade the exact vehicle my wife and I wanted!

I thought my wiper arm had a bend in it and it might need replaced. I spoke with Jay Hyland and he ordered the part. After the part came in, Jay called me and said that the new part had the same bend in it so it was not necessary to replace it. Excellent customer service and so glad Jay called me to let me know!

First off, I cant thank Don Aryes enough for the hospitality that we experienced! it made us feel like we had picked the perfect place. Never once did they call or text us and hound us to buy from them(like we had happen with other car lots in the Fort Wayne area). True class,the guys there worked hard to get us a good deal. Do your self a favor and at least check it out. I Promise you will not be disappointed. Sincerely one happy Honda owner!

This time was a return visit having had a very bad experience last trip. This time however I was met promptly with a smile having made an appointment and arrived on time. I was directed to Doug right away and he was courteous and friendly he discussed the service needed and the cost involved and after making my decision I was directed to the waiting room I was told it would be less than an hour for an oil change, tire rotation and free car wash. In the waiting room there were chairs, tv, today's newspaper and drinks available. The time I waited was comfortable and as promised the car was completed in less than an hour. I do have to say that the car wash does not get the car clean but its free and I appreciated the effort. As for the experience of trying to make my apt I had tried to call during my work day but without success and ended up having to have my son schedule the apt. There should be a way to schedule apts on line with email confirmation of the apt. The price is great Thank you

I recently bought a Honda Accord from Don Ayres, and Darrin Bickel was a big help in the process. He was able to answer all of the questions that I had about the cars I was looking at. The car that I bought had a small dent in the side of it, and I asked Darrin if he could get it fixed. He said that it would be no problem. The paper process took awhile to fill out once I decided to get the car, but overall it was a good experience.

I came to Don Ayres Honda to possibly purchase a CR-V for my wife. At first, everyone was very helpful. The sales agent did a great job explaining all the features of the vehicle. We returned on a few separate occasions to test drive, as we were also looking at the RAV4 and were in the process of comparing the two. Through Internet research, I located a dealership 3 hours away in Illinois that priced out the CR-V for more than $3000 below MSRP and they would include a handful of accessories that my wife wanted such as all season-floor mats, mud guards, door edge guards, etc. Armed with this information, we went to Don Ayers to see if they would match the deal.The offer that Don Ayers produced for the car was reasonable, but still thousands off from the offer of the other dealership. We filled them in on the price we had been quoted, but they saw no possible way to match it. The salesman told us they match any deal guaranteed, and if they can't match they pay $100. However, he said this had only been paid out once in the dealership's history. I invited him to speak with his manager about matching the price, gave him my cell phone number, and walked out of the dealership (because that's what you're supposed to do, right?).Our salesperson called us a few days later to let us know there was no way they could match the price. The Don Ayers salesperson was sure the price we were quoted was in error. I re-read the price to them and stated what accessories and options were included. I clarified that the price included the accessories and did not include tax or title. They concluded that there was no way they could beat it because it was "unreasonable." I asked about the $100, and they said if we actually purchase the car in Illinois, bring the invoice in and we could get the $100.We did end up purchasing in Illinois, and a few days later came to Don Ayers to claim the $100. The sales manager refused to give out the $100. He falsely claimed that he would have been able to match the price. He claimed that we had misrepresented the actual bottom line of the quote, and that was the reason he refused to match. This was demonstratively false, as we had the quote from Illinois in writing and had emailed a copy of it to the salesperson at the beginning of all this. He also claimed that the accessory package on our vehicle is not Honda certified and is cheap compared to what he would have installed, which is also false.I did not want to drive three hours (one direction) to purchase a car, but I did in order to save a few thousand dollars. I did so because Don Ayers forced my hand and would not work with me. They did not even provide a counter-offer, not once. If they had come even close, I would have considered buying with them to avoid the long trek. The $100 guarantee was offered up by the salesperson. I didn't even know about it until he mentioned it. Of course, when I tried to collect, the sales manager had the nerve to tell me I could have bought the car here in town for that price, which is a complete lie.Although this is the only Honda dealer in the area, with the availability of the Internet I encourage anyone interested in a Honda to e-mail around and see what other dealerships will do for you, as this experience with Don Ayers leads me to believe they are either completely dishonest or simply incompetent.

All employee's in the service center projected that they were there solely to provide great customer service and that is such a rarity these days!!! A very positive experience.

Hate buying cars
May 20, 2014
We have been talking to a salesman about the car for several days. I packed or three very small children and my husband took a half-day of work to drive about 90 miles to go buy this car. We got halfway there and the salesman called to tell us that someone else was test driving the vehicle. Keep in mind he had the day off but still came in to meet us at the dealership. Needless to say we ended up turning around. We were very upset that this happened. Not only did we carve time out of our busy lives, but so did that salesman. My guess is that the culture of the dealership is not such that he was able to take the commission for someone else stealing his sale. Regardless the whole thing was just frustrating. We're not likely to try and go back up there if something else becomes available. Too bad because it seemed like they were willing to work with us.

Still experiencing loose driver side front ground effect that was supposed to be fixed last time the car was in for service. Now I'm told that it's missing a clip and honda will have to order a kit costing $130+ to fix. Every time the car is in for service the service team pulls the piece away sticks a piece of adhesive in there and it looks worse than when I brought it in. I know this seems like a little thing but if you are not going to fix it just leave it alone and I will take my car elsewhere for service from now on.

My husband and I stopped by the used lot while we were out running errands one Saturday. The salesman who greeted us asked if we were dealing with anyone and since we have worked with Darrin in the past with great results and service we told him Darrin. He called us the first of the week asking what we were interested in. We explained we were looking for a small SUV type vehicle for our daughter to take to college with her the next school year. Within the week the perfect Honda CRV was traded in and it exceeded our expectations. We now have the 3rd Honda added to our fleet! Thank you Darrin for the quick response and prompt notification when the perfect vehicle became available for us to consider. Thank you for staying late on a Friday night so we could work the test drive into our schedule. Our daughter is very excited about the purchase and we feel confident she will be safe in her new CRV.Thank you for a great experience.Steve, Sara and Maggie

I will most definitely be back for my next purchase and also send family and friends to see you.

My experience at Don Ayers was excellent. I was on my way to Indianapolis from Toledo, Ohio when I began to experience a shuttering (shaking) in my van. I pulled over and called AAAA for assistance as I was not familiar with the area.. They directed me to Fort Wayne Don Ayers Honda to take a look at the van. I called the service department and let them know what happening to the van and that I really needed someone to take a look at it. I had to be in Indy that evening for an early morning appointment so Ben Rose arranged for Enterprise to help me out with a car to get to Indy while they examined the van. Within 45 minutes, I was on the road again and Ben committed to working on the van and calling me with an update that evening. I arrived in time to Indy and did receive a call from Ben with an update. Following my appointment the next morning, I was able to pick the van up on my way home and Ben made arrangements for Enterprise to drop me off at the dealer following the delivery of the rental.Ben was very professional but so personal and truly cared about my situation. I was so impressed with the service and "small town" personal touch. This experience was really an encouragement to me as we always hear the negative sides of things and not enough about the ones who are positively impacting communities by their passion and and compassion to service others. Thanks so much.

This was our third car lease through Don Ayres Honda and the reason is simple: Ben is the BEST automobile sales associate in Fort Wayne. He is professional yet comfortable, knowledgeable without being a "know-it-all", friendly and genuinely interested in our wants and needs in a vehicle. You get the feeling that Ben is on YOUR side and working to make sure that this is the best car buying experience you'll ever have. When my niece needed a reliable used car I sent her to Ben without hesitation knowing her experience would be the best! When a new person was hired at work from out of town and asked about a good dealership I immediately referred him to Ben. My wife and I have been to numerous new car dealerships since moving to Fort Wayne and have usually left feeling unimpressed. Ben is by FAR the best automobile sales professional in Fort Wayne. Everyone I have come in contact with at the dealership has been professional and courteous. In fact this seems to be a theme at Ayres Honda: Be the best!

I am a rural letter carrier who's vehicle's transmission died and I need a replacement asap. I called Don Ayres Honda and Darrin Bickel was the one with whom I was connected. Not only did he find a vehicle, a CRV, but went over and above board by making calls to other businesses in the area who could do gas and brake pedal adjustments. My experince with him and the staff at Don Ayres will have me returning the next time. I highly recommend them and do your best to see if you can't work with Darrin. You will be glad you did.

From the moment Justin Price contacted me from an online inquiry, I knew there was a difference. He was sincere and excited to help me find out if the used Chrysler Pacifica was the one for my family. Since it had come from a weekend trade, he test drove the car himself, sent a video he made, then out to their service department to be inspected. All from an email & a phone call!! We decided to head to Fort Wayne from Toledo, OH. Everyone at the dealership was smiling (on a rainy day no less!) the management and closing staff were helpful throughout the process, absolutely no hassles or "hard-selling" tactics. Don Ayres Honda has it right. The only drawback is that we live almost 2 hours!! The dealership is a class act and I would recommend them to anyone, whether they are in the market for a Honda, or a used vehicle like us!

My experience with Don Ayres has been great. I would definitely recommend the dealer to my friends. Anwar was the main reason, I purchased the car from the showroom. He is very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I had so many questions, and he answered all my questions with great patience. In fact before I went to the showroom, he sent me a detailed video of the car, which I was looking for, so that I will have a clear picture what to expect once I reach the showroom. Working with Anwar, made my purchase decision easier. Thank you Don Ayres and Anwar!!

It was my venture to find a good dependable car. I had read in Consumer Reports of Honda's and another make that were highly rated for dependability. I had in the past drove a honda fit and really loved the ride. I searched online and was contacted by Darrin. He was unlike alot of salesmen I had dealt with in the past. He was very respectful of what I wanted and helped me find it in the price range I needed. He went completely out of his way after I bought the car to get a few repairs they promised me by picking my car up from where I worked and leaving his personal car here for me to drive after work to pick my car up. He was exceptional to work with and I would recommend him to all. As a matter of fact my brother will soon be looking for a vehicle and I gave him Darrins card. Great work Darrin! Thank you! I really love my new ride! :)

My experience at Don Ayers was great. Would recommend anyone to go there. Anwar is excellent and very helpful.

I visited the dealership because I needed a mid-size car with good gas mileage. I narrowed my search to 3 vehicles. I chose the Honda because it was a very comfortable car to drive and because I felt comfortable dealing with Darrin Bickel. He was not pushy at all and he gave me all the answers I needed. I always felt that Darrin was being totally honest in all of my dealings with him. I do not like buying cars, but I would highly recommend Darrin and Don Ayers Honda to my friends and family. Thanks Darrin.

I was referred by a co-worker who had bought/leased 7 cars from Ty Odle and others. I was pleased with my experience from beginning to end. I was dealt with in a very timely manner, which was great considering I had to use the new car for work later that day. Honda Certified cars have a well-deserved reputation for being reliable, but I was still impressed by the amount of conditioning required to certify a Honda, as well as the warranty coverage on the factory warranty. I use my vehicle for work, and while I ended up paying a bit more than I originally anticipated when I browsed cars, I got a lot more value, mpg, and peace of mind than I would have gotten by getting a non certified, lower cost vehicle, particularly compared to other brands. They even offer $12.95 oil changes for as long as you own your car. It was more than I expected to get when buying a used car, perhaps more than buying some new cars for that matter. I was elated to discover that even the struts were covered, as well as scratch and ding repair for 5 years. I am discarding my 2005 Dodge Neon SXT which I bought new in early 2006, and bought a 2011 Honda Civic LX-S with 39k on it. So far, I can't think of a single reason to do business with anyone else when I buy my next car. Honda and Don Ayres both seem to want every Honda on the road to keep doing what it's designed to do, and stay looking good while it does so. I expect this car to hold up much better under intense conditions than the Neon could ever hope to. And when I trade it in I will actually get some value from it instead of calling the scrapyard to come get my dead Neon that I had already poured tons of repair money into.

Darrin was extremely easy to work with during our visit. He was not pushy or high pressured and was very easy going to deal with. The visit to purchase the Pontiac G6 for our daughter was quick and "painless". I would recommend dealing with Darrin, as he is just a good down to earth guy that everyone can relate to. Great work Darrin.

My husband, and two young kids drove 6+ hours round-trip from Detroit Michigan to Ft Wayne IN to purchase our Honda certified '10 Accord!!! I had been searching online for weeks for just the right vehicle at just the right price, and found it at Don Ayres Honda! But it wasn't just the price that put Don Ayres at the top of our list... It was Matt Thorpe who made it easy to decide that this is worth the drive! He sent us videos of a friendly hello and welcome, as well as video walk-arounds and the interior of the car as well. He was willing to answer or research any question we had, which is so important when looking for a car from afar. We made the trip and are actually considering doing it again for our next vehicle purchase. Matt and everyone at Don Ayers was warm, welcoming and considerate of our needs, desires and capability in purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. Our family will be moving to Cincinnati OH this summer, and I've already map quested the distance from Cincy to Ft Wayne... 3.5 hours - definitely worth the drive!!

This was my second time dealing with Rick Kruger to purchase a car. He was as friendly and straight forward this time around as he was the first time. He does not come off pushy and addresses concerns. This will be my first stop in the future when I need another vehicle.

My family has now bought three cars through Don Ayres. Our need was mostly a trade-in for a newer minivan with fewer miles. We loved our last Odyssey which we also bought through the dealership. We continually choose to work with Anwar in used car sales. He does an excellent job of hearing our wants and needs, and helps us to find the right car for the job and within our budget. Five years ago, Anwar helped us find the right used car for my father, who was aging and had a limited budget. It's this kind of personal service that keeps us going back to them. I have loved each of my four Hondas: Accord, Civic & two Odysseys. I would choose Honda any day over any other brand. I would also choose our salesman any day and any time we have an emerging need. Thanks for your dedication to the greater Fort Wayne community and to your product.

Anwar is an excellent salesperson to work with. It was a very pleasant experience purchasing this vehicle. We continue to recommend this dealership to friends and family. The service department is terrific and is a main reason why we continue to purchase our vehicles here as well.

I car shopped with my family and primarily my father. Everyone we came into contact with at Don Ayres was extremely friendly and seemed very genuine. In particular, we worked with Anwar and Bill. Both seemed very interested in my needs and opinions throughout the buying experience and were very patient and accommodating. When test driving the vehicle options, Anwar was very knowledgable about the vehicles and assisted in pointing out features I may not have noticed on my own. He was attentive and informative without ever being "pushy." When moving into the buying portion of the experience, all of the other individuals we interacted with were also friendly and accommodating. I was very pleased with my experience.

Ed was great to work with! Very knowledgeable on all the vehicles there. He went out of his way to ensure my wife and I were familiar with our new vehicles before we drove away. No pressure sales approach, knowledge and experience were all great attributes Ed possessed which created a great buying experience! His customer service knocked it outta the park.... You can put it on the board, YES!

Between my wife and I, we have purchased 6 new Hondas from Don Ayres. I recently was in to see about trading my 2012 Civic on a 2014 Accord. I had visited O'Daniel Mazda first to check out the new Mazda 6, then went Don Ayres. I informed the salesman that I had been to the Mazda dealer first. He asked me what the price on the Mazda 6 was and I told him $23,790 which was more than the Accord at 23,545. I also told him that they quoted me a trade value on my Civic of $14,600 which was $200 less than my payoff. I had Gabe run some numbers so I had a comparison to think about and talk with my wife about. After being a very loyal customer, he proceeded to quote me a trade value of $11,000. But he said since it was lower than O'Daniel, he would discount the Accord $1,400. This was a slap in the face. He knows that I am a returning customer and this is the BS offer that I get. Anyway, I went back and bought the Mazda 6 for $25844.58 with tax my negative equity and doc prep. For the lower sticker price on the Accord, I would have ended up paying approximately $27,761, a difference of $1,917. Now tell me that they value their customers. If I decide to buy a Honda again, I will make the drive to Indianapolis. They have forever lost my wife and I as a customer.

I purchased my Honda Accord from Anwar and was very pleased with the customer service I received from the entire team at Don Ayres Honda! Anwar showed me all the cars that were within the price range I provided and was very knowledgable about the details of all the cars he showed me. I truly enjoyed working with Anwar and will recommend him to everyone that I know is in the market for a used certified car. Anwar was super friendly and very personable! The finance person (I cannot remember her name) was excellent too, super friendly and knowledgable. She was very detailed about the warranty that came with my car and explained everything thoroughly. I had visited other dealerships before stopping in at Don Ayres Honda and by far this dealership has the most outstanding customer service. Thank you again to Anwar and everyone at Don Ayres Honda for a great car buying experience!

I was looking for a "bad weather car" anticipating a bad winter. This dealership almost always comes up at the top of my cars.com search. So, I went straight to their website. They have a very good inventory of quality cars I actually had a hard time choosing which one. They even slash the price if it sits for too long. I sent them an email and response was quick. When I finally decided on one, Darrin accomodated me that afternoon. I didn't even expect to drive home that car that same afternoon. I didn't regret getting the 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport Premium. It gets me through this winter and it is definitely one of the worst winters on record!

I wasnt sure it would be easy to get the car I found because the dealership was over 300 miles from me. My email inquiry was answered very quickly by Sales Representative Darrin Bickel. He listened to all my concerns about the logistics and what I wanted pricewise. I got an "off the charts great price" on the 2011 Accord I bought. The only distress I had at this point was how I was going to get to the car. Low and behold he offered two different options about getting the car delivered to me. The car was BETTER than described! I have bought dozens of cars in my life but this is by far and away the best experience I have ever had. Darrin Bickel and Don Ayers Honda will always be my first choice from now on...even from 300 miles away!!!

We originally chose to visit Don Ayres because we were looking for a Honda Odyssey with a particular trim level, which was difficult to find. It was definitely worth the drive (a bit over an hour). Darrin was very relaxed and calm, giving us as much time as we needed to discuss the purchase. Prices were very fair. We ended up needing to bring our 3 children with us, and the whole staff was very kind to them, as well.

I didn't feel any pressure at all during the buying process. I am a mechanic and I already knew what I was looking for so the salesman (chad oberlin) just let me do my thing. I decided I wanted to get the vehicle (2011 jeep liberty) and the buying process from beginning to end was no pressure. When they presented me with the option of extended warranty and service and whatnot I declined and she (Jamie) didn't try to push it on me. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

My husband and I went to Don Ayres to check out some used CR-V's on a Saturday afternoon. It was cold, snowy and the roads were icy but that did not hold us back from test driving a two year old model with all the bells and whistles. We spent the rest of the weekend researching different vehicles, dealerships, and prices......then went back to Don Ayres first thing Monday morning just as Darrin was arriving to work. He greeted us by our first names with a smile on his face and said "Perfect Timing!" We test drove the 2012 CR-V once again and decided it was "the one". Darrin walked us through the purchasing process and an hour and half later we were driving home our new vehicle. I LOVE it!!Thank you Darrin for making it a smooth process and for going out of your way to make sure everything we asked for was done! I have already recommended you to family and friends. Thanks again, Kay Hetrick

I am giving 5stars across the board because Darrin was very helpful very nice no pressure to buy. I drove an hour and a half away and would definitely do it again. Darrin and the finance department made us feel relaxed and comfortable. The whole experience of going to don ayres Honda was worth the drive than going to a local Honda dealer that would have pressured us to buy and plus don ayres price was a little cheaper than other places. The way Darrin and others made us feel I would encourage anyone looking for a car to at least check them out, and see for yourself.

Two years ago I purchased a new 2012 Civic for my wife and had a wonderful experience working with salesman Bill Fenoglio. January of 2014, I saw a Honda Accord that interested me, so I found Bill Fenoglio again to start discussing a possible purchase. Two years had passed since the purchase of the Civic, and Bill responded to me as though we see each other every week. I ended up buying the new Accord and am so very please again to have worked with Bill. He would not let me drive off the lot until I was 100% satisfied with my new car. D. Hockemeyer

We found the car on the internet . Emailed the dealership and received a response from Darrin almost immediately. He and Carlo worked with us on our trade in and financing the car. Have spoken with Darrin regarding our purchase. Great follow up and also received free carwashes as a thank you from the dealership. Will let friends and family know what a good experience it was.

I am very pleased with our car-buying experience at Don Ayres Honda! Darrin Bickel was very helpful to us, and made time for us at various points during an extended transaction with a customer with whom he was involved when we arrived. Having spoken to him on the phone that morning, we were still surprised he had remembered our names, etc. It was also a pleasure to work with and Bill Hulwick, the Sales Manager, and others on the staff, many of whom know my son (also in the business) and some of whom, like Bill, had a personal relationship with our family some years ago. To the credit of the entire staff, Darrin initially expressed concern about our buying a car from Don Ayres rather than from my son - who had not been able to find us what we wanted. This is the first time I have owned a Honda Accord and I absolutely love it. The car has not yet needed service, but from close friends I understand that the service department is also top notch! We are both very pleased with our Honda Accord and the attention we received fro the Don Ayres staff!Sue Larrabee

The best part about our experience here was the customer service. Within the first five minutes of talking to Darrin, I knew we had an excellent salesman. It was refreshing to get to work with a professional that cared about the customer. He was extremely willing to take the time to talk to us about everything and I never felt rushed or pressured. I knew I would buy from him immediately. He quickly built rapport with us and made us at ease. I felt as though our business and time was truly valued while working with him. I cannot express how pleased I was with his service. It takes a certain person to succeed in sales and customer service, and he has every attribute. His service alone has convinced me to be a repeat customer in the future. Don Ayers has succeeded in every category- customer service, friendliness, price, overall experience, and quality of work.

I am so happy that I bought a car at Don Ayres Honda, and they made the car buying experience a great one!! Darrin Bickel was very nice to work with and Bill Hulwick, the Sales Manager, was amazing in helping me to get the Honda Accord I was really wanting! This is truly a great dealership!! They are the type of dealership who will go the extra mile, and not only make your car buying experience a great one but to make you feel confident in your buying decision. They explained every aspect of the warranty, the finance, and all of my paper work was mailed to me in a very timely manner!! They are true professionals, and I would recommend Don Ayres to anyone wanting to purchase a great car, I will never go anywhere else! This is the first time I have owned a Honda Accord and I absolutely love it. It is extremely comfortable, fuel efficient, and drives like no other car I have ever owned. I'm sold on the Honda Accord, and all of my future business will now be with Don Ayres Honda. Nancy Herron

After searching for weeks for a new car, I was pleasantly surprised when I came to Don Ayers Honda. I met with Ty who showed me a couple of cars I was interested in. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly, and most of all not pushy. Almost every other dealership I went to wanted me to make a decision the moment I came on. Ty on the other hand was fine with me taking some time to consider my options. He also has a great to be very personable with you while still maintaining a sense of professionalism. He even stayed a little later than usual because I couldn't get off work earlier. When I finally decided to buy the car, he and Jeremy were great in getting me in and out as quick as possible. I would recommend Don Ayers Honda to anyone looking for a new or used car.

Darrin Bickel made the purchase go very quick. My wife purchased a 2012 used Honda from Darrin last year. When I was looking for a new car, I went back to Don Ayres and looked up Darrin. Even though he specializes in used cars, I wanted to purchase my new car from him because I new that I would be treated well. When the new Honda needed to go in for rustproofing, Darrin came to my house and gave me his car, taking the new Honda with him. He returned the rust proofed car that evening. This is our second Honda purchased from Darrin. Probably don't be the last.

I worked with Darrin Bickel on the purchase of my Toyota Prius. After I purchased my first one in Sept, 13, I totaled it 3 months later. I immediately called Darrin who went on the search for me for another one. He went out of his way in making videos of the car so I could see it (I live 45 mins. away), sending them to me, and getting me the best deal. He frequently calls and checks in with me to make sure everything is ok with my car. I would definitely recommend Darrin to anyone in search of a new or used car in the Fort Wayne area.

Our family has been with Don Ayres and Anwar (salesman) for the last 5 years. We first purchased a used vehicle around 2009 along with my son who also purchased his auto at the same time. We have had the pleasure to work with Anwar who has been one of the most considerate and loyal salesman that you could ask for. I then referred my sister to Anwar, who also purchased a car from him! All of our cars have been dependable and like new when purchased used since Don Ayres service dept. goes over everything before placing them on the lot to be sold. I feel like they care about their customers well being and the cars that they sell are up to their specifications! This being said we were again drawn back to Don Ayres and Anwar when we decided to purchase another vehicle!

My husband and I were casually looking to possibly get a 'new' car; we decided that we had to find the right deal. And we sure did! The price for the SUV we purchased was great and although the offer for our trade-in wasn't exactly what we were hoping, at first, the staff was able to work with us and we arrived at an agreeable number for both parties involved. Darrin B. was very friendly and understanding through the whole process. It was a long day but we are so happy we made the trip up to Fort Wayne to check out the vehicle. Even though we are an hour and a half away, we will definitely keep Don Ayres Honda in mind for our next purchase. Thanks to everyone who help make our experience enjoyable!

This was the best experience I have ever had purchasing a vehicle. We had totaled our Honda Fit, and were renting a car in Indianapolis (which was due back the day that I contacted Don Ayres). I was hoping they could transfer the car in the next few days to Indy, but they did us one better - they had the Honda Element we purchased delivered to my front door. That very same day. Anwar at Don Ayres Honda was a pleasure to work with. Since I work at a hospital, I cannot take calls during the day. Anwar allowed me to go through the entire car buying and financing process using email and text messages, which was super convenient for me. I cannot be happier with our purchase, or the process. Best customer service ever!

I was scheduled for an oil change. I was met at the door of my car as soon as I drove in. The gentleman took down the information needed and let me know that Jeremy would be with me in a moment. Jeremy introduced himself and took down information he needed, offered to send it through the car wash, and let me know he would call me when they were done. He called me when he said he would. The car was ready and I went on my way. Thank you for a friendly staff.

We shopped online for a car for our daughter. When I called we were connected to Sales, Ed Feipel who was very helpful in locating the car we saw on the internet. The car did sell before we were able to get to the dealership, but Ed was quick to let us know and had found a similar car for us to look at. The next day we were at the dealership where Ed greated us at the door and was very helpful with showing us the car and doing a test drive. Ed was very kind and went throught the whole car with our daughter to make sure she understood how everything worked and had answered all of her questions. Jeremy in finance was very helpful and explained everything to our daughter so she understood what was going on. Jeremy answered all of our questions and we are very pleased with working with both Ed and Jeremy.

As with all the service visits that we have had to perform normal routine maintenance issues, such as oil changes, or regular scheduled maintenance, we have always been treated with a smile and excellent customer relations, by both Troy and Jay. They are a very positive influence in your service department, and should be recognized for that ! They rating of good is simply because I know that the work needs to be done and is definitely saving money in the long run due to possible issues that could arise, but it is an expense !

Jeremy, was extremely courteous and very detailed in explaining what exactly they did to our Honda. He reassured me they did everything possible to make sure all is running well. This is our first Honda and do not know quite what to expect with different stuff. He did not treat us like we were crazy. He took his time in putting in the computer exactly what needed to be checked and how we explained any noises etc. This is the best experience from any dealership in town to deal with. They are very knowledgeable and very polite to the customers.When we go back for routine stuff, Jeremy Sullivan would be the one I would want for my customer service tech.Tamara Folkner

I have always been true to American products and have always purchased the "big 3" domestics. My son recently purchased a Honda and I have heard a lot of the quality that goes into a Honda so I thought that I would give them a chance. This is my first Honda automobile so I wanted to bring it to the Honda professionals to be serviced. I was very impressed with your service department in regards to the incoming processing of my needs, the comfortable waiting room, and the courtesy that I received from everyone. I hope the ownership and longevity of my first Honda automobile willing be equally satisfying throughout the years.

I bought this used Kia from Don Ayres Honda. All and all, it is a nice vehicle for a reasonable price. For those of you who buy a used vehicle from Don Ayres, please keep in mind that they can't solve all problems. Yesterday my Kia's engine began shaking, and the engine light came on. Upon putting it in drive I couldn't accelerate at all. Pushing the pedal to the floor had no effect. Considering I bought it at Don Ayres and I've been happy with their service up to now, I took it in for repair. They found error codes indicating it needed a software update for the throttle position sensor. Don Ayres couldn't help me. They recommended I take it to the Kia dealer. Next week Kia will do my update, but the moral of the story is to skip the middle man and take the vehicle back to the original seller. especially in abnormal situations such as this one.

We were in need of a car that would provide low mileage, reasonable price for our budget, and get good gas mpg. Don Ayres Honda was recommended by our son who had purchased a vehicle from them and was very satisfied with the Ayres people he dealt with. From the first encounter to the last everyone at Don Ayres Honda went out of their way to be helpful, were courteous, and never came close to mirroring any of the negative experiences we had encountered in the past at other dealerships. Andy Hitzemann was the sales person who helped us. He went way beyond the call of duty to help us at every step of the process. If you are in the market for a quality product and want to deal with quality people, go to Don Ayres Honda and ask for Andy.

Bought a 2009 Mustang GT from Salesperson Jeff Ward. Jeff was very friendly, always professional, and a really good guy. I got an awesome vehicle at a fair price. Jeff even called today to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Never had THAT happen with any other dealer. The only thing that kind of threw me was that he was required to ride along on the test drive. That made me a bit nervous. (I even missed a shift.lol) Being 49 and a fairly clean cut person I have always been handed the keys and told "enjoy, see ya when you get back." I do understand why they do this in a larger town like Ft Wayne. But it was a first for me. I would definitely buy another vehicle from Jeff. He is a standup guy. And Don Ayres Honda was a pleasure to deal with.

I searched quite a few dealerships in the area and ended up coming back to the inventory Don Ayers had on hand. Quite a few options for used vehicles in very nice condition. I was able to purchase a very nice used vehicle completely serviced by their top notch service department as noted in the Carfax report. Overall, a wonderful vehicle at a reasonable price!

Jeff was great to work with as well as Jamie in financing. Jeff and I brought the van to the southwest side of Fort Wayne to allow my wife to test drive and he stayed past closing time to finish the deal. I have called him a few times since the purchase and he has been very friendly and easy to work with.

The total experience at Don Ayres Honda was one of understanding, caring, knowledge, kindness and lots of smiles in addition to a wide variety of vehicles available for purchase. The initial process of hearing what I wanted, touring the lot to see & experience many vehicles, the test drive, caring about financial concerns all added to the sincerity that Ed Feipel gave throughout the buying process. The whole process from my initial phone call through the after sale time rates very highly. Don Ayres Honda has a fantastic team waiting to accomplish all they can to give the customer the best. Thank you all for making this such an enjoyable event! I would and will encourage anyone seeking a vehicle to go to Don Ayres Honda.

When car shopping I checked out a few local dealers. Of all the places Don Ayres Honda had the most options, best costumer service and great financing/warranty options. The Don Ayres Honda staff was professional, willing to listen and beyond polite. We were all there for a purpose and I feel like we all felt satisfied at the end of the purchase. I will proudly refer others looking for a vehicle to Don Ayres.

My wife and I purchased a 2012 Dodge Journey on 10/29/2013, Seth was great to work with. The price was better than other dealers. I flew in from Iowa and Seth picked me up from the airport in the Journey, After driving it back and inspecting it I was on my way home after completing the paperwork. Great staff and easy to deal with.

I am a first time car buyer and my experience at Don Ayres was the best by far. They weren't pushy and seemed genuinely concerned with getting me the best deal within my budget. Had the vehicle inspected by a mechanic and no issues were found. Would definitely recommend to others.

Don Ayres Honda was recommended to us by a friend after he purchased a new Honda CRV in May. The sales consultant he dealt with and recommended was Shawn Baney. We were in the market for a used car and my husband had his sights on a CRV. After checking out the website for available vehicles in our price range, low mileage, and from this century (!), we had several choices in Accords and CRV's. We made an appointment to meet with Shawn at 10:30 a.m. on Friday and by 2 p.m. we were leaving the dealership in our "new" 2012 Honda Accord SE. We were shown the vehicles we had looked up online. We were not pressured into finding anything other than what we wanted to see. The CRV was fine, but was very much like the Jeep we own. I was looking for a comfortable sedan that will be good for long distance travel as well as local running around. The 2012 Accord was upgraded by Honda before the 2013/14 ones came out redesigned as explained to us by Shawn. We test drove the vehicle which was in impeccable condition. The financing process went smoothly. A lower rate was found for our financing than my husband had found at one of local credit unions. It was as painless as possible experience buying a car. We really thought we would be making a return trip to pick up the car. Taking it home the same day was a plus for us. Shawn was very good at describing the good qualities of the Accord and again, we didn't feel at all pressured by him to look at anything else newer or higher priced. The follow-up calls after the purchase were appreciated. We had at least three other consultants ask if they could help us when they saw us looking at cars. No one was pushy, but offering assistance. We have not yet used the service department so cannot comment on that aspect of Don Ayres Honda. We are satisfied to date on our purchase and would recommend them to car buyers.

It's amazing how this dealership is almost always in the top search results of the cars I was interested in, especially if sorting by lowest price, even among certified used ones. They are quick on e-mail inquiries. Even the Sara Ayres took the time to respond. They have high sales volume so that made my research a little tough. I also like how they reduce the price if the car has been sitting on their lot for a while. So it was also a waiting game like playing sniper. I kept an eye on a bunch of 2012 Civics, and another on the Subarus. Everytime I thought that was it ... poof ! It was gone. Finally decided on a 2012 Sport Premium Impreza. I was suprised how buying from this dealership was quick and painless. Darrin Bickel was pretty much straightforward. No drama. Accomodated me on right away from emails to test drive to sales closing. Even gave me a free foglight. Jami Langham made the financing easy to understand. I did not feel rushed. The best part, I got a very, very NICE rate from Teachers Credit Union. I got to drive the car home on the same afternoon. Everything went smoothly. My overall experience was almost perfect ... except for that I hit a deer 4 days later. I know, right? But that's a totally different story. My car's back on the road now and ready for bad weather.

My husband and I went to Don Ayres looking for a used vehicle (Honda or Toyota). We met Chris and my husband told Chris how much we wanted to spend (we recently purchased a used vehicle from a different small dealer & it was a terrible experience). Because of our bad experience, we did not have as much to spend when we went to Don Ayres. Chris took us to the used car lot. We looked at many vehicles. He then showed us a '99 Camry that was recently traded in. We ended up buying this vehicle. My husband and I are so pleased with our experience at Don Ayres. Chris was great! He didn't have to show us this Camry (we would have never found it). That just told me what an honest salesman Chris really is! Chris has made follow up calls to make sure we are happy with our purchase. We will definitely go back to Chris for future purchases at Don Ayres!

I just recently bought a 2007 Honda Civic Sedan. The entire process was very smooth and quick. Ty Odle was the salesman and I was very impressed with the overall knowledge of not only Honda automobiles but other makes and models also. Financing through Don Ayres also saved me .5% off my loan vs what my credit union offered me. Finally was also able to purchased a very reasonably priced 5 year 50,000 bumper to bumper warranty with only a $50 deductible.

Found the vehicle on line and gave the deposit over the phone. the salesman had 24 hours to have the vehicle ready. we took for the test drive and the interior was dirty and the TPMS light was on which my husband noticed. we waited two hours for the repairs and cleaning. we will still have to have the interior cleaned. the first day we drove it it rained and when we turned on the windshield wipers the drivers side wiper completly fell off. we are starting to wonder if the Honda used vehicle tests were actually completed. We paid a premium price for a used Honda Element should have had a better experience. But we do love the Element! just not the Service at Don Ayres. Update: Don ayers Honda did work with me to feel comfortable with taking the car on a long trip.They had a local Honda dealer do a check on the vehicle and everything turned out fine.

I have recently bought a new Accord 2014 from Don Ayres dealership. I am very pleased with the quality of work and would certainly recommend their work. Mr. Math Thorphe was so helpful and helped in every single aspect of the purchase. His voicemails reminded me every day that I needed a second car and he helped us with finding the best interest rate for financing the car.

Jeff Ward was a wonderful salesman for our used purchase! The financing was great with Jarred, but almost a "buzz kill" when he kept pushing extended warranty on us. I know the commission is great for selling these warranties, but I would not be paying high dollar for Toyota or Honda if I felt it was necessary. He kept expressing concern of Don Ayers reputation without buying the warranty and I said " you are about to ruin the reputation". We made life easy on Ayers and Ayers made life easy on us up until the end with pushing extended warranty. Moving forward, listen to the consumer and "no means no". In the end, Jeff added fuel and explained features on our way out.

My experience, first car purchase was not great! The day I bought my car everyone was friendly. I had to bring my car back in a few days later for key lock/ key fob repair and NOBODY was friendly!!! My car was left there all day for repairing of driver side door locks, key fobs, and automatic starter repair. After emailing my sales man, Chris around 2 or 3pm he emailed me back saying I could come and pick it up. I get there finding out that my car was not repaired and only 1 key fob was going to be replaced. Chris telling me I would have to pay for the 2nd key fob and for my driver side door to be repaired, which was going to cost me $200. I was extremely furious since this was part of my purchase. His response was " what do you expect, it's a used car" VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I will not be referring anyone to your sales dept. The service dept was great!! Doug Waltz is the BEST! He was the only one that made my buying purchase good. I took my car over to the service dept and Doug came over to ask what he could do, after giving him a run down of everything he informed me to not worry and he would take care of it. I left my car there over night so he could get everything fixed as soon as possible. He called me the next day, informed me of the repairs he was going to make and told me my car would be finished later that afternoon. When I picked up, my car was repaired and locks working great! Moral of my experience is sales dept is horrible on customer service but the service dept was great! Need more people in there like Doug Waltz there! I will continue to use the service dept but will never return to buy a car from the sales dept.

We were looking for a used car and were drawn to Honda after much online shopping and visiting several other lots and looking at several different types of cars. Our experience at Honda, especially with our salesman Chris Demetriades was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and never rushed us or pressured us in any way. The entire process of shopping, trade in, financing, and closing the deal was relaxed and stress free. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a great car and a great deal. Ask for Chris Demetriades.

WE TOOK OUR 2008 HONDA CIVIC IN BECAUSE THE A/C WASNT WORKING. THIS WAS NOT A SIMPLE REPAIR, IT TOOK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND A LOT OF PHONE CALLS TO TECH SUPPORT. JAY HYLAND KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ME, WAS SYMPATHETIC ABOUT IT TAKING SO LONG, AND KEPT WORKING ON THE CAR UNTIL THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND BOTH TIMES HONDA HAS SHOWN SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY HUSBAND HAD BACK SURGERY AND WAS OFF WORK FOR SIX MONTHS, SO BUYING A NEW VEHICLE IS ON HOLD TEMPORARILY. WE WILL BE BUYING A NEW HONDA FROM DON AYRES SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF JAY HYLAND AND YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ITS RARE A COMPANY STANDS BEHIND ANY PRODUCT ANYMORE AND HONDA DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB.THANK YOUSUE LEE

While visiting family in Fort Wayne I noticed one of my headlights was out so I called to see if I could get it replaced before driving home to New Hampshire. Even though the schedule was full I was told on the phone to come into service and they would squeeze me in. To my surprise when I showed up the next morning I was immediately called into the service bay and my light was fixed within the time it took to pay for the part. Wow what wonderful service, and friendly to! Thank you!

Though the service representative (Jay) was unable to contact me by telephone to get my approval to resurface the brake rotors on my 2000 Honda CRV, the service manager (Doug) told him that I would approve the necessary repair. This allowed me to get my car back about two hours sooner than if they waited to get my explicit approval before beginning the brake work. This kind of trust and relationship is the result of having purchased and maintained three Honda cars at Ayres Honda in the last twelve years. I have also recommended Ayres dealership to my friends who have also purchased cars.

This was by far the best experience I have ever had buying anything. I highly recommend Dave Smith at Don Ayers Honda. I set up test drive, but the night before I went in for the test drive I received a text from Dave saying the car had sold that day. I still set up a test drive to see if I liked the pilots and when I came in he was extremely courteous and not at all pushy. He then asked me exactly what I was looking for in a used car and told me they would find it for me within the next couple of weeks. Sure enough they found me exactly what I wanted. From the moment I started looking at Don Ayers to the moment I drove off the lot, I had a great experience and was very happy with the customer service.

I believe I bought a very solid, reliable used vehicle (Honda Civic 2008). However, I am still waiting on extra set of car keys (I think I should have been given 2 sets of keys when I picked up the car).Also, I am having second thoughts about all the warranties I bought. Basically, the overall extended warranty is money well spent, but if I could do it over again, I would not have gotten the extended warranty on the tires and rims.I would have preferred that the car be financed through my bank and was told I could get a little off the interest rate if I signed up for ECF with the bank. However, when I picked up car no one could tell me who the bank/lender was. I later found out from my car insurance agent who the lender was and I am not happy that the dealership did not give me this information up front.

Ben was very helpful. Answered all my questions and explained what I asked to me. I was a little early, but they took me in with no problems and treated me with much respect. I have always been very happy with my services at both the Honda dealer in Fort Wayne and the one I go to in Tucson, AZ. when I'm out there. I have friends who I highly recommend your dealership to, and they have purchased a van from you several months ago. Your dealership is clean and friendly and services are great.

My wife and I went to Don Ayres to look at picking up a new vehicle yesterday. What a mistake that turned out to be! We felt rushed, we felt like our salesman wasnt being honest with us, and we felt a little bullied into making a bad choice. We drove a vehicle, and were chatting about it after the test drive. As we got ready to leave and think about it, our salesman came out and said we needed to make a decision, because the vehicle we drove wasnt going to be available in the morning. He kept smooth talking us, saying that there was another couple in the dealership who just happened to be looking at the exact same car as us, and were working on financing right then imagine the odds! We, we went inside, got swept up, and put down a deposit. We left, went home, and immediately regretted the decision. This morning I called and talked to our salesman, as well as the manager, about getting our deposit back; mind you, we signed in the evening and called at the open of business the next day. We were told in no uncertain terms that we would not be getting the deposit back, since we had agreed to buy the vehicle. Well, I tried to talk to them, but they became rude and belligerent, and we ended at a deadlock. Even though the company lost virtually no time displaying the vehicle, since it was an overnight hold, they completely refused to come to terms. In all, it ended up being an expensive test drive, and nothing more. I would tell anyone who was thinking of doing business with Don Ayres to stay as far away as possible! How they managed to get a high rating is beyond me, since they were completely unresponsive to the needs of a potential customer. I will never, ever purchase a vehicle at, service a vehicle at, or recommend anyone go to Don Ayres. Stay away!

This was the best experience I've ever uad at a car dealership. After being taken advantage of because of my lack of experience and age at another dealership a few years ago Don Ayers was a breath of fresh air. David Smith helped me from beginning to end and was the perfect sales man. We looked at a few cars that werent hondas and I ended up finding the car of my dreams. With the car just coming in from an outside source it needed a few things worked on and he made sure that they would be fixed before leaving with the car. That was amazing. They could have let me leave and deal with any issues on my own but they didn't. The whole process was extremely simple but they went in depth on each part to make sure we were well informed and I really appreciated that. In the end they were even able to give me some trade in value on the car I had recently blown a head gasket on. I would recommend that anyone who needs a car go here.

When I initially came in I had a few different ideas on what kind of car I was looking for. Andy discussed all of my options and was very helpful in determining the pros and cons. At the end of the day, I decided to purchase a 2010 Honda Accord. It is a great vehicle and my family and I are very satisfied. Thank you Don Ayres Honda.

Friendly greeting on arrival. I was immediately connected with my service advisor. He discussed with me all of the things that should be done and the length of time it would take. He called me with a few additional things that were found that should be added and explained how much longer it would take. He communicated very well and the experience was great.

I came in for an oil change, and a noise in the front end. When they couldn't see anything wrong, I asked him to please drive it; he did, and found the problem. They fixed it that very day! I was thrilled. And it cost even less than the quote he gave me.(He did forget to replace my windshield wipers but that's not so important to me). I really appreciated the service I got and the time he took to explain to me what he did, and why. I will definitely come back, and will refer others as well, if the topic arises.

Ask these guys a lot of questions. I still feel there's something funny about our car; something they didn't tell us. Financing, although Jami was great, I felt duped. We stated 60 months in our credit application and were presented with a 72 month loan. Having driven all the way from Cleveland for the car, that was unsettling for my wife and I. Returning home, it took us a couple of days to look at the car without distaste - sort of like leaving a bad taste in our mouths. We'd like to believe the dealership was helpful, but I felt the price should have been more negotiable on the car, and then that 72 month surprise - both reflect poorly on the dealership to us. Having just sold the same model of car, I am more than aware of the bargaining in selling a car. Sitting in the dealership, we realized the car we HAD was better than the one we were purchasing. Dave Smith did his best to contend with us, but we were wavering at that point. When I questioned the price again, he offered to show us older cars instead of offering us a better deal on the car we came to buy. It felt like the dealership was just playing hardball, and being a business owner myself, I know the give and take in pricing. Don Ayers was not giving a dime and that made us feel like we were being taken advantage of, since we had traveled so far. Overall, I wouldn't say we wouldn't go back, but in all the years of buying cars, this was probably one of the least enjoyable transactions.

Since I purchased my vehicle on-line it was important to have quality/accurate communication. Joe Parro provided all the necessary information and follow through to make it a great transaction. The people at Don Ayres were professional, friendly,and made my visit feel like a family get together. Also, Joe spent all the time I needed to go over all the information about the car, from the multiple features, operating recommendations, and service options. I would highly recommend this dealership and would definitely purchase another vehicle from them.

This car was purchased out of state for us, and the dealer did not tell us up front that Inidana did NOT collect all of Ohio tax, therefore when we were discussing price, I thought it included everything, but in fact we discovered we would have to pay an addition $700 for Ohio tax. I feel that he should have disclosed this at the time of price negotiation. I had an issue with the purchase contract after looking over it the next day. I realize it was my mistake not to review it in detail at the time of signing. The purchase price and the trade in price was not what we originally discussed. Although the out the door price was the same, the purchase price and the trade was raised $2032. Since Ohio tax is based on the purchase price, this caused us to owe additional Ohio sales tax. I called Bill to ask if he could have the buyers order changed showing the price that he originally quoted rather than the inflated price that they chose to use. I was told that it was a sign contract and they would do nothing. I was made to feel that I was asking them to do something illegal when I was just asking them to use the figures that we were originally quoted rater than their inflated price. When I asked why it was changed from what we originally discussed, he hung up on me!!!! Although I was upset about the situation, I was not rude or mean, I merely wanted a reason for the price change.I have purchased close to 20 Honda products over my lifetime and will continue to buy Honda as it is a solid, great vehicle. I will never again consider Don Ayres for a purchase. I see absolutely no reason for a salesman to hang up on a customer.

Rick met us on site with a friendly, non-pushy attitude, asked what interest we had and calmly, warmly invited us to review several autos on the lot. One vehicle struck my fancy and he did not but encourage me to know more about the car. An invitation to drive it was welcome and he accompanied me around the block. All the presentation impressed me and it was easy to enter into a discussion that resulted in a sale.Rick represented Don Ayres Honda in a professional manner. His style was pleasant but not overpowering, combining the "closing" that both the company and we expected. He is a credit to the sales staff, and I am pleased to recommend both he and Ayres to my friends.Rev. William E. D. Barlow5217 Goldfinch LaneFort Wayne, IN 46818

My dad and I were looking for a good, reliable used vehicle that was "stylish" for a 21 year old girl. We happened to stop at Don Ayers on our way home, and even though it was pretty close to closing time, Dave helped us out. Most dealers would be itching to get home, but Dave was so willing to help us, even at short notice. We found my car, and he was constantly available via email/call/text to answer any questions and keep us updated. He really helped me find a car that was a good fit in what I was looking for. If you're looking for a newer used car in good condition, Dave is the guy you want to go see. He will tell you everything you need to know, good and bad, and show you ALL of your options. Very happy with the service here!

Doug Settle always makes me feel like I am the only client he has that day. I actually look forward to going to get my car serviced! He does a nice job of demanding such service through his employees as well. There is no question that besides Honda reliability, Doug and his team are the main reasons we buy new Hondas at Don Ayres. Keep up the great work !!!

I have been taking my Honda (previously my 1981 Prelude, now my 2001Accord) to Don Ayres since the mid 1990's, when I moved to the area. As a female, I have always been treated with respect. They are and always have been good listeners and helpful. On my most recent visit, I was having an issue with my new cell phone, not ringing. Concerned about receiving a call from the service department, I asked Mr. Suter for assistance. He figured it out and adjusted my phone to ring. They certainly are not in the business of cell phones but they have always been kind and helpful with me. I also use the shuttle service (free) that they offer while my vehicle is being serviced. This really helps me out when leaving my car so I can accomplish other things (usually attending classes at Ivy Tech or IPFW). I always allow more time than I need when using that service during busy times of the day (especially first thing or toward the end of the day) so that I can get to where I need to go on time. That is a very small "price" to pay for the ability to get around!

I am starting graduate school in the fall and need a reliable car to get me to and from school. I went on autotrader.com looking for a Honda Civic Si. I found one a Don Ayres and emailed the dealership on a Sunday night.I live out of town so email was the best way to communicate since I could not see the car in person. On Monday morning I had received an email from Dave Smith about the car. After sending a couple emails back and forth he had sent me a personalized video of the car and we had began discuss financing options. He gave me his cell phone number to make it easier to contact him since I was working with him. On the Saturday I was able to make it up to Fort Wayne and look at the car. This was the easiest purchase I have ever made. The dealership was very friendly and willing to work with my situation. I would recommend this dealership to anyone. I would also recommend working with Dave Smith.

I can't believe this dealership has such a high rating. Guessing it's because most of their business and customers are local which of course they take care of and all the bad ones have been deleted. All I can say is don't waste your time on this place. We had the most UNFORGETABLE transaction experience. I will not go into details, but we were treated unfairly and rudely taken care of. They didn't even try and make it right. Morals, integrity and honesty are not something they're aware of. I hope that GREED helps you out. IF I COULD GIVE LESS THAN A 1 STAR RATING I WOULD!!

I normally love working with Don Ayres. But since the scheduling process has changed (it appears to me that it has been outsourced), I am not happy with the appointment process.I came in for an oil change and tire rotation. I have been hearing an odd noise and asked for them to take a look at it. I was told it would take several hours and I did not have that kind of time to wait on that day. In the meantime, I had some medical issues and have been off work and unable to drive. I called today for an 'appointment' to have the car looked at and am told I cannot get it in until Thursday. This doesn't seem to me that this is offering excellent service. I should be able to get my car in for a serious sounding problem in less than three days. So, I have rated my service as 'good' because there was no accommodation from the dealership to get my car in for an evaluation in a timely manner. And I hate the new appointment process.

Abu Sesay was the first salesman to greet us out on the lot on Saturday. Abu was the most friendly salesman I've met, he's so genuine. A lot of the salesman I've spoke with throughout my lifetime are very pushy. I'm in sales, so I know what it's like. But you have to be able to find that fine line to ride on between being a salesman and being genuine. Abu Sesay knew his vehicles and I was so relieved to get to work with him throughout my car buying experience. Abu is so funny and down to earth. I can tell he really cares about his customers and he isn't your typical salesman. He asked us to call or text him when we arrived home in our new vehicles. We visited the dealership on a Saturday and came back on Wednesday to purchase two vehicles from Abu. On Saturday Abu mentioned texting him my car information in order for them to get ahead on the car buying process. I don't know very many salesman who will willing tell you to text them on their days off to do work. HE WAS GREAT!!!! I will go back to this dealership. I will trade my car back in with them. And I will highly recommend this dealership and ABU SESAY! He is a very well-rounded guy! Jami was a doll. She was so knowledgable. And really made you feel at home. HANDS DOWN THE BEST DEALERSHIP I'VE BEEN TO.

We love the service dept. at Don Ayres! They are honest- not just looking for things to charge you to fix when you go in. However, we were completely disappointed with the sales end. We recently got a great deal on our new car, but were offered an offensively low price for our trade-in. We had done a great deal of research on how much the car was worth (trade in value) and how much it was selling for at area dealerships so we had a very reasonable range in mind. They offered us thousandS below trade in value and were not honest about a variety of things in the process. The issues were resolved finally, but we left feeling like it was an unpleasant experience. I was completely disappointed since our last purchase at Don Ayres 7 years ago was great! Since our purchase 2 weeks ago, I have run into two other friends who have recently had the same issue there. If you are planning on trading a car, do your research about the car's value and be prepared to be firm. Also, don't be caught off guard with an offensively low offer on a trade in.* The "OK" rating for price was given because of the price value on the trade-in. The purchase price on our new vehicle was "great"

We were purchasing a Honda cr v and when we were ready to do the paper work, things came to a halt and it took over an hour to complete. I'am sure it was not for a credit check or any thing like that. It appeared there was not anyone to do it.

Don Ayers is awesome, in fact after my car was totaled Do Ayers is the only place I looked for a replacement. Their cars are clean, nice, and reliable. The service all around is great and the people are fantastic. I highly urge everyone looking for a car, truck, van, what have you to try Don Ayers you will leave with a great car and happy!

I was looking for a newer used car to replace my old 98 cavalier. A family member told me to go speak to gabe tichenor at don ayres. Upon going there he met me outside and shook my hand. We looked at a ford focus and 4 honda civic's . After test driving a few cars i bought the 2011 honda civic ex sedan. If your looking for a friendly and kind salesmen, give gabe a call. If i had a friend looking for a car i would them speak to gabe my salesmen.

I went in so that they could perform the service required at 10,000 miles The entire process was flawless from the time I made the appointment to the time I drove out of the dealership. The staff, especially Matt Connett was very attentive and frequently visited the waiting area to give me updates on the progress of the work. The waiting area is pleasant. I particularly like the fact that it has tables and chairs on which one can set a laptap or other electronic device. I also liked the fact that the dealership washed my car as part of its service. I also liked the fact that the TV was not too loud so one could read or listen to other sources of information via headphones. Muted with captions would be even better. The coffee bar was also welcome.

The service experience was good. It seems like it takes so long to set up an appointment. The earliest that I could get in when I called was one week. The time before was 3 days. Even though it was warranty work they didn't offer and I forgot to ask for a receipt for service performed. I called Friday and left a message for them to mail me one, but I haven't hear back yet. They normally wash the vechile, but it wasn't done when I picked up the vechile this time. I didn't ask for it to be washed, since I was in a hurry to leave when I returned. I had to ask one other time for it to be washed, which they did.

Anwar and the rest of the team were outstanding in helping me buy my "new to me" car. The experience was the best I've experienced over a lifetime of buying about 10 cars. They had the used auto that I wanted -- found it on-line then went to the dealership. I was done in a couple of hours and drove off with the very car that I'd been looking for. Price and trade-in exceeded the very best deal I'd imagined. I will go back and also recommend Don Ayres to my friends.

After deciding it was time to move on from the vehicles that had been good to us for several years, we looked at both Sedans and small SUV's while trying to find to find one to meet both financial sense as well as personal satisfaction. Basically we looked at GM - Ford - Toyota - Honda while covering the primary models that fell into our search pattern. In the end, the new Honda CR-V won out as the vehicle of choice for my wife to drive. Working with Don Ayers dealership made the purchase process go seamless while helping us get the deal done to meet our budget. Having had the service done there regular, the work is done as expected and at the best cost in town - $ 12.95 oil change ( for vehicles purchased there ). I will continue to promote them and followed my own advice while getting a 2nd CR-V last fall for my daughter. Absolutely a great vehicle and a great dealership to work with. If you're needing a salesman, ask for Bill Fenoglio who will do you right during the process. ** the only problem I have had is that I don't get to drive either of them !

All I have to say is that if I or anyone needs to buy a car in the future, the one and only place to go is Don Ayres Honda. Ask for Andy Hitzemann. He was the gentleman that helped us and he was amazing. He made us very comfortable and did not pressure us at all. I can't stress enough how great he was. Remember the name Andy Hitzemann when you go to Don Ayers Honda! He is the reason that we will be going back in the future.

Don Ayres Honda Service is the only shop I've trusted to care for my 2004 Honda Pilot. I bought my Pilot new from Don Ayres and followed their recommended service schedules. Although I'm not an expert mechanic, it has been comforting to know Doug Settle and his team of experts have been there to proactively keep my car running well and my family safe. With 280,000 miles on my car, I can honestly tell you my car still feels and drives like new! I have not had to worry about how I would get my family every where we needed or wanted to go, including taking us on Spring Break safely to Florida each year. What a great value the quality of a Honda vehicle and the expertise of the Don Ayres service team have provided to me and my family!

Jay kept us informed throughout the day on what needed done and the progress of work. We are very happy with Doug Settle and Jay Hyland. They always provide great service providing detail of the work. They are the reason we keep coming back to Don Ayres and why we stick with a Honda!

Everyone at the dealership was just great. I want to extend a special thank you to Darrin Bickel for just doing a fantastic job from beginning to end including not only getting the deal done but introducing us to other folks in the dealership as well as going above and beyond to help us feel at ease. I had dealt with a small dealership in a small town for 2 decades and never thought a big city dealership was right for me. I was completely wrong. My wife and I look forward to our doing buisness with Don Ayres in the future. Again, our most sincere thanks to Darrin and the entire staff. Sincerely, Rick and Cheryl McCullough

Joe Parra was on top of his game in the process of selling and informing my wife and I about the Pilot we bought.

He made sure to check over the vehicle while I was still there and look for any issues that might come up during the srvice appointment. I really like the attention to detail and that even if I forget to mention something, Matt was more than willing to suggest a service that I might be interested in.

Thanks to cars.com, I knew exactly what used car I wanted to see when I arrived at Don Ayres Honda. Ed Feipel came out to greet me in the pouring rain and then brought the car into the garage where I could look at it in the warmth and not get soaking wet. I contacted the dealership the next day and told them I'd take the car if they could take car of a few minor fixes. The car was ready to go the next day and their business manager Jami even got me a better interest rate than my own bank. Overall, the service was great. I just wish they could have warmed up the weather so I could have driven home with the top down on my "new to me" convertible. :) Thanks Ed for all your hard work. (Oh, and that Internet Value Pricing thing was cool too.)

I worked with Jarod and he did not high-pressure me, and for someone that takes a long time to make a decision - that made it a lot easier. I now am happily driving my new 2010 CRV. Jarod must have went on about 10 different test drives with me while I tried to figure out what I wanted and yet he was very patient and understanding. The price was more than fair and I will buy from Don Ayres again.

We were on our way to another dealership to buy a different car when we decided to stop at Don Ayres Honda. I'm glad we did. We worked with Steve Bowman and he was great. He found a new arrival that we hadn't seen that was an even better deal (overall) than what we were looking at. In the end, the deal was too good to pass up. We purchase that day! I never once felt pressured but felt well taken care of. I had one small issue that was beyond the control of Don Ayres. All I had to do was mention the issue to them and it was handled immediately. I've read the (very small) handful of negative reviews for Don Ayres, and can't help but wonder if the reviewer actually ever made their concerns known to the Don Ayres staff. This is a top notch organization with a great group of people! Thanks again guys! You are great!

I purchased a 2004 Acura TL in October and was disappointed with the service. I had totaled my previous car so I was in a bit of a rush to get a new one. BIG mistake. None of the salesmen knew anything about the car. Apparently one of the salesmen Aaron Warner was the previous owner of the car. I don't think he did any maintenance to the car except change the oil. After purchasing the car I found out the transmission fluid was completely brown and had never been changed. I bought the car with 104,000 miles on it and wasn't told it would soon need the 105k service costing around $1000. This car was not even looked at by the service department before sale. Why doesn't Don Ayers do an inspection? This car had never even had its air filter or cabin filter changed. I was laughed at when asked if the car had been detailed before selling it because it still smelled of smoke. Not to mention after purchasing the car I realized they had taken out the back floor mats and I had to buy brand new ones. Who would take these out of the car before selling? I will never recommend Don Ayers Honda to anyone for buying a car. My lesson from dealing with Don Ayers: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Don't have time to waste, so straight-forward explanations and answering questions directly was important to us. Also, no "numbers tricks"... just saying the way it is... thank you! Finally, it's nice to get a "good deal" explained to you ... from beginning to the END of a lease... with the end-of-lease VALUE an important part of process. Great job... thanks!

I had a great experience at Don Ayres Honda. I did most of my research online, and I was hesitant to go through a dealership. Anwar was excellent throughout the entire process. He was always available for questions and made me feel more at ease with my purchase. I ended up with the perfect car for me - at an excellent price! Any issue I had with the vehicle was dealt with immediately. The process was efficient and easy! I was more than impressed. I suggest Anwar and Honda to anyone in the market!

I am happy to say that we were very pleased with our service from Joe Parra at Don Ayres Honda. We are from Decatur, IL and found the Honda Element that we wanted online at Auto Trader. From that point, I talked with Joe on the phone about the car. He sent me a video of the Element and noted all the features of the car. I sent him photos of our used Element for our trade-in.Joe was very easy to talk to and interested in giving us the best deal possible for our car as well as the one that we bought. I highly recommend Joe and Don Ayres Honda for their honesty, customer service and friendliness.We drove all the way from Decatur, IL, a nine hour drive, to get our car from Don Ayres Honda! Also, we appreciated the efficient way that our paperwork was handled.All in all, it was a great experience, and I wish that this Honda dealership was closer to us so that we could do business with Joe and Don Ayres Honda in the future. Many thanks for the way that we were treated and for selling us the exact car that we wanted at a fair price. We could not have asked for more.

I found this car online at donayer.com. Aaron describe the car perfect. He sent me a custom video of the car i was looking at. I told him what time I could be at the dealership, and he made himself available! I would highly recommend Aaron as anyone's next expert/advisor when getting a car/truck. Aaron not only a sales person, but a partner in what you are purchasing. He has consistant follow up after the sale. I had left something in the car I had traded in. Aaron went the extra mile, by going back to the dealership after his shift, he pick up what I had left and was able to deliver it to me. If you want someone to go the "extra mile" for you, Aaron will do it!Aaron is an effective communicator. We communicated via text, email, and phone throughout and even after the buying process.

It was nice to find a dealer that started with the price listed on line. Chris and Steve were straight forward as to what they could do and they didn't give crazy sales pitches to sell a car. Steve was very willing to work with me on the price and Don Ayres did a great job. Thanks guys.

We were looking for a very specific used Honda CR-V and couldn't find one in our area (northern Michigan.) Remembering Don Ayers from when we lived in the Fort Wayne area and planing a trip that way we looked at their website. We found one we were interested in and made a phone call. The next day we stopped on our way through and it was still available. We were met in the parking lot by a helpful sales rep who directed us to the person we had spoken with on the phone. When this person was not available (busy working with another customer) we were shortly directed to Joe Parra. Joe was helpful, friendly and did not give us any of that high pressure approach. While we didn't plan on driving away with a CR-V that day (we thought maybe on our return home in a few days) we did indeed drive away with just what we were looking for! From our experience with Don Ayers I just wished we lived closer so we could have our 2009 Honda CR-V serviced at Ayers.

I just bought a used car (daughter's first car) and totally got the "Honda Experience!" They are fantastic at "Don Ayres Honda" and are willing to do what it takes to make the buyer happy. Jeff Gilmore (salesman) was very personable and got the car that we wanted at the price that we needed. I really feel that he cared about my needs. Thanks Jeff!

I have bought several cars over the years,more then the average consumer. I as most people have fell victim to pushy sales people who only want to make a buck and care about themselves. I just bought a new car at Don Ayres and have nothing but good things to say about them and how we were treated, and I even had the whole family in there, kids included. We were blessed to have a Honest,fair and respectable sales person Gabriel Tichenor, (Gabe)I feel that he went above and beyond what a normal sales person would do, did not feel like he was in sales at all, more of a friend. The finance department went above and beyond as well. I know for sure that our next Honda we purchase will be from these guys, which might take many years because we are Honda owners and they last forever but I will not hesitate to go back there at all and will recommend anyone to go there because this dealer is beyond compare! Thanks again for everything!

Dave was very friendly and helpful with the purchase of my vehicle. He was not the typical car salesman. He was not pushy or rude and just trying to make a sale. He was very personable and really cared about answering all my questions.

I went to don ayers just to test drive a honda accord coupe but after talking with ed and john who is part of the sales team there they made a great offer I couldn't refuse on a 2010 honda accord coupe I told what my terms where in order for them to get my business and they met everyone and then some. I would recommend don ayers to everyone.

We were very impressed with the attention that Andy Hitzemann gave us when we were looking for a specific color of used Honda CRV, we would highly recommend buying a new or used vehicle from this dealership, they are not high pressure and they really go out of their way to help you, it was a very pleasant buying experience for us.

This was the most positive dealer experience I have ever had --- and I bought my first car way back in 1972! We drove 140 miles (280 miles round trip) to purchase the exact used Honda CR-V that we wanted. We pre-arranged the meeting, and our sales representative Anwar had the vehicle completely ready for a test drive when we pulled up. The price on the vehicle was fair, the trade-in allowance was fair, and the "customer experience" could not have been any better. Anwar did everything possible to accomodate us, and to completely walk us through the buying process. Business Manager John Hofmann was precise, efficient, and friendly as we completed the documentation for the transaction. Here we are exactly one week later after our purchase, and we are even more satisfied now than the day we left Don Ayres Honda!

I was referred to Steve Bowman at Don Ayres by my cousin. He wasn't available when I initially showed up, so Bill Fenoglio helped me until Steve was available, instead of just having me sit there and wait. I told Steve what I was looking for in a car and payment-wise, and he was great. He kept in touch with me almost every day, keeping me updated on what was going on. The dealership I bought my previous car from was very pushy, acting like they were doing me some huge favor. Steve wasn't like that at all. He seemed very happy to help me and just as excited as I was when I found out that I was able to lease a 2012 Honda Civic! Jami was also great when we did the paperwork; she was very friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Everyone I talked to encouraged me to stay in touch, and let me know if I had any questions or concerns, that they'd be happy to help. I would definitely recommend Don Ayres in general, and particularly Steve, to anyone I know! Plus you just can't beat the $12.95 oil changes, not even if you do it yourself. Thanks for the great experience guys, I'll definitely be back when my lease is up! I'm loving the Civic, especially the gas mileage (hit 45 average mpg the other day)!

Mr Demetriades was great! He treated us great and helped us to get a great deal. If we ever decide to get a second vehicle I would make the hour drive to this dealer again! He has also been done exceptionally well following up with us. We would highly recommend this dealership to anyone!

This buying process went extremely well and was a great experience. The people were very helpful and were not pushy nor did they try to persuade me into getting something I didn't want. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone buying a vehicle, great experience!

I recently purchased my SIXTH Honda vehicle, a CR-V EX-L. I have very severe back problems from twenty years in the construction industry and another twenty years working on concrete floors as a Technology Education teacher. The CR-V with the ten way seat and power lumbar cushion turned out to be the ONLY vehicle/seating combination that would allow me to continue to drive comfortably! I have always encouraged my kids (who each own two Hondas of their own now) to buy Honda for high value, low maintenance, comfort, fun, and "just turn the key and go RELIABILITY". I would also recommend that you at least give Honda a serious look when you choose to purchase your next vehicle. Of special note in my recent experience are: Rick Squires the Manager in New Car Sales, Shawn Baney my Sales Representative, John Hofmann in Finance, and Troy Johnson in Service. Each of these gentlemen get five of five stars from me for excellence in their respective areas of expertise at Don Ayres Honda.

I am customer 640404 on Invoice 382039. I visited Don Ayres on October 1, 2012 at 1 PM for a recall software upgrade. I was told the fix would take maybe 2 hours. While waiting in the waiting room I witnessed some of the best customer service from Mr. Wells who repeatedly visited with his client throughout the afternoon keeping him well informed. I applaud this type of customer service. I think my service was handed off from Chuck to Troy without letting Troy know I was in the waiting room. I believe I was forgotten until one of the nice cashiers finally asked my name at 5:45 PM. My battery was tested at 1:31 PM. This was my first experience visiting Don Ayres Honda for a Honda Service call, I am not sure I will be back.

Our research led us to Honda, but the big decision was to downsize from a full-size van to a small SUV. Sharon was not only knowledgeable about the car, she was extremely helpful in our making a good decision for our current transportation needs. I know she needs to sell cars to make a living, but we both felt she served as an objective observer/sounding board for our discussion and at no time did we feel any pressure to purchase something that we may regret later. Her suggestions and opinions seemed to be heartfelt and it seemed our interests were foremost in her mind. The suggestions and rationale she gave us to purchase this particular car were very valuable. We have only had the car for a few days, but having it home has confirmed our decision to purchase this particular car--Sharon's comments were right on the money. We also felt pressure-free from the business manager as he finalized our sale. At my age I am interested in safe, secure and relatively trouble free transportation--not interested in cars as toys or status symbols and therefore don't buy cars very often (we drove our van for 11 years). Sharon's approach to us from start to finish was one of being helpful in order to satisfy our needs. She made this process very comfortable. Given our record of new car purchases, we won't be in the market anytime soon for a car, but when we are Sharon will be the first person we'll call.

Just purchased a 2010 Honda Civic Certified Car. My experience was PHENOMINAL! I submitted a request online to test drive a vehicle. My request was answered within 5 MINUTES! I was then called to set up an appointment. The Sales People were friendly without being pushy or arrogant. From test driving to purcasing my vehicle every person I delt with was friendly and professional. THE PROCESS WAS EFFORTLESS. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DON AYRES TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. AND I WILL DEFINITELY PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE THERE AS WELL.

Andy was very helpful, thorough in presentation of the vehicle,before and after the sale. There was no pressure to buy at any time. Andy was very customer friendly. At delivery of vehicle he made time to explain all important features of the vehicle that we would use right away. We truly appreciated our experience with the Don Ayres dealership. We really enjoyed our experience! Andy Hitzemann is the best!!

My salesperson went out of his way to help me get a decent deal. He was not pushy and I never got a sales pitch. Even when it came back that my trade had a bad carfax report on it, my salesperson helped me get a few hundred extra on it.

I've been looking for several weeks for a newer used Honda Ridgeline and finally found one for a good price. I was preapproved with a very good interest rate from my credit union before buying this truck and was pleasently suprised that they were able to get me an even better rate. My only complaint would be they could of done a better job detailing the truck before I arrived for the test drive.Otherwise the whole experience was a pleasent one and I would not hesitate returning to this dealer.

I had my Odyssey in for an oil change on Friday, August 31st. The morning after my oil change I noticed a rather large oil spot on my drive way. I called in to see whether they could get it in the same day, which they couldn't, so I had to make an appointment for the next business day. What I thought was going to be a minor oil change turned into 5 days that I could not use my car. I live 30 miles from Don Ayres, so I had to waste my time and gas taking my car back to Ft. Wayne. Come to find out the person changing my oil did not drain the oil properly and there was oil stuck in a reservoir, so that is why it was dripping. The service department did not offer to pay for my oil change or compensate me in any way for the major inconvenience this caused.

Don Ayres Honda and my sales expert Mark Harrison are exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone shopping for a new or used Honda. This is my 3rd Honda from them. They have always bent over backwards to accommodate me both buying a new car or getting my Honda serviced. That's why I keep coming back!

Chuck in the Service Center, showed excellent customer service while I was in on 9/4/12. I would say I've always had a really good experience at Don Ayres Honda, but Chuck has got to be the best Service person I've had yet. He went above and beyond on what I usually get from your Employees. Just wanted to give a great review.Thanks again.

I was searching for a newer car with great gas mileage and after visiting several dealerships decided Honda was the right fit for me. Their certified pre-owned cars have a great warranty. I was referred to Aaron Warner by an aqcuaintance but he was not there on my first visit. Ed Feipel helped me by answering my early stage questions and by providing detailed information about each car I asked about. On my second visit Aaron had already talked with Ed so we were all the same page and I did not have to start at square one. In both of my visits, the salesmen were very knowledgeable about the inventory. They honestly shared different aspects of each car to help me narrow down which model would be the best fit for what I needed. When I test drove a car, they made sure I drove in the city and highway because part of my work drive is highway. They were not pushy for me to get in a car but were very patient with my questions and browsing. After I selected the car I wanted, the financing process was quick and easy. Since I selected my car on a Friday of a holiday weekend they gave me the option of taking my car and enjoying it for the weekend before bringing it back the next business day for detailing and certification since it had just been traded in from a lease only a couple days before. During the whole process I felt like my thoughts and needs were highly valued and I was completely satisfied with every aspect of my car search!

Rick Kruger did a great job of introducing us to the Crosstour. We had no intention of buying a car that day but couldn't resist the call of the Crosstour. Rick did a wonderful job of walking us through the process and the finance people were great. The whold process took about 2 hours. This is my second Honda from them. My Pilot has 178000 hard miles on it and still running great. I liked the Crosstour because it has the same chassis and engine.

After finding the car I was intrested in I explained to Brian that I was hoping for a deal. I then went home spoke to my husband and he voiced his terms, i then voiced them to Brian who seemed unable to help us. I then valued my trade on your website and recieved a message from andy who seemed to want to work for the sale, we nearly had adeal then he backed out and said he couldnt do it because i spoke to brian first. he knew i spoke to someone, and ive never heard of someone making a offer then taking it off the table. I will be passing this on to everyone i know

Was coming from quite a distance and Ed was very helpful to get all the little stuff done before we got there. Having to put down a deposit to hold it kind of locked us in and didn't ive us any wiggle room but the reduced price was the best we had seen but quite a bit. Trade-in value was no where near what we had been quoted locally, but it all worked out in the end. Very happy with the team. Seemed to be honest and upfront and no surprises.

Aaron was great! From when I emailed him about needing a car till I finally bought one, he kept me in the loop. He kept me informed of the current cars and any incoming cars that he thought might interest me, until I found one. For my first car, I felt the experience was good. The car had some nicks and scratches on it that were worked out mostly to my satisfaction, which I know comes with a used car. Thank you!

I'm pleased with our decision to use Don Ayres and look forward to several more positive interactions with this dealership.

We have always had nice people to work with, good customer service, and friendly smiles when we walk into the showroom or service department. Oil changes are super cheap, they have a complementary soda fountain, and they wash your car after an oil change! Joe Parra is knowledgeable about the cars options, always available to help, and easy to talk to.

My wife and I traded in our 2009 Toyota Highlander in April of this year. We dealt with Bill Fenoglio who was able to get us into two vehicles for what we wanted in terms of price out the door. After living with the 2012 Honda CR-V we decided that it was too small for our needs and wished to trade into a new Odyssey. Bill was able to work with us and talked us into a 3 year lease for the new van and explained away all of our concerns as we had never leased before. I am still cautious about the lease but I I am more than pleased with the way we have been treated and I am very happy with Honda products that we have had (this will be our fourth with three being purchased new) and hope to continue to have a long buying/leasing relationship with Bill and the Don Ayres Honda.

This is a great place to buy your car! They were very accommodating of our schedules and had the cars we were interested in pulled up and ready to go. We had already agreed to buy the car and when he came back with paperwork he found that while we were shopping the price of the car had dropped in the webpage so he revised the price to match. I saw Anwar on Thursday and he set up an appointment for us with Joe Parra for Saturday. Both salesman were very helpful and a pleasure to do business with. We financed there at Don Ayres and got a great rate! Now we have the exact car we needed for our situation and couldn't be happier. I have dealt with Don Ayres in the past and I know that thier service department is also spot on! Buy your next car at Don Ayres!

This is the first Honda I have owned. Buicks and Lexus SUV's have been my usual buys. As soon as the warranty ends I trade. Liked the looks of the Honda CRV and interested in a smaller SUV from the others I have had. Salesman Ty was very personable, knowledgeable and professional. He listened to what I wanted and spent a great deal of time with me. I was able to take the car out for awhile and show my Husband. I had always heard friends compliment the service they have received on their Hondas at Don Ayres Honda as well as the quality of the Honda. Sales Manager Shannon was also involved in the sale and he was pleasant, personable and professional.

He did everything that he told us he would do and in a timely manner. When we picked up the car, there was a small problem and Gabe got it corrected right away. He followed up with us a few days after we brought the car home to be sure we were able to set up the options without any problem. All in all, our experience with Gabe and Don Ayres Honda was very positive.

The last three visits to the service department have left me disappointed. Today I came in to because of a safety recall on my can. I made an appointment for 1pm. I arrived at 12:45pm. I was asked if I wanted an inspection. I agreed. I heard nothing during the course of my visit until I made an inquiry 2 hours later. I was told the van would be ready in 10 minutes. Forty minutes later I had to ask again.Prior work on the van was also less than satisfactory. The instrument panel had to be replaced. I left the van, things were replaced. I left the dealership to find that several lights and points on the panel were not working. I returned to have things made right. However, several bulbs had to be replaced and were not in stock. My SRS light was lite when it had not been before. I know things happen and I am usually graceful about a mishap. However, three visits in a row makes me not want to return.Sincerely,Dean J JohnsonOwner 2002 Odyssey and 2005 Civic

My wife and I were recently discharged from a bankruptcy and were looking to re-establish our credit. We were not quite sure what to expect. We didn't even know if we would be approved, or if we would have to pay a high interest loan. We were both extremely pleased and satisfied with everything. Our Salesperson Joe Parra went above and beyond to find us a vehicle that we would be happy to own. And our Finance manager Jami Langham definately worked hard to find us a loan with a payment and rate that exceeded our expectations. Don Ayres Honda is definately the dealer that we will choose and recommend to anyone to looking to buy a vehicle.Thanks to everyone for making this car buying experience a great one.

I just purchased a used 2012 Honda Civic from Don Ayres and love the car. I did quite a bit of research online checking out 2012 Honda Civics and pricing. I was delighted to find this 'used' 2012 with low mileage and in spotless shape. Having access to the Carfax report was very helpful. I found all the staff especially, Andy Hitzemann and Jeremy Todd, to be very informative and supportive in making this a great experience.

After much online research trying to select the best car at the best price to fit my needs I visited Don Ayres to just test drive a couple of their used Honda Civics. I ended up purchasing one of the vehicles and couldn't be happier. The car was listed at a very competitive price and in excellent condition. I worked with both Andy Hitzemann and Jeremy Todd to purchase the vehicle. Both gentlemen exhibited excellent customer service and made the experience very satisfying. I believe I was treated very fairly at Don Ayres. I have been a return customer of Don Ayres in both the sales and service areas for almost 30 years. I have returned because of their excellent products and excellent service.

This is the third car that I have bought from Don Ayers, on 4740 Lima Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana , with the first and second car I had a great expierance and Don Ayers was the first place that I thought of when I needed another car. After buying this last car I am sure I will never buy another car from you again.This company has failed to provide good service to me since I bought my car 4 months ago. The first saleman that was helping me Darrin Bickel was not nice to me and my friend at all. He was rude, not very friendly and appeared to be upset when I wanted to test drive more than 2 cars, we left the lot to look at a different car and then came back to drive the car I bought one more time before making a decision. When we came back a different salesman Brian Bicknese helped us, he was much nicer than the first guy. After I bought the car I have been called 3 times to come back in to sign paperwork that had been forgotten. I also just got a letter from siriusxm satellite radio that I have 2 months left on my 3 month of free satellite radio that came with the car when I bought it. I was not told that I would get 3 months of free service, I called siriusxm asking about only having 2 months left and just getting notified now and was told that the dealership that I bought the car from was responsibe to giving me the information. Next failure was when I went for an oil change on 7/11/12, had an appointment at 5PM, my 2 kids and I waited in the waiting area the staff started to clean the coffee machines and the pop dispencer then someone asked me if I needed help, I said I was waiting for my car to be done and she stated, "we are closed", I told her that I was not told my car was done and that I had not even paid for it yet, she went to check and told me that when they called my name someone else came up and signed my paperwork, so they thought they were done with me. They made up new paper work for me and unlocked the window and I paid for the service. So who ever signed my paper work now has my name, address, phone number, make and model , lisence plate and vin number to my car with so much fraud and idenify thief going around this does not make me happy at all. Then when I went to get my car it was still dirty. I went back inside and asked about the car wash that they were suppost to do and was told that it was already done, I explained that my car was very dirty and was told, " well, what do you expect for a free car wash". They did offer to wash my car again but by this time I was so upset I just left.These are the reasons that I will never buy another car from Don Ayers again. I have had very poor customer service from the start and wish that I had never bought my third car from there.Sally Storey

Everyone at Don Ayres Honda was very courteous and friendly. I really liked the fact that it was a "no pressure" dealership.

From beginning to end, this was by far the most friendly and accomodating dealership we have ever dealt with. We have "less than perfect" credit, yet Ty and Jeremy did everything they could to not only get us a great deal on a new Civic at payments we could afford, but to make us feel like highly valued customers(instead of a nusiance, which is what we have felt like at other dealerships). Talking to Ty was like hanging out with a friend. He was both professional and personable and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable with our purchasing experience. We were also highly impressed with your service department, and the friendliness of the mechanics (Jay and others). We are confident we will have a long relationship with Don Ayres, and will highly recommend them to our friends and family. PS-Thanks for the free carwashes from Mike's!!

I am very pleased with my new Honda Accord Lease Purchase. Joe Parra is a very professional, helpful and knowledgable salesman. The people at Don Ayres listened and were able to take my car payment budget and make it a reality with a brand new 2012 Honda Accord...with leather interior! I was amazed at the value and can't wait to save money at the pump. Thank you Joe and all of the Don Ayres Honda staff. Jill Sample

My husband and I have purchased several cars from Don Ayers Honda in Fort Wayne, IN The customer service the second you walk in the door is top notch. They were not overbearing just trying to make a sale, the salesman Rick and manager were more focused on helping me find just the right vehicle and purchase or lease option to best meet my families needs. Shannon one of the managers went above and beyond to take care of my husband and I as returning customers at Don Ayers Honda. Kuddos to the entire team at Don Ayers.

Shawn contacted me after I submitted an internet request. He was friendly, but not pushy on the phone. When we arrived on site, he determined our goal with the purchase so he could better advise us. He was professional, knowledgeable and helped us find the vehicle we had located on line. During the test drive, he fully described the vehicle including both positive and negative aspects. He facilitated a fair trade in our current vehicle and we were able to complete the entire purchase process within 2 hours. Since this was a simple purchase of a reliable vehicle for our kids - we appreciated his professionalism and ability to streamline the process making it quick and painless. We feel the purchase was a positive experience and that we have purchased a reliable vehicle that we can feel confident having our children drive.

Jarod was very easy to work with. We came to look at 4 used cars - Jarod had all the cars parked together so we could do a side by side comparison. We test drove one and bought that day. We had been looking for a car for 7 months and spoke to many sales people and would definitely recommend Jarod and Don Ayres Honda.

My other car just lost its air conditioner and instead of paying for the equivalent of a new car for new a/c. My wife and I decided to look for another car. Ed called earlier to talk about potentially trading in one of our vehicles. At the time I wasn't interested. When I called him he made a special trip back to work to work with us. He was very helpful and down to earth.

I had a low-stress pleasant experience purchasing a used vehicle for my college-age child recently. Shawn Baney provided excellent and professional customer service. This is the second Honda I have purchased with his assistance, and will utilize his expertise again for future auto purchases, as I am definitely sold on the Honda product! The service department is excellent too, as another Honda automobile has been serviced there for the prior five years. I was able to bring the potential car I was considering into the service bay where Troy willingly took a look at the tires, discussed the wear with me, and additionally discussed recent maintenance on the particular car. The certification checklist was helpful too, and I feel confident that I have purchased a safe and reliable from Don Ayres Honda. Shawn was able to arrange additional cleaning on the car per my request, and I feel also assisted me with attaining a fair price. I would highly recommend this dealership and also talking with Shawn Baney (and any of the professionals in the Service Department too).

We found a 2004 Nissan Armada online, called and spoke to Aaron Warner. He was Fantastic! I made it clear from the begining that I was calling from out of state and would like to know as many particulars about the vehicle as possible. Aaron said he would walk out to the vehicle so he could take a look and would call me right back. Normally my experience has been that when a salesman say's he will call right back, it can be hours. Aaron called me back within 2 minutes. He walked around the outside of the car. Told me any imperfections he saw. He got inside the vehicle, told me each and every slight imperfection he saw. He offered to test drive it for me. He was so helpful and thorough. My husband and I felt very comfortable making a deposit over the phone, sight unseen because we felt so confident in the information Aaron had given us. Even being from out of state I would definitely purchase another vehicle from Aaron at Don Ayers Honda. He is by far the best salesman we have ever dealt with. Thanks Aaron.

When we outgrew our used CRV from Don Ayres, we originally looked at used Odysseys. But the New 2012s were such a good deal, including 0% financing that we we went for new. We asked for Chris Demetriades because he sold us our CRV and again he did a great job of answering questions, showing us the van and not once did I feel pressured or that I was being worked. I never got shuffled from one salemen to another or hassled to make a quick decision. Once we had the deal, John Hofmann (Business Manager) took the time to explain every piece of paper, every signature and was never pushy with all the extras (undercoating, extended warranty) like some dealerships. He simply explained what they were, gave me the price and said "it's up to you if you want them and we will go with whatever you choose". You can't ask for more than a great deal, great financing and a great experience with the people who work at the dealership. That's exactly what I got with Don Ayres.

I knew when I started looking for a vehicle what make and model I wanted. I knew the limit I was willing to spend and searched the web extensively before settling on a vehicle that I wanted to test drive. My search included a 500 mile radius, considering my husband flew from Ohio to Georgia to purchase his vehicle 3 years ago. I was willing to go the distance if the price was right! My search kept taking me to Don Ayers Honda in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I called them to confirm the vehicle was indeed still available and arrange a time for a test drive. When my husband and I arrived the vehicle was ready to go. Ed Feipel accompanied us on a test drive and answered all the questions we had. He was not pushy or abrupt, but a very pleasant gentleman who seemed to genuinely enjoy his job. The vehicle was exactly as advertised and we were thrilled. Needless to say, I drove it home. It was definitely worth the 3-1/3 hour drive from our home in Ohio to Don Ayers Honda in Fort Wayne. We saved a lot of money and received great customer service! Thanks Ed Feipel..I love my Sportage!!

I own a driver education school, and was shopping for a driver education car. I looked at Don Ayres online, and left a message on the website with my phone number. Sharon Grorud called within 20 minutes and we established a relationship immediately. My husband and I looked at an Accord, but didn't purchase the vehicle at that time. Sharon kept in contact and we did purchase an Accord when the time was right. We appreciate Sharon's low-key style, and her consistent willingness to help us in any way we wanted. We will definitely work with Sharon in the future. Mitzi and Dave Bartle

Rick Zabolotney was our sales person at Don Ayres dealership. He did a great job of making sure he could get us into the car we wanted BEFORE we made the drive. It didn't take all day either. We went on a Saturday, so he was busy when we got there, but once he got to us we were in and out with our new car qickley.

My 1st Honda was purchased in 1980, just purchased my 6th Honda, a 2012 CR-V. All have been purchased at Don Ayres and all have been totally serviced at DA right down to the windshield wiper blades and batteries. Integrity, honesty, fair pricing and knowlegable and customer service oriented sales people and service people why would you go anywhere else. My new CR-V is loaded with technology and my salesman, Shanon Hoover, spent a lot of time with me showing me how everything worked and even presetting some of the features for me. He told me to drive the car for a few days and any questions I came up with to call him and we would set a time for me to come back and he would answer and go over any questions or concerns I had. That is good customer service

I was in the market for a new/used vehicle and after searching several websites was surprised to see the selection of all makes & models at Don Ayres . My sales rep/Joe Parra was knowledgeable about both of my selections (one not a Honda)& allowed the time needed to make the right decision. Really great customer service-genuine, friendly,knowledgeable & efficient. Glad I discovered Don Ayres for my used car-looking forward to continuing this relationship.

I bought my first Honda in 1980, my recent purchase was Honda # 6. All of my Hondas have been purchased at Don Ayres and I have always had ALL my service done at Don Ayres. Not only do I feel that Hondas are excellent cars I also think that Don Ayres is an excellent dealer. The sales and finance people make you feel at home. They are attentive but not at all pushy or aggressive. The service department is great as well. They call their customers by name and are very good at explaining things in language that the average person can understand. They are through in their work and follow up with the customer after the work is done.

I had been looking online for a good used car, when I found one of interest at DonAyers.net, a dealer an hour and 1/4 from our home. The web site was very informative and with vehicle description and carfax I knew much about the vehicle prior to the need to test driver or to speak with a salesperson. Upon calling Don Ayers I was connected with Anwar. He has to be one of the greatest salespersons my wife and I have had the pleasure to deal with. He was honest, and attempted at every turn to go out of his way to help us. A vehicle body issue- he took the car to DA's body shop for a consult. For a mechanical issue with the vehicle of interest- Anwar took the vehicle to the service department. In the negotiation process he was fair and did not try the "normal" sales pressure. He was a true professional. As long as Anwar is there we would go back and trade with D.A. Honda again. P.S. I love the Element. tk

After trying to remain a loyal GM customer, one look and test drive of the new Honda CR-V was all it took to change my mind. Great package all the way around with the look and feel of a much more expensive vehicle. Looking forward to several years of some fun driving. Our salesman "Bill Fenoglio" was both efficient and helpful throughout the process and we're looking forward to working with him again in the future when shopping at Don Ayers Honda in Fort Wayne.

We had a high level experience when we purchased a late model used Honda. We were very please with Anwar and his professionalism. He was pleasant and very helpful. The web site was very helpful permitting us to make a number of decisions before we arrived at the Honda dealer. This permitted us to have a more amiable relationship with the salseman. While we like any consumer would have liked to have the car for a thousand or two less, we did not force the issue and put Anwar in a high pressure situation.

Dealership contacted me promptly by email when I made some inquiries on line. I had spoken with this same sales person, Andy, about two weeks before while at Don Ayres. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and listened and acted on what my particular purchase needs were. He was willing and able to answer all my questions and even went beyond. He was very courteous, and I felt he was definitely working with me.

Buying this new car was a great and wonderful experience for us. The salesman, Ty, explained everything, and, along with Rick, the sales manager, found us the exact car we wanted, and had it ready on time. The 'deal' we got is outstanding. I have great respect for the sales manager, Ty, the staff, business people and service staff as well as the check out ladies, and I have found all the personnel to be people of integrity, honesty, and friendliness. Once I purchase a car, I just bring it in for service and know that honesty, integrity, and concern for my personal safety while driving this new Pilot or our older Accord are parmount in the minds of all those with whom I do business. As the saying goes: "No one compares with Don Ayres." In 30 years, I have never even been in another dealer showroom. That is a blessing and a compliment to Don Ayres! And Honda vehicles are the best, in my opinion and experience.

First impression of the dealership was good. I was greeted by the service manager and because it was a busy Saturday he made sure I was attended to even though it was busy. Rick Kruger was courteous and did a great job explaining the features of the models I test drove that day. The next week I came back in to look again at the Pilot and even though Rick was not available, Ben Maggert was helpful. The dealership was low pressure when closing the sale which is IMPORTANT to me. The price quote from Don Ayers Honda was given without a hassle over the phone and was in line with the other price quotes I had received. Thanks for making this car buying experience enjoyable and I look forward to dealing with you in the future.Lyle Beach

This our fourth car purchase from Don Ares. The personnel have always been respectful and helpful, not pushy or overwhelming. We have had bad expirences elsewhere in which there were many fees and charges totaling more than $1,000. There was none of that at Don Ares. Keep up the good work so you can sell #5 to us.

I was overly surprised at how courteous, friendly, and helpful the sales staff at Don Ayres were. The facility was clean and ALL of the staff were helpful, even when I called with a brief question. I promise that when I am car shopping again in the future, I will definately shop at Don Ayres first!! The "picking" out of a car was wonderful, and surprisingly the "buying" or financing part was even easier. WOW! Yup, that sums it up!!

I bought my first Honda in 1974 from Dave Skelly. Since the first Honda I bought four other cars from Dave -- of which three were Hondas. Thought I would not find another salesman like Dave but Mark Harrison filled the bill. He was thorough and explained the new Honda I was looking at. Very satisfied with my experience. Your Service Center is another reason I keep coming back for all the work needed on my cars.

Scheduled a test drive for a pick up and was assigned salesman Shannon Hoover. Easy to talk to during the test drive, agreeable to the route on drive, we even drove to my home to see the vehicle in my own driveway! Shannon helped me look over the vehicle, noting features of the truck. At the dealership, my offer was taken to the finance manager. As I had a set price in mind, the asking price was just above it. A second trip to the finance manager came back as agreeable and I was informed I had just purchased my truck!Visiting with the finance manager, John Hoffman, he professionally and politely explained in detail the process of finalizing the sale. John was very easy to work with.While the paperwork was being signed, Shannon had my truck washed and ready for me, temporary plate and all.John Dullaghan, the General Manager, followed up the sale with a thank you, and two complimentary car washes.Also, Shannon followed up with a letter saying that if I was not 100% happy with my purchase, to contact him and he would resolve any issues. Don Ayers and the above mentioned people have been great to work with and I would recommend them if you would like a comfortable and easy vehicle buying experience.

As someone new to the area, I asked my co-workers where to take my car to get an oil change and they suggested you. After an oil change that took an hour and a half, we were informed that we needed new tires and a re-alignment. While we were grateful they noticed this and let us know, we are immensely unhappy with how long it took and will not be returning. We brought our car in the next week for a re-alignment and a procedure that we were told would take an hour, hour and a half at max, ended up taken three hours. This is absolutely ridiculous. At one point they even told us, oh it will only be another 20 minutes. A full hour later we finally left with our car. If it was going to take that long, tell us so we can make other plans! No one offered us any compensation for it taking twice as long, whether it was a free oil change or taking a few dollars off the cost of the alignment. We didn't need that, and think their service prices are very reasonable, but it would have been a customer service-ly gesture at the least. Quite a disappointment!

We purchased a 2009 CR-V from Rick Zabolotney. He was great to work with; very easy to talk to and not pushy at all. We got a fair amount for our trade and everyone at Don Ayres was patient with us during the process of us not having the title for our trade-in. Love my CR-V!! Also really appreciate the lady who we did the paperwork with. (Wish I could remember her name.) She was very pleasant and even gave our boys a snack when they were complaining of hunger. :) Thank you!

I went to the dealership intending to replace my '98 Honda Accord. After conversation with Rick Squires I was referred to Matt Thorpe, a salesperson. He asked what kind of car I was looking for and showed me a 2012 Limited Edition Honda Accord. He was knowledgable about its features, explaining that this car is only made every five years. He was willing to answer any questions I had or to find any information he had not yet learned. We test drove the Accord and then a Civic. He explained the differences in the two cars. After the second test drive he asked if I wanted to come in and continue car negotiations, which ulitmately resulted in my new car purchase. The main reason I purchased another Honda was my satisfaction with the previous one, the professional treatment I have received at the dealership over the years as various maintenances and repairs were perfomred, and the fact that Hondas last a long time. I particularly appreciated Matt's low key approach, his patience, and willingness to seek answers if he could not answer a question. He conducts himself in a professional manner and I wish him continued success in his career.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. My Salesman, Gabe Tichenor was outstanding. He stayed in there with me all the way through the whole process! I never owned a Honda before so I had lots of questions, etc. He answered them all. He patiently helped me through all my indecisive moments and ultimately helped me make the perfect choice. He even delivered my new car right to my driveway! I am confident he will continue being there for me as I begin enjoying my new "perfect" ride!!!!

I appreciated working with our salesman, Ty Odle. He explained the process and the vehicle features very well. He was professional in his dealings with my wife and me. He was concerned about matching our desires and didn't veer us to something more expensive. I was impressed also by the Honda Odyssey and all its features. The engineering inside is beyond my expectations. We hope to enjoy this vehicle for our usual ten years per vehicle and maybe even longer.

We have been in "The Honda Family" for 30 years. This time we shopped on line for several months. We stopped in at Don Ayres to see if the cars we saw on line were on the lot. They were. The price was reasonable the cars were in great condition, so we test drove two and made our decision. This is our 9th Honda. Jeff Gilmore was our salesman. He is a great salesman-not pushy, not overbearing- just quiet and laid-back and informative. Thanks, Jeff!

They went out of their way to do good business with us and to help us find what we were looking for in our price range.

Been buying personal autos for 51 years. This was my first transaction with Don Ayres Honda and salesman Shannon Hoover. Most positive auto-purchase experience ever--in every conceivable respect. Price and service. 100% total transparency. No deception, no "discret silence", not oversights on any detail. What I spec'ed for a new auto was exactly what I was offered and quoted. No pressure, not one word, to even suggest I move up to a more expensive model or package. What I paid was exactly what was quoted the first time and on every subsequnet occasion price was mentioned. No "games" or "being screwed around" whatsoever. Not a scintilla of a hint of such. Shannon Hoover and sales manager John Hoffman are real gentlemen and professionals whose word is their bond.

To whom it may concern- My wife and I came to your dealership on Feb.18,2012, with the idea of seriously considering a Honda vehicle for the first time! We were very impressed with everything we encountered, whether it was the quality of the vehicles we looked at,the pricing, the warranties, or the salesperson! Aaron Warner was our salesman he was very professional, knowledgeable, polite, courteous and most of all answered all of our questions and we had plenty of them! But most of all he made us very comfortable and eliminated any lingering doubts or concerns we had regarding a new vehicle and getting aquainted with a new dealership! My wife and I were planning on visiting another dealership after we were done at yours last Saturday, that was no longer nessecary after spending an hour or so with Aaron at your dealership he certainly closed the deal! We have never made a decision that quickly on purchasing a new vehicle we usually give it careful consideration for a few days! We walked away very impressed! We believe that we are going to be very happy with our new vehicle! Thank You! John at Myra McCullough

I have a Honda CR-V which has had routine service in my travels across the country by several dealerships in as many states. There has been NO dealership which has treated me or my car better and my wallet with greater consideration than the Don Ayres dealership here in Fort Wayne. I will be moving to a new home in Montana shortly and I would be overjoyed if I could move this dealership to Montana with me. Buying a new car is always fraught with aggravation and second thoughts. No one likes to put out the kind of money that is required for an automobile, but after checking vehicles and dealerships around the area I was happy to take a few test rides with Bill Fenoglio at Don Ayers and come to the decision to purchase my Ridgeline, (remember Montana?) from him. He was a delight to work with and the paper transfers went smoothly through the very experienced staff at Don Ayers. There is no doubt that I will have to buy another car before too much longer, and I will go to see Bill Fenoglio straight away. While one can always second guess price paid for a product, one cannot deny that the purchase and followup service to a vehicle will be handled with care and consideration at Don Ayers, that's why I will be pleased to return there again, (OK, I still don't like spending hard earned money), but the purchase is only the beginning of a relationship. This dealership cements the relationship with genuine service, excellent pricing and really great people with whom to work.

I have been coming to Don Ayres for a very long time. I have purchased several new auto from them. They have treated me with respect, which didn't happen at other places. Just because I am a woman doesn't mean I am dumb. I enjoy the freedom to buy my own auto, my husband is also capable of the same. It doesn't mean I do not appreciate his input. I just want to be myself and do what I need to do for me.'Kevin is wonderful and helpful when I bring my auto in for survice. He is honest and up front about what is needed.Rick Z. has been very helpful in finding the auto that fits me best.

We bought a 2009 Kia sportage from Don Ayres and could not be happier. Such a good deal and excellent experience that we are shopping there for another car now.

the reason for the rating on customer service is we have not used them yet. the same goes for quality of work. the rating for friendliness is they were very welcoming our overall experience was just that. as for price you don't compete it is what it is.

We recently bought a 2008 Saturn Outlook,our experience was great. I was most impressed with the fact that after we got the car home I noticed a reflector missing on the rear bumper,we called Joe our salesman and asked if we could get a new one ordered. Not only did they pay for the part but Joe came to our house (about 20 miles)and put it on the car himself to save us a trip.I highly recommend Don Ayres !!!

The quality of his knowledge of the vehicle was very impressive. He took the time to show us everything about the vehicle and anticipated my every question before I even asked. Top notch salesmanship. We will definitely be back to buy another vehicle from this fine young man. The support staff, finance and other salesman helping Brian through the process were awesome. They were very patient with him as he entered all of our answers into the computer to get the paperwork completed. Don Ayres has a great dealership and we will drive the 2 1/2 hours again to buy from him.Sincerely,Jack & Bonnie Shoaf

We were very pleased with the way we were treated at Don Ayers Honda. Our salesman, Ty Odle, was extremely knowledgable. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone consideing the purchase of a new car.

We recently purchased a new vehicle at Don Ayres Honda and Ty was the person that worked with us. The whole process was very smooth and "painless". In past experiences with car salesmen, there have been times when we felt that we were in an interrogatation room and there was extreme pressure to "buy a car". Ty was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and never put any pressure on us to purchase anything. In fact, he bent over backwards to allow us to do comparisons with other vehicles and make sure we were confident with the purchase of our new CR-V. He thoroughly explained all the features of the CR-V and answered many questions. Although the process did take some time to complete, Ty was very dilegent in moving things along to make sure we drove the new vehicle home that night. When it was time to do the paperwork, Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable and efficient with explaining and completing all the neccessary documents. He even was able to get us a better rate for financing than we expected.Ty did take extra time to do "show and tell" after everything was completed and it was past time for him to go home. All in all it was a very pleasent experience and we are very pleased and satisfied.

This was the easiest car purchase I have ever made. I knew what I was looking for before I arrived, and had been doing some online research. I found a used vehicle that fit my needs, and drove over to see it in person. The dealer was straightforward. He worked with my family and my schedule. When it was time to settle the details, he got me a great deal on my trade-in. I walked away with exactly what I wanted for the price I needed. I will most certainly call him again in the future.

I bought a 2009 Traverse and had to fill the tank to get home, not enough gas in the tank to get across town. The rear windshield wiper needed replaced and when I mentioned it, the salesman who had been great up to that point told me it would be easy for me to replace. It was not. I had to take it to a service center to have a mechanic replace it. A few months ago, I found out I had to replace the tires. Turns out they have enough tread but are cracking between the tread. It will cost me over 800.00 to replace them. I haven't owned the vehicle for a year yet! How was this missed in the inspection the dealership says they do? Very disappointed!

We bought a used conversion can from Don Ayres a few years back. At the time, it had an ABS sensor light on. When we took it to Dimension Ford, they told us that there were two sensors that could be involved but we wouldn't know which one needed to be replaced until we tried it. The estimate was $400 and if it turned out that the wrong one was replaced, we could expect another $400 to be added to the bill. We got a second opinion at Hires and were told the same thing, so we elected to drive without ABS. This last week we were at Don Ayres for a $12.95 oil change and asked them to check out an engine hesitation. This was repaired and they told us that the mechanic, Dan Thompson had noticed the ABS light. We explained what we had been previously told and they asked if we minded if Dan confirmed that. Tom called us back and told us that Dan's estimate was $50! Turns out Dan had paid to update his engine scan tool and was able to diagnose it as a lesser known sensor. Needless to say, we had it fixed and will heartily recommend Dan and Don Ayres to everyone!!!
Awesome experience

I highly recommend my sales guy Joe Parra! He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and only showed me those suvs. He also took the time to show me all the eatures each SUV had to offer as well as how to use them. All staff was very friendly and helpful. I even got a better interest rate. I highly recommend to anyone out there looking for new or used. I felt like I got a good deal and I love my new wheels!

I was very pleased with service provided by Don Ayers last week. After research, I had decided on a Civic prior to going to the dealership. They treated me with respect and did not try to sell me anything I did not need. They negotiated a fair price in my opinion and I would go back there to purchase my next vehicle, but, that shouldn't be necessary anytime soon since I bought a Honda :-) Thanks!

My wife and I were looking for a used car, and we found a nice one on the internet. After doing our own research we were already sold on the vehicle, we just needed to take it for a test drive and have our mechanic check it over. Upon arrival at the dealership, we meet Joe Parra who was a nice guy. Not knowing we fully intended to purchase the vehicle once everything checked out ok, Joe went into the stereotypical used car salesman mode. By that I mean he was pushy and tried to rush us into a decision, even trying to get us to sign papers and put a down payment on the vehicle our first day on the lot. That coupled with company policies, that wouldn't allow the vehicle to leave the lot without a salesperson made it diffcult for us to make a true assessment of the vehicle. After reluctantly deciding to purchase the vehicle, we entered the financial office a few days later. When I asked the loan officer for a minute to think, he rudely replied, "You don't think in this office, when you come in here you are ready to sign, you should do your thinking out there on the floor." The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. As someone who interacts with the public on a daily basis my wife was appalled that they would speak to a potential paying customer in such a manner. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase a vehicle, NOT to use the Lima Road branch of Don Ayres. Review by Michael Corley

As far as frienliness goes, I rated it a 4 because the folks we dealt with did stay past closing time to close the deal. However, it was the deal that tarnishes the entire experience and why I could NOT recommend this dealership. We recently purchased a 2003 Honda Element for our kids who just got their licenses. When we drove the car that night, I was concerned about a rattle (banging/knocking) noise coming from underneath the car in the rear. On the drive home (an approximate 2.5 hour drive) I became more concerned about the car because the steering wheel shimied when going a around a curve to the right (bank turn) at highway speeds (over 45 mph) that seemed to be coming from the left front wheel. After talking with my wife at the dealership after driving the car, she expressed her concern to the sales people and highlighted the fact that we need to drive this thing over 2 hours home and asked - "is this car safe?" The sales person and manager both expressed that absolutely the car was safe, it would not be on our lot if it was not. Because my concerns increased after driving it home, we took it to another Honda dealership to get it looked at. Based on the professional judgement of the Honda dealership we took it to and the issues they found during the inspection, this car was NOT safe!Specifically, the left front strut was broken (shimie in wheel) so both front struts were replaced and the sway bar/stabilizer bar in the back was broken (reason for noise I heard) and had to be replaced. It is fortunate that there wasn't an accident with someone getting hurt because of these problems. I take it very seriously when the safety of my children are jeopardized and potentially the safety of other unsuspecting consumers, which is why I chose to submit this review.It cost us over $1000 for required repairs to this supposedly safe car in order to make it safe for our kids to drive. Consequently, I rated the price as "very bad" because of the money I immediately had to put into the car to make it safe. In my opinion, these problems should have been identified by the Don Ayers dealership and fixed before the car was offered for sale. When discussing these problems with the technicicans at the Honda dealership we took it to, it was apparent to me that finding these problems was not rocket science. Lastly, the overall experience gets a "very bad" rating as well because I could NEVER recommend a dealership that fails to identify problems on a vehicle, which could result in selling an unsafe car to the unsuspecting consumer. Also, we have contacted folks at Don Ayers and they apparently are unwilling to accept any responsibility for this as I have yet to hear anything back from them.A very dissatisfied customer from Michigan.

OK - so I have bought the car and I'm waiting to get it to have some fun. They have to fix a couple things. I have not bought a car from a dealership for many years because they overprice price the cars and the hassle with salesman.SO first, trying as hard as I could, I could not find anywhere on the internet a cheaper price for the car. Now - it was an "Internet special" (not all their cars are). I tried, couldn't find anything. SO - GOOD PRICES - some of the best.Second, there was no hassle! No one tried to sell me something else, the "extras" (i.e. financing, warranty, etc.) were just presented with no pressure to buy. I'll keep you posted if something goes wrong.

When I walked in to Don Ayres I was Greeted By Jeff we did not have an appointment but asked about a Jeep we had seen on-line Jeff knew what Jeep we were asking about just by price make and mileage. WOW!!!! The car was Great very clean, low mileage and a awesome price. Jeff made us feel very comfortable and not pressured at all. The service was fantastic I never thought that buying a car would be so easy. Jami helped us with the financing she was very knowledgeable and made it easy to understand. Earlier in the day we had visited a competitor with an appointment they were unprepared and didn't want to be honest about price and very dirty vehicles! I Will Recommend Don Ayers To Everybody I Know!!! AWESOME Guest Service! Thank You Jeff and Jami for all your hard work and kindness!!!! Amanda

I had to have my car towed into the dealership. I had a large puddle of fluid under the car in the garage and the car was heating up. I arrived first thing in the morning and was told they would have to work me in so I was given no indication of if/when I would know if it could be fixed on that day or if I needed to rent a car so I could get to work and start my day. I also had work done on my car over a year ago regarding an oil leak and told them it was not fixed (still leaking)and on every occasion I have had it in since I have told them it still leaked. When Jeremy came out to tell what they had thought might be the problem, he also proceeded to tell me the oil leak could cost up to $750.00 after they got it apart and took a look at the gaskets. 1. He wouldn't look me in the eye when I was questioning him about "how much would it have been if they would have looked at it when I first stated the leak was still there?" 2. He just stopped talking about it like it wasn't important. I chose to not have that fixed at this time (I am planning on looking around and getting other estimates cuz I really want it fixed this time) I also told him I was in a month earlier because my engine came on and it was put on the computer and I was told it was a false alarm and it was reset. It was very frustrating to then a month later have to have my car towed in for a major problem. Was it misread? I feel like it was a warning sign that was ignored. All around frustrating experience...........

Never bought a vehicle from a dealership as nice as this one. On top of great customer service at the point of sale, they service it for WAY cheaper than what I could do myself. Overall, I would recommend to Don Ayres Honda to anyone that wanted to buy a great new or used car.

I was shopping for a used car so my daughter suggested we look at Honda.We went to Don Ayres Honda dealership. We were met by one of the salesman named Jarod Burgess. He introduced himself and ask what i was looking for. I explained and he showed me some of the cars and what was some of the options available. He was really patient with me through out the whole process. I ended up buying a car from them and am very happy with it.

I would highly recommend anyone interested in buying a car to meet with Joe Parra from Don Ayers Honda. He is informative and is genuinely concerned with finding the right car for the customer. He could have pushed us towards a more expensive option on multiple occassions but did not do so. Rather he explained the benefits and drawbacks of each option and was very patient. We went to five dealerships after doing internet research and Joe was by far the best salesperson we met with.

It was a great experience working with Mark again. He sold me my 2010 Accord 2 years ago and now I wanted to make a change to the CRV, but I still had 15 months on the current lease. I told him my limit for a new lease payment and the options I wanted on a CRV. Then he and the dealership went to work to make it happen. Got me out of the old lease and into a new one with no money down and in my budget. I am very happy.

We have always purchased our Hondas at Don Ayres. The main reason is not only are Hondas nice cars, but because of the truly outstanding service and body shop. We never feel that we are getting ripped off. When we do have something that needs to get repaired,it is always done right the first time! The sevice and body shop managers Doug Settle and Kevin Cox are fantastic and very professional. The service advisors Jay, Tom, and all the others are outstanding. We will continue to purchase Hondas nostly because of the Don Ayres dealership.

I would strongly recomend this dealer to anyone. I say this because my previous buying experience from Victory Honda was very bad and so I know what its like to get a bad deal and get extremely pressured to buy a car and Jimmy Adams was the sales rep who sold me the car and I felt no pressure at all. Plus everything was laid out and there was no hidden costs or things about the buy that I didn't know. So if you want to to buy a car and get freat customer service I would go to Don Ayres Honda.

I found the car online for the best price for that year, make, and model for the 07 Maxima I purchased. I have been searching for over 3 months for a good deal on this car. The salesman was very professional and I will highly reccommend my family and friends to Aaron Warner and his business partners. The experience was great and am looking forward to buying my next vehicles from him in the future! I also got a great deal on a 5 year 60,000 mile warranty! I would have been stupid for turning it down! Thanks for experience and I love the car!

We were hesitant to change our van purchasing from Chrysler to Honda but we wanted a van of very good quality. We had checked at other Honda dealers and were impressed by the vehicles but were not sure we wanted to make the change. Upon entering Don Ayres Honda we were welcomed as family. Anwar worked very hard to help us purchase our new van in our payment limits. While waiting to see on the dealings of buying the van, Anwar brought us beverages and was genuinely interested in our lives. He carried on a nice conversation with us, as a friend and not as a salesman trying to earn our business. After we were approved for our purchase, Anwar gave us a tour of the whole facility, the finance department, the service department, etc. He introduced us to everyone and actually knew all of their names. We would definitely recommend Don Ayres Honda to anyone who would ask and would definitely recommend that they deal with Anwar. He helped make the experience of buying our van a great one.

Rick was exceptionally patient with me because of my family circumstances. He rescheduled meetings, considered more than one trade-in possibility, and enhanced the closing process. During the price negotiations, which is my least favorite portion of buying a car, Rick did NOT play the usual "games." We quickly arrived at just price. Because he has sold me other vehicles at Don Ayres Honda, Rick was wise enough to treat me as a friend rather than an "up." Both the Honda Civic that I bought and the service group really sold me the car. But Rick Kruger made the process of acquiring ownership a real pleasure. If Rick is with Don Ayres when I need my next vehicle, I will purchase it through him. Also, I will recommend him to my friends.

Doug Settle has always done an excellent job with customer service. He was recommended by a friend when we bought our first Honda.On a trip a few years back, our car broke down after we made a stop. Doug was able to talk me through the process to get the car into gear (brake switch). He also helped me to locate the nearest Honda dealer to get the problem fixed.My wife is almost always the one to take the vehichle in for service. She is treated with respect by all of the service dept. staff. That doesn't happen at all service/repair shops. Keep up the great work!

Ed and Rick always do what is best for the client. They are willing to work around our crazy schedules to take care of us. Ed has left a lasting impression on me since we first met. It was past closing and he was walking to his car to go home but stopped and started to talk to me about a few of the cars I was interested in. Instead of walking by and going home he took it upon himself to use his time not work time and discuss some different options. Ed and Rick have helped us out twice now and we will be back again.

Shawn Baney met us at the door of Don Ayres Honda, when we arrived to learn about the Honda CR-V. He was very thorough in showing us everything about the car and how it worked. During our second visit, we were able to drive a car, and Shawn was, again, very helpful. He was able to anticipate many of our questions, and he answered all very patiently. This was one of the best experiences we have had when working with a car salesman. We recommend him highly.We also worked with Shannon Heitkamp and Jeremy Todd while in the process of purchasing our new car. Both were very competent and helped make the purchase of our car a good experience.

I couldn't have asked for a better Honda sales person than Andy Hitzemann. He was very professional and quite pleasant to work with as I was looking for a vehicle.

Never purchased a new Honda before. While I have purchased new cars in the past, it's never a pleasant experience. But the folks at Don Ayres made it the best. I want to thank the sales man Ben Maggert for his help. He was not pushy and explained everything. I fact, I contacted 3 other Honda dealers in central Indiana by filling out web pages with my contact info. Not 1 of them tried to contact me for at least a week and a half. But, when I filled out the same info for Don Ayres, Ben was on the other end of my cell in 10 minutes! Love the new Red CRZ that I have! Thanks guys! J. Harvey

I traded in a '99 Chrysler Sebring for an '07 Chevy Cobalt. Don Ayres gave me a great deal for my trade and were very generous on their "We Owe" items before I signed to make the purchase. They did want me to be as satisfied as possible both with the trade amount and with the condition of the Chevy. Went back a week later to have the Chevy serviced according to the "We Owe" list. Before determining the items for that sheet, I neglected to notice the two FOB's for the Chevy did not work; that and a headlight re-aiming were the only tabs I had to pick up on that maintenance visit. Otherwise, got a tire imbalance fixed with four whole new tires as well as new wiper blade, all on their tab. John was a nice guy to us. I've been very happy with the vehicle ever since.

Would definitely recommend this dealer - they were also very competitively priced as well in the used car dept.

Don Ayers service center has the greatest employees. I have never once ever had any problems with them and their service. Everyone is so nice and the oil change there is probably the cheapest that I have ever heard of. I would feel comfortable letting my wife go there alone for something and know she isn't going to be treated unfairly, to me that is important.

During a routine service visit I was given the opportunity of a FREE check of my 2000 Honda CRV systems. The resulting inspection showed that the front brake pads were in need of replacement, the power steering fluid needed flushing, and the engine air cleaner needed replacement.Since I had enough time available, I had all of the needed work performed while I went to lunch without the need of an additional trip to the dealer. This saved me time and insured the continuing reliability of my wife's vehicle without an additional appointment and subsequent trip to the garage.I have purchased two new vehicles from Don Ayres Honda and have them both serviced at the dealership. The treatment I have received as a buyer and in service visits is superb and I recommend this dealership to others.

This is the first time I have been disappointed. I came in for an oil change. Immediately it was suggested I should have a 45000 mile check up. I asked what that cost..$429. I said that would have to wait until I planned ahead...next time. Had to explain for the third time (3 oil changes now) that we do not have the tires rotated because we purchased them elsewhere. Can this not be noted on our service record so they are not accidentally rotated at two different places? Other things are noted on the print outs. I asked for the car to be washed and was told they would do that. After the oil change, Chuck came in to tell me I needed the cabin filter replaced ($69.95) and the rear differential needed service ($44.95). Seemed to be that there was a lot of "additionals" going on all around me in the waiting area. I went ahead and had the rear differential serviced in addition to the oil change. After a lengthy wait, I walked out to my car to find that the oil level read out on the car had not been reset and the car had not been washed. I came back in to have someone set my oil level at 100%...I always watch that as well as the mileage on my CRV. I said nothing about not washing the vehicle because of the length of time I had been there. My husband and I have never taken our CRV anywhere but Don Ayres Honda. We change our oil every 3000 miles and have everything done there except the purchase of new tires. Hopefully this was just a calamity of happenings. A "heads up" when we are in there that there is a big expense to plan for in the next 3000 miles would be more than welcome. We like to pay cash for things! And hopefully time will be taken to reset the oil meter and wash the vehicle when asked instead of pushing through...after being there for over an hour and 20 minutes.

Most times the service is very good but once in a while there is a problem, last service was for oil change, rotate tires and new air filter. After one and a half hours I deceided to see if I could find any answers for the delay. I was told that time was lost when the air cleaner did not show up for the replacement. It would seem to me that the customer should not have to find out why to delay !! Most times I am very happy with the time of the service.$12.95 for an oil change is a great price, but $17.00 for tire is not a good price and the air filter was unreal.Vern Frisby

I have gone to Don Ayres for service ever since I purchased my vehicle from last year. They are always very accommodating even when I haven't scheduled an appointment. The people are friendly and always remember me from my last visit. The prices are also a reason I keep coming back, very fair.

Aaron made my car buying experience a pleasant one. With having had a horrible experience a few years back at one of the Fort Wayne dealers, I was a cautious going onto the Don Ayes lot. He was great at answering my questions. The car having two issues that needed fixed, I was able to get into service in a few days to get the problems taken car of.

I think that the standard service time charged is too high. I feel that in most cases my service is completed in a shorter amount of time. Because of the shorter service time I feel that in general, myself and other customers pay too much for their service. Overall I am satisfied with the friendly and helpful staff in the Honda service department. I would like to share that as a female, the service department treats me with respect and listens to my service needs and helps get to the bottom of an issue with my 2001 Accord. However, it rarely needs more than routine milestone check ups & has over 207,000 miles. I LOVE MY HONDA!

We went to Don Ayres Honda to check out the Fit, but thanks to the time & effort we received from Andy we purchased a 2009 Element. We were able to communicate by internet & his responses to my questions were very timely & thorough. Everyone was very professional & there was no high pressure to buy at anytime during the process.

always have an opening (oil change) whenever i call within a reasonalble amount of time. service is superb and they keep me updated on any upcoming repairs i will be needing. friendly and courteous. did not pressure me to purchase from them. at one time (39000) i was going to have the 400000 mile service done and was told to hold off until i atleast reached the 40,000 mark. why spend the money now. the service was NOT about how much money they were going to make, it was how much i would save.great team.

I purcahsed a 2008 Mustang GT on Friday October 21st 2011.As I had stated during the process of buying the above auto..."People are not defined by their problems, they are defined by how they handle them."At the closing sale of the auto I ran into an issue. Through a series of events, Anwar and Bill worked through the problem and professionally resolved it. As a result, I purchased the auto from Don Ayers Honda used car lot.

Went to Anwar at Don Ayres. My parents had bought a car from him and told me it was the best experience they'd ever had buying a car. Anwar got me financed, got me great money for my trade, and got me a great deal on my used Pilot Touring edition. The finance guy offered the extended warranty and the paint protection package, to which I declined, and that was it. They did not try to pressure me into anything, and they were very respectful of my time. I bet I will have a hard time beating the experience Anwar and Don Ayres showed me!

The Sales person had a good knowledge about the cars he provided me complete details about the car and its different grades, he answered all of my questions and it was very helpful for me to take a decision because I was looking for a used car but I switched my mind to new one. The processing time of Don Ayres was very good and speedy.

The dealership was very timely in getting my car scheduled and worked on. The drop off area is inside, out of the weather, the waiting area was clean, with the option of TV viewing, internet with work space and comfortable chairs for reading. They had a variety of magazines to choice from if you didn't have your own reading material and they also had a child size table and chairs for small kids. The work was done on time and the cost was reasonable. I have been dealing with this dealership since 1991 and would highly recommend it to anyone.

I've purchased many new cars over the years. I must say that this was one of my more enjoyable experiences. I had visited this dealer earlier to explore the possibility of purchasing a new van. They didn't have what I was looking for, but Andy followed up a couple of times to insure that they came up with a car that I would be happy with. Andy and the rest of the staff were very straight forward and friendly. No under the counter agenda at any time. Most people hate dealing for a new car because of the condescending way "car people" treat them. I've experienced that dreadful experience many times. I never felt that negative aura at this car dealer. Many people came by and thanked me for my business. The price was fair and the experience of purchasing my new Honda Odyssey was excellent. Doug

I was in the market for a certified used Odyssy and was looking online when I was contacted by Sharon. She explained what inventory they had and when none of them met our criteria she stated she would continue to look for us to meet exactly what we wanted. After being very patient with me and continuing to stay in touch and a few test drives I finally found something I liked. After a few concerns with the vehicle were taken care of she and Bill (the used car manager)made the experience of buying the van an easy one. Sharon stuck with what she said she was going to do and for that I appreciated it. If the dealership and its employees keep with making me and other customers happy it should be a long relationship. Thanks John Evans

Very happy with my sales man, Shannon Hoover, who was very helpful and friedly. He was never too pushy and allowed me to take my time in the buying decision. Once I got to the finance portion, things went down hill. The finace guy was pushy, rude, and arrogant. He was so appalled that I was not willing to purchase gap insurance and/or a warranty. I wish I could remember his name so that I could file a formal complaint with the owners.

Went in as a "walk-in" for an oil change. Service guys were very accommodating, although being a Saturday they said 60-90 minute wait. Decided to "pass time" looking at new cars. Bill Fenoglio was NOT pushy and very knowledgeable and professional. Unbeknownst to him, we had been to the local Subaru and Toyota dealer...and were NOT impressed by their sales tactics! He listened to what we wanted/needed for our lifestyle. Again, the "no pressure" atmosphere was refreshing and we really appreciated it. With no regrets, bought a 2012 CIVIC LX. LOVE IT! Jeremy, the finance guy, was GREAT to deal with also! I would honestly recommend this dealership on our service experience alone...but now my experience on the (new) sales side has been, dare I say it, a pleasurable one!

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 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.

We went in for an oil change on our Element. We've always been happy with their price/service. First, we DID NOT have an appointment and they were VERY nice/professional...said it would be a 60-90 minute wait...but we had time, so okay. To "pass time" we took a look at the new cars. Bill and my fiancee were shooting the breeze, while I checked out new 2012 Civic LX. I was asking Bill lots of questions and he was quite informative. By now, my fiancee was liking this car. What we REALLY appreciated was the "no pressure" approach of Bill. Unbeknownst to him, we had been checking out the Corolla, the Elantra, and many others. So we took a test drive. I liked it. It's quiet, the gas mileage is great, and it's a HONDA. What sealed the deal was the 0.9% financing. THANKS Bill for your professionalism, knowledge, and MOST of all, not the "IN YER FACE" approach! It was an enjoyable experience. THANK-YOU!

My mechanic informed me it was time to trade for a better, newer vehicle. This is not something I had done since my husband passed away last fall, so I was concerned about being treated in a fair manner, having heard horror stories about how women car shoppers might be treated. After visiting several other dealers in Fort Wayne I happened to drive by and turn in to Don Ayres Honda while on my way to a different dealership. I am so happy that I did! Aaron immediately approached me, and was very helpful and honest in helping me pick out my 2009 Honda CR-V. He did not waste my time or try to manipulate me, which several other dealers had during previous car shopping trips. I enjoyed working with him so much that I inquired about another, older, used SUV for my son. There were several on the lot, and Aaron was able to help me narrow down the choices with helpful, and accurate information about each. Later that week we arranged to take my son's choice to our mechanic, and Aaron took time out of a busy Saturday to do this for us. The vehicle checked out, so Aaron made 2 sales with us, my used (dealer certified) CR-V, and my son's used (as is) Chevy Tracker. Prior to our purchases, we had done research for both vehicles at Edmunds, Consumer Reports, and KBB, and knew they were priced accurately. Working, going to college and doing major remodeling on my home makes my time very short and valuable; Aaron did not waste a minute of it! The rest of the staff was also very friendly, yet helpful and efficient as we concluded the 2 sales. I have and will continue to recommend Don Ayres Honda, and their excellent employee, Aaron Warner, to anyone who asks.

The salesperson I had dealt with for many years died in the past year. I have known the business manager, Rick Squires, for many years also. When I called about a new vehicle, Rick introduced me to Bill as my new contact at Ayres. Bill was excellent. He spent a good deal of time with me going over a new Odyssey. I made the decision to buy one. Rick was very helpful in finding a color I wanted. The price was very good and the dealership gave me top dollar for my trade-in. When I picked up the car, it was ready and in tip top condition. Financing was handled very professionally. Bill spent nearly an hour and a half going over the car before I left the dealership. This is the probably the ninth car purchased through Don Ayres. And once again, an excellent experience. Best ever place and people to get a car.

Be aware if you are buying a new car and trade in the old one. They will bring the new price down as well as cut down the trade in value to half. I had bad previous experience. Before you trade in check the market value of your old car.

This was my first experience with your company. Previously, my car was being serviced at Kelley and I was no longer happy with their service. I believe that they were inflating their prices. They wanted to charge me $100 more than what you charged me to change the gearshift lightbulb. Kevin was very attentive and so that everything was done as I asked. He consulted with me on additional service that needed to be completed. Overall, a very positive experience. Thank you.

Very enjoyable experience. We went in just to test drive a 2dr Civic and left purchasing a 2dr Accord. There weren't any Civics on the lot and we noticed that the price on the 2dr Accords were reasonable. Had Aaron not come out to talk to us we may not have stayed and test drove it. He was extremely knowledgeable and his background in GM product combined with everything he has learned and experienced while working at Don Ayers Honda has made him a great salesman. Again a good experience and we would recommend this dealership to people we know.

I was amazed that servicing my vehicle was affordable at a Honda Dealership. So often, you hear that the "worst" place to take a vehicle is to the dealership. I pushed past the norm, and took my Honda Pilot, purchased from Don Ayre's, to the dealership for regularly scheduled maintenance, and it was a great experience. My appointment was quick, the workers were very nice to work with, and I will be bringing it back for all of my regular maintenance needs. GREAT JOB!!!

The 100 month battery in my Honda Odyssey died after 36 months. The Odyssey could not be started even after I charged the battery overnight. I removed the battery and brought it to Don Ayres Honda. To get credit for the months remaining on my battery Ayres could have forced me to have my Odyssey towed to the dealership. Instead they let me have a new battery (with exchange) at the appropriately discounted price.I appreciate the Service and Parts Department people working together to solve this problem for me without making me jump through hoops.This is why I own two Hondas, and why Don Ayres handles almost of my parts and service work.

The overall experience throughout the entire process was great. I have always had my guard up when entering a car dealership, this did not apply here. Everyone was very friendly and absolutely no pressure to buy a vehicle. Would recommend this dealership to anyone, you won't be disappointed. Will be using them again in the future.

My wife and I decided to trade in our 2003 Honda CRV for a brand new 2012 Honda Civic EX sedan. We initially visited the dealership on 8/2 to test drive a 2011 Honda Civic LX Honda certified used vehicle. Our salesman Jarod Burgess was exceedingly nice and professional. We actually were not all that impressed with the vehicle, however. Jarod was very helpful and said we should test drive the 2012 Honda Civic. We decided to leave for the day, but on 8/4 we came back to test drive the car that we ultimately bought. It is a great car. Jarod showed us all the features of the car and was very helpful before, during, and after the test drive. When it came down to negotiating on a price, they really did not discount the price of the car (it was the only EX on the lot) and after some negotiating they gave us a reasonable trade-in on our CRV. During this whole process of negotiating Jarod and the sales manager were very professional with no real pressure. I highly recommend Jarod Burgess for the purchase of your next car at Don Ayres.

Salesperson Jarod Burgess was personable and well informed on all of the vehicles we looked at. He was interested in OUR needs and represented DAH very professionally. We were impressed also with Carlos ? and Jami ? Typically a Bus Mgr. is a "matter of fact-get the business done" kind of person. Jami was likewise personable and made us feel very special in this process. We LOVED our experience at DAH and will definitely recommend them to our friends and WILL return for our next purchase. Thanks Jarod,Jami, Carlos & DAH!

Don Ayres Honda is an excellent car dealership. They have a GREAT selection of new and used vehicles. Joe Parra was our salesman. He is VERY friendly and listened to our desires for a used vehicle. He is very patient and took the time to listen to all of our questions. We had come to the dealer, after first visiting their website, to test drive a specific vehicle, but decided it wasn't what we expected. We asked for a couple of different options and Joe delivered. We were able to purchase the vehicle of my wife's dreams at a VERY resonable price. We had been pre-qualified by our bank before going to Don Ayres. After we agreed on a price, Joe made the suggestion that Don Ayres may be able to beat the finance rate we had received from our bank. Not only could they be it... they blew it away! With the money the lower interest saved us, we were even able to purchase an extra 5year, 50,000 mile warranty. WOW! What a deal. I have been telling everyone I can about our experience at Don Ayres. Our visit to Don Ayres was the Best experience my family has ever had while purchasing any of the 10 vehicles we have purchased from a dealer. A BIG thank you again to Don Ayres and especially Joe Parra. We will definitely see you again in a few years when our oldest son starts driving(GULP)... :)

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 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.

Everyone at Don Ayres was very pleasant and wonderful to deal with. Jared Heiniger, whom I dealt with the most, was very knowledgeable and took care of all of our concerns. Best of all, nobody pressured me into buying anything, which is most important to me when I'm spending my money on big ticket items. There was no bragging about the company and there were no fibs and exaggerations to wade through; every bit of info was low key and factual, and that means the most to me when purchasing a vehicle.Ayres answered all of our questions, took care of all of our concerns, and Ayres even addressed a somewhat costly concern after we had driven the car off the lot and found an issue that should have been addressed in their own certification process. Ayres will make things right with the customer and Ayres will back up their claims of truly certified vehicles.We are truly happy with our purchase of an Ayres Certified Used Vehicle and the employees of Don Ayres Honda, particularly Jared Heiniger, made our purchase a truly wonderful experience.

Whenever I call to schedule service they always make it a friendly, easy experience. I love the fact that I can drop off my car in the morning and take the shuttle to work. Then they pick me up when the car is ready. 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!

I called Don Ayres on Saturday July 30, 2011 and talked to Sharon Grorud about the car I was looking for. After discussing what I wanted we were not sure they had that car in their inventory. She told me she would do some checking and would give me a call back. She went out to the car lot and physically looked at all Accords in stock. She came across a Honda Accord SE that was not on her inventory sheet, but it was what I was looking for. After some checking she found they had just received the car that morning and it was available. She called me with the information and I drove into the dealership. I took the car for a test drive and after a little negotiation I made my purchase. This was a very simple process and Sharon did a great job finding me the car I was looking for.

The men in the service department at Don Ayres Honda in Ft. Wayne, Indiana are so professional and friendly that it is actaully difficult to think about leaving this dealership to buy a different type of car. (I have 223,000 miles on my Honda Van that I bought new at this dealership 11 years ago - ALL of my service has been here).

Thanks alot for everything, I will most likely be back for my next car purchase

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH RICK AS A GOOD SALESMAN. HE KNEW HIS STUFF ABOUT THE CAR AND THE DEAL WE MADE. THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T LOOK AT WAS THE ENGINE, BUT BEING A WOMAN, MAYBE HE THOUGHT I WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED IN THAT PART OF THE CAR. ALSO, I THOUGHT JEREMY WAS EXCELLENT WITH HIS EXPLANATION OF WHAT I WAS SIGNING AND WHAT HE OFFERED. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH OF THESE SUPER GUYS TO ANYONE WHO WANTED A NEW CAR.

We just recently leased the 4th Honda in our family in the last six years. Our experiences with Don Ayres Honda from just looking, to sales, service and even helping us after a significant auto accident, have all been excellent. Prior to leasing our new Accord, we didn't even discuss whether we would look anywhere else. We are a Honda family!

Our overall experience was very good to great. My wife and I visited every dealership in Fort Wayne. Our first stop was at Don Ayers. We knew what we wanted to spend and were looking to upgrade my truck. We saw the ridgeline model but thought were a little over our price range. So after looking all day and having another salesman at Glenbrook Dodge not interested in saling a vehicle we went back to Don Ayers. We looked at some trucks when Brandon came out. He gave us some prices then we decided to take a closer look at the ridgeline. We test drove one of them. We then test drove a blue one and it was the same as the first. We went inside and Brandon worked up the numbers and was off for us by $500. Instead of argueing the point Brandon took the numbers back to his boss and said that would work.It was low pressure. We had no idea that they would finalize everything that evening as it was close to closing time. Everything was done that night and we went home in a Honda Ridgeline.

I feel very comfortable at Don Ayres when I have service done. I am very confident in their ability. I am always treated with utmost courtesy. The next time I have service though, I will be more scrutinizing about what is done in the package. For instance, I have new tires and get them rotated for free at Tire Barn after I have my oil changed at Don Ayres. I did not need to pay for Don Ayres to rotate my tires. I think it should be taken out of the package since every tire place rotates for free. I could even get my brakes inspected for free at the place I got the brakes. I would suggest that the package be a la carte and have the person check off a list.

Both my husband, Mark Ebbinghouse and myself, Shannon Ebbinghouse are very pleased with the purchasing experience we received at Don Ayres with salesman Jarod Burgess.We were honest w/Jarod and stated in the beginning we knew what we wanted to purchase and had a couple other dealerships we wanted to visit as well to compare vehicles to the one we liked at Don Ayres. Jarod was very understaning and did not pressure us in any way with our decisiong making. After meeting Jarod and asking him a "million" questions he was patient with us and answered every question and wished us well before we went to the other dealers. After browsing other dealerships and meeting their respective salesmen we realized we would be most satisfied with making our puchase at Don Ayres. So, we returned to D.A. & completed our purchase with Jarod. We did not purchase a "new" vehicle but it even though it was used it was very "new" to us and we appreciated the fact the Jarod was just as professional with us as he would have been with a customer who did purchase a new vehicle.We will definitely considered Don Ayers as our first choice when the times comes for us to purchase another vehile in the future. Thank you,Mark & Shannon Ebbinghouse

I have never had a good experience buying a new vehicle. This is no different. I couldn't even get a free bottle of touch up paint. I felt insulted for what they offeredme for my used car. How can they be so different from Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book?The negotiating game sucks. The salesman, Jarod Burgess, was great however. We started out looking for a used CRV and instead decided to look at new. Lucky for us he could cross sell to the new car side. We also looked at the Santa Fe Hyundai and for the money probably should have considered it. They have a much better warranty and roadside assistance program but my wife really wanted a CRV.

Great team. I didn't feel I was being nickled and dimed with the negotiation process. I felt I received the best possible price given the auto I purchased. Excellent salesperson and manager. Easy to work with without any undue pressure. Would highly recommend working with these two. Because of this experience, this purchase was the second purchase with this team within a 6 week period of time. The first purchase was obviously impressive enough to warrant working with them for the second.

I have been buying cars for over 40 years and I would say this was one of our best experiences. Our salesman (Aaron) was courteous, knowledgeable, and very personable. Most of all, he took the time to LISTEN to what we wanted to do and worked to achieve it. The same can be said for the Sales Manager and the very pleasant Finance Manager. We felt like valued customers and not just a sale. It was obvious that everyone we had contact with was focused on making us feel satisfied. We came back the next day to return the title of our trade-in. Aaron met us at the door and took the time to take the vehicle to the shop to adjust a door lock setting. 5 STAR service. We winced a little at the sticker price of the vehicle when we started but we definitely got our money's worth. A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FUN STAFF.We would highly recommend Don Ayres Honda.

We have been going to Don Ayres for years. Mainly service, but recently purchased a 2010 Accord. Our 5th Honda. We trust your service department. They explain what they are doing and do only what is needed. When we drive out of your lot...we know is was done correctly and that is 1 less thing to worry about!

I had my 20 year old daughter take my car in for an oil change and she said the gentleman she dealt with was very short with her and when he stated the problem might be a leak in the oil pan she told him I had just had that fixed and he said "When?" Well she wasn't sure of the date but I have always had my service done at Don Ayers so why did he not go look it up on the computer? She said he was unhappy with her the minute she stopped in without an appt. and made her feel she was not welcome there. I told her next time to find Doug or Jay since I have been coming there since I purchased my first Honda in 1988. I will be sure and bring in my car myself next time in order to make sure that I get my questions answered without an attitude. I thought it would be ok for my daughter to bring it in since it was just an oil change, but I guessed wrong!

Had an appointment for service and tire rotation and was told that the power steering fluid smelled burnt and did I want the system cleaned and fluid replaced. I asked when this was supposed to be done and was told around 50 thousand miles and my Civic had 88 thousand miles on it. So my bill was $80 more that I expected.Also I change oil every three thousand miles and ask the guys to put that on the reminder sticker but the last three time that has not happened.The good news is that I like this dealership very much !!Vern Frisby

We own two Honda automobiles and the service department at Don Ayres is the textbook example of outstanding customer service. All the service people there are very friendly and helpful. I am especially pleased with the service adviser Doug Settle, however they are all excellent. Just as important is that their work is first-rate. They have always correctly diagnosed and fixed problems the first time. I never feel they are trying to rip me off. In fact sometimes they will bring to my attention a problem that does not need to be repaired immediately, but rather should just be monitored. In other words they don't recommend to get something fixed right away unless it is absolutely necessary. We could not be any more happier with the service department and would recommend them to anyone. We will keep buying Hondas and getting them serviced at Don Ayres.

My husband and I have owned Hondas since 1981 and Don Ayres Honda has been our dealer and service provider. We've always received excellent service. I have worked with and known Doug Settle for a long time and he has always made sure we are treated like we are his best and only customers. He is such a positive asset as Service Manager of Don Ayres Honda. I have also worked with Jay and he also has treated us well and makes sure we are aware of the cost of maintenance (we've really never had any major repairs with our Hondas). The newer service men are being trained as good customer service reps.

I recently bought our family's 9th Honda from Don Ayres. Besides the Honda quality, I come back due to Doug Settle's service area. We have been having our Hondas serviced by them for close to 20 years. The work is done right the first time, by the time requested, and at a reasonable price. Any questions, they call me and still get it done on time. At times, I feel it it is like the show Cheers, Doug and the staff great me by name and I know (and trust)them.

I did not answer several of the questions because I wanted to rate both my salesman, Rick Z. and the sales manager, Bill and the finance lady, Jami on duty at the time of signing paperwork 7-9-11. Rick was fantastic. Rick tried to get neccessary things taken care of before my complete purchase transaction. He is still wanting to assist in issues that were addressed at the time of deposit and purchase that I feel was just "iced" over since I'm a woman and to get me out the door.While in Jami's office signing paperwork she was rude and very impersonable. I had the feeling that she was ticked off because I was approved elsewhere on my own for a much lower interest rate than she offered Rick to present to me. That is my right to "shop" elsewhere for financing. When completing signing paperwork, I went into the showroom and looked for Rick, whom was at the sales managers desk. Bill was reprimanding Rick for promises made that should have not been promised. Bill stated that he was not going to put tires on the vehicle that he was already losing money on the deal and he might not even close the deal even though it was promised by the sales manager on 7-9-11, if that's what it took to close the deal, I heard that myself. I felt sorry for Rick for this managers actions, volume and attitude. Had I not already signed paperwork or been another prespective customer in the showroom I would have hit the doors quickly and took my business elsewhere. After leaving Don Ayres I received a phone call from Bill apologizing. Quite frankly he didn't want to hear me out. It was a phone call like he was "covering his butt".I am a returning customer. I have purchase 2 vehicles prior, along with my parents and my son in purchasing vehicles and service. After Bill's tyrant and Jami's attitude I would not be so committed to Don Ayres.I can not believe that for a new set of tires, what $300 maybe, that I would recieve such the run around. The noise that I heard is still present, and I stopped by on 7-12 and talked to Rick. I will be bringing the car back on 7-14 per Rick because that is my next day available due to my work schedule. On the day of pick up 7-11, Rick told me that he was told that the noise we heard was a low tire. Rick went above what was to be expected for his customer service, in which I would purchase from HIM again. I was highly disappointed.Sincerely,Shelly Habegger

My husband and I went to Don Ayres just "to look around." When we were walking through looking at the used certified cars we were greeted by Anwar. He was very polite, gave us his business card and told us to look around and if we had questions or wanted to test drive a car he would be able to help us. He wasn't pushy and gave us room by ourselves to look around on our own. We immediately wanted to check out a hybrid so we talked to Anwar not long after introductions. We went inside and he took some basic information then he got the car and brought it into the car bay so we can check out the car from bumper to bumper out of the sun with plenty of room to move around. Anwar was very thorough explaining the Honda Civic Hybrid and Honda's certified information. Soon after, we hopped in and went for a brief ride. Of course I was in love with the car. Once we got back to the dealership we began all the "fun stuff" by entering information for the purchase. During this time Anwar was very friendly, talking to us like good friends throughout the whole process. He was very personable and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. We came towards the end of the night and even though the closing/purchase took longer than expected, past closing, Anwar never got irritated that we were past his time to go home. We felt important from the moment we met through to us leaving. Everyone at Don Ayres was very friendly. Any time we walked by an employee we were always greeted with a friendly smile and "Hello." We never once felt like "we didn't belong" at Don Ayres! I have never had such a great experience purchasing a car in my life; my husband and I both were just so pleased with Don Ayers and their employees! We can't thank everyone enough for everything and we look forward to continuing a life-long friendship with Don Ayres!

We have always been greeted with a smile; sometimes even with our door being opened for us. Numerous times our vehicle problem was fixed right in the bay w/o cost. The staff seems quite knowledable about problems shared and possible solutions. It also helps to be asked about a car wash and we often are. In all the many years that we have brought our vehicles to the service center we can count on less than one hand problems with the service. We actually look forward to bringing our car in and have not found another dealer's service center to be that friendly and helpful. Please keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And don't let Doug go-----he's great for you and us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My experience with the service department and everyone at Don Ayres is always exceedingly satisfactory.I never dread making the appointment because your service and sales reps are always friendly and knowledgable. They also get me in and out with minimal time loss. They keep me informed on what service will be done on my lease vehicle and what will be needed at the next service appointment, which is really helpful in these economic times. I will be back if in the future I require a replacement vehicle and will always recommend Don Ayres to my friends and business associates if they ever need a reliable car dealer. Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job!

The overall experience at the dealership was good even though we were not able to get much of a discount on the new vehicle. We were not willing to sell our used car to them for the trade in price that they offered. They were excellent in presenting the new car's features to us.

It was a great experience. They worked with us to get within our budget, plus get us the vehicle we wanted, a Honda Pilot EX. Ben Maggert is a great salesman. This is the third vehicle we have bought from Ben and Don Ayres in the past three years: the vehicle I traded in for this one, our daughter's car and this one. Ben has been both helpful and honest with us. He has stayed in touch with us over the past three years, without being pushy or a pest, which we have really appreciated. I would highly recommend both Don Ayres and Ben Maggert.

Don Ayers Honda,Recently, my wife and I went shopping for a replacement car. Back in 1989, I had purchased a Honda CRX from Don Ayres Honda and was very satisfied with the quality of the car, as well as the service department, so we decided check the dealership out. Our salesman was Anwar. Anwar, Carlo, and Bill, as well as the rest of the staff treated us excellent and were very patient, handling all the matters in the highest professional manner. Anwar particularly was easy going, answering all the questions we had and if he didn't know the answer, he tried and find out for us. The first car we purchased was the 2008 Honda Civic LX. We liked how we were treated so much, we decided to go ahead and purchase a second replacement car, the Pontiac G3.On the day we took the cars home, we made several stops in Ft. Wayne and in Churubusco. Several individuals inquired about the Pontiac G3 and the Honda Civic, since they were also looking for replacement cars. Our experience was so positive, that we have recommended Don Ayers Honda and gave Anwar's business cards to them and others who have asked since...we would pass more out...but have run out of cards!!!Rod and June Strayer

These men are wonderful! They have always gone out of their way to make sure that I am happy with my Hondas. I have purchased 4 HOndas at Don Ayres. I was ready to give back my 2007 Accord due to a noise in the front drivers side window that was really bothering me. Doug spent time figuring out where the noise was coming from and fixed it! He even worked me in to get it fixed before I took a trip....in his words "so I wouldn't have to hear it on the drive". That is true customer service with care!I can't say enough about the service I have gotten from Doug and the rest of the men there. I would never go any place else in Fort Wayne!I'm moving to Iowa in July 2011 and I am concerned about what kind of service I will get there. I may come back here for some of it when I visit family here.

Benjamin Maggert was freindly, informative, responsive; led my wife & I from looking at CR-V & Element vehicles to the Accord CrossTour. Ben discussed with us what we were looking for in a vehicles, gave us choices, covered positive features of each of the three vhicles. We decided on the Accord CrossTour. We met with Jeremy Todd to discuss options of payment. Benjamin & Jeremy were the reason to buy a vehicle at Don Ayres. Don Ayres, as all businesses, is a name & building - the people working there are the "blood" & "life" of that business. Benjamin Maggert & Jeremy Todd are that for Don Ayres.

Anwar was very helpful during the whole process. We found the car on the lot over the weekend. Anwar responded to an email I placed through their websire the next day. While the information on their website was spotty and inaccurate on somethings, Anwar did his best to give us the best possible information.We couldn't be happier with Anwar or Don Ayers Honda. They were all excellent to deal with.

I have now purchased 3 cars from Don Ayres. Why do I keep coming back? The service is excellent; the product if great, and you feel a part of a family that they are making you a part of. Originally for my second cqar, I returned because of the knowledge and expert care I got in the Serice Dept. and Doug Settle, the manager. I have found that the sales representatives are knowledgeable and honest in their presentation of their products--Honda cars.BJ Harper

Once I got to Ben as my sales associate, my experience was fantastic. He did an excellent job, working to make sure I got exactly the car I wanted--something I did not receive at other Honda dealerships and from another sales associate. He was personable, knowledgeable, and made me feel taken care of as a customer. As this was my first new car purchase, the process can be more than a little nerve-racking, but he helped me get to exactly where I wanted to be.

Sales people were wonderful. Detailing was poor - garbage was left in van at purchase time and the storage bin in the 2nd row was extremely wet and left closed - I guess from shampooing. It was beginning to get musty and I am spending many hours trying to dry it out so it can be used and not get moldy.

This is the second vehicle that we have leased through Don Ayres Honda in Fort Wayne, IN in the last 2 years. The atmosphere is always friendly and the entire staff is always willing to answer all your questions. They treat you like family when you arrive and through the entire process. They keep their customer up to date with new dealer incentives via email and also contact you via phone just to check up on the vehicle and if you are enjoying it or if there have been any issues. Andy Hitzemann was extremely helpful on our new lease of our 2011 Honda Odyssey and even paired the bluetooth cell phone for my wife to the vehicle. He showed us all the new gadgets that Honda updated on the current model compared to our 2010 model that we traded in. Over all, Don Ayres is more than just a dealer of fine automobiles, but they are more of a family that you go to visit (but only when needed)!!! :)

We were looking to purchase a small fuel effecient vehicle in Ft. Wayne. We went to the only Ford dealership, the only Hyundia dealership and the only Volkswagon dealership and there were no Focus, Fiesta, Accent, Elantra or TDI Golfs in the entire city. We went to Don Ayres and they had two Fit, two Insights and two CR-Zs to test drive.I was concerned because of low ratings by Consumer Reports on the Insight and the CR-Z and they were able to work through my concerns point by point. I had multiple visits, multiple phone conversations and all were professional, none over pushy and they never put down the competition I was shopping. They just focused on their products strong points and let the ride speak for itself.We ended up deciding on a CR-Z and, due to the limmited supply, they found one in MI and drove it back. They were thorough on their walk throughs of all of the vehicles functionality and the owners manual.

I have taken my vehicles to Don Ayres for the past 15 years for service. I have dealt with Kevin for quite some time and he has always been extremely good to work with. He is knowlegeable and has alwawys communicated the necessary maintenance that needed to be done. He has always followed through as promised. The quality of work has been good.

Rick answered my e-mail inquiry promptly (other dealerships I e-mailed did not respond) and he set up an appointment that worked for me. We discussed via phone my needs and expectations. Rick greeted me with a smile and handshake making me feel that I was important to him. We again discussed my needs and wants...after a short computer check Rick found the perfect car for me. Rick made the buying process simple and go very smoothly....time passed quickly and I left with a much needed new CRV!!!

I would refer a friend or relative to this place because they are very friendly and they will try their best to get you into the vehichle you want and you will be happy leaving. I have tried other places but Don Ayres was the only place that went above and beyond and they are priced very reasonable

I was very impressed with the friendliness and courtesy shown to me and my family, when I dropped by Saturday, May 28 to look at purchasing a used car. The salesman, Jeff Gilmore, and his supervisor, Bill, worked tirelessly to insure that I had picked the right vehicle for me, and that I was satisfied with the purchase. They put me at ease, and got me financed at the right rate. I rate this experience A+, and I will highly recommend my friends to buy from Jeff, and Don Ayres.

We have dealt with Don Ayres Honda for 20+ years. We have always had good service. Shannon was very helpful and informative. He made sure everything was set up that we had access to on the car. He allowed us to ask any questions we had. We were very happy with the price and feel we made a good deal. We were very happy with his manager, Carlos and the finance person. Everyone was courteous and helpful.

We were very satisfied with the reception we recieved the moment we left our vehicle untill we left the lot with our purchase. We were met by your representative, Anwar, who was very professional, and friendly. We liked the fact that we were not pressed to buy....simply shown several vehicles. Anwar was very informative, answered all our questions, and made us feel we were chatting with an old friend. He spent a lot of time with us not knowing for certain we would buy and we never felt hurried or pressured to make a decision. Our daughter met him the following day when we returned to pick up some papers and when we left she made the statement that Anwar was the FIRST car salesperson she had ever met that she actually liked. We would recommend your dealership and in particular your sales represenative, Anwar.

Mark is a salesman with integrity. He will sell you a great vehicle without the 'hard sell pitch'. If you need to grab a bite to eat and discuss what you need - no problem - he will be there when you come back to buy the vehicle. None of that high pressure 'you have to buy it now - one day only price' stuff like at other dealerships.Tell him what you are looking for and he will find it for you. This is the second vehicle Mark has sold us and we are very happy with it.

Had a routine oil change done on my Accord. The staff were friendly and completed the work within the time frame that was given to me. The price is lower than anywhere else and the fact that it is a Honda Dealer that is completing the work puts my mind at ease knowing that it is done right and if there are any other problems discovered they will notify me.

Jeremy did a good job explaining that we needed new brakes and why. He was very thorough and helpful. In the past, we have mainly worked with Jay and Troy. The service advisors and the service are the main reasons that we would be reluctant to look at other dealerships. We would not like to give up Honda's service.

Jarred H was friendly and helpful. He answered my questions and was polite. He did a great job of showing me cars and explaining the features. On the other hand Rick Squires was high strung and came across as rude. When I asked questions about the buying process, his tone was impatient, and condescending. The first thing my husband and another person said when meeting Rick was,"boy is he high strung." Many people have asked me about my Honda CRV, and I tell them how much I love the car, but probably would take my business elsewhere the next time.

After I bought the car, they did inspection to fix several problems, had to take the car back twice. They refused to fix brakes and told me squeaking was normal (George's mechanic replaced them after being paper thin and squealers were exposed), lights continued flashing and told it was normal (Alternator replaced, flashing stopped), got a very rude voicemail about no more service would be done on the vehicle and I needed to come get it now. Took 45 days to receive title after going and getting a dealer plate after my temporary plate expired, I had to call 3 times to question people about where my title was. The day after I got it, I received a phone call claiming I needed to return the dealer plate because I had had it way too long. I explained I just got my title yesterday, they seemed confused. The next week I receive a phone call from a manager claiming the plate was going to be reported stolen. I don't see why they had 45 days (21 legally) to get me my title and I didn't even have one day to get my new registration. After talking to several friends and reading reviews about Don Ayres, I found out this is normal. I will never come back or recommend this place of business. I will also make sure I add to the poor reviews. Hopefully someone will want to get it together...

I had a spring break in my trunk door over the weekend. I use my car, especially my trunk, in my work as I am a courier. Jeremy ordered the part which was in the next day and Doug asked when I could get in for it to be installed. Doug, knowing that this repair was vital for my work, got me in the first thing the next morning and got me out in 20 minutes. Truly a great response to my problem. Doug and his staff are the very best in service at Don Ayres Honda. This is not the first time my wife and I have had terrific experience in their Service Dept. Not only is Honda a great car , the service couldn't be better!! That is why we will continue to buy from and always use Honda service from Don Ayres in the future. Great people!!

The sales experience was pleasant. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable about the vehicle; he was very helpful and not at all pushy. The service however, was extremely disappointing. I have encountered two maintenance issues within the first 24 hours. A screw was broken off in the license plate holder and left unattended, which took several hours to get corrected and cost me two trips to service. The second issue, even more appalling, was a small plastic cover TAPED on the underside of the front bumper which of course fell off immediately at the first washing. For a "certified" Honda vehicle, these minor yet aggregating mishaps speak volumes for the quality of work that the service department puts out! Both items are completely unacceptable for the fact that they were identified and not corrected during the certification inspection...kind of makes me wonder what else I will uncover.

Don Ayres has the best service by far. I have been a satisfied customer of theirs since 1998 when I purchased my 1st Honda (CRV). I now own a 2006 Pilot and all my service is done by Don Ayres, I wouldn't take my vehicle any place else! I also like the fact that even for a simple oil change, they will wash my car.

Doug Settle has provided quality service to our Honda for 14 years. He is honest and we trust his recommendations for repairs. He has even gone above and beyond repairing our other vehicle when we were returning from the first Dr. appointment following hip replacement surgery. He was prompt to provide the needed repairs so we could get back home. He is the best!We will buy another Honda because of the excellent service.

I have bought from Don Ayres before, and I have always been happy with the cars and the service. My newest purchase is no exception. They have a great selection of cars and the prices are the best in northern Indiana. The salesperson was friendly, but not pressuring, and made the experience worth my 40 mile drive.

Was in for regular service for my car. Lease was up in a month, so figured I would check out how much to buy my car, etc. I initially spoke with Doug, who sat down with me over options, then directed me to Salesman Rick to test drive, etc. Doug then worked out the numbers, and came up with a new lease car for me. He is very patient and professional.

Very friendly service and communicated very well with what we needed to do to take care of everything.

When we walked in we told them what kind of vehicle we were looking for and were shown several that matched our description.

We would definitely recommend them to our family and friends.

Ty has always been very good to deal with.I mentioned that I received an offer from another Honda dealer that beat the list price by $1300.00 No comment was received from anyone at Ayres about that offer and no offer below list was ever brought up during the sale process. When the trade was nixed on my car I thought that some kind of deal would have been discussed as I brought up a possible $500.00 off. This is why my rating of OK for price.

In review, my experiance at your dealership was very pleasant. I feel that this is mostly due to the sales person I dealt with. The pricing was great on the vehicle that I purchased,and I'm O.K. with final amount allowed for my trade in. At this timeI would have to say that you've created a very happy customer, and I have and will share this with others.

We had a great experience in working with Shawn. We would consider buying a car from him in the future. Shawn Baney was friendly, curteous and very helpful. The only reason there were some 'good ratings' versus 'great' is because the numbers manager did not seem to take us seriously at first and did not realize that I was not interested in haggling, I wanted to buy a car that day and was going to do it with whomever had the best price.

Don Ayres Honda has the best Service Dept. I've ever dealt with! Everyone seems to be happy to be there and take care of their customers. The service is performed in a timely manner and done right the first time! And I can't say enough about the waiting room. What more could you ask for? Just make sure Doug Settle doesn't go anywhere! Thanks for a great experience every time I come in for service! Jon

Good experience overall. Aaron was very attentive to our needs. Went out of his way to provide information and contact us about a used Acadia that came in moments after we left the dealership, sending photos and information to our email. We purchased the Acadia the next day and are very happy. Thanks.

When my Honda requires service, I would never take it to another dealer. My experience at Don Ayres has always been top rate. The employees care about my concerns, patiently attend to all the "noises" I hear, and spend what ever time is required to make certain the problem is diagnosed and solved. In a world where customer satisfaction takes a back seat, the opposite is true at Don Ayres Honda. The customer care does not stop when the sale is completed, it is the heart and soul of their organization. I would and have recommended Don Ayres Honda without hesitation or reservation.

Have been a regular service customer at Don Ayres and charging a diagnostic fee of $85 to look into any reported vehicle problem even for regular customers, seemed high to me. I ended up with a high repair estimate and the service advisor was good enough to charge me only half the diagnostic fee since they didn't take too long to identify the problem. The diagnostic was correctly done which showcases their good quality of work.

I find that when I schedule an appt for maintenance they are on time and take care of what I need in a timely fashion. They will also mention future considerations I may need to take care of the keep up with my warranty. The people are friendly, and cost is reasonable. I have purchased 2 vehicles from this dealership in the last 6 years.

Insight EX - On the negative side was when I talked with Rick Squires I stated that I wanted the Clear Sky Blue Metallic in stock. When my wife and I arrived at 7:00p to complete the deal the car was not available. The other choices from stock was White or Silver. Rick Squires was able to locate a Crimson Pearl Insight EX. The online views and all car information shows it to be bright red but to our disappointment it is closer to Burgundy. It even looks dark on a sunny day. My wife and I are both disappointed but still enjoy the Insight. The sales person Shawn Baney drove the Crimson Insight inside to see it in bright light. (It was a cloudy day when we picked up the car). We have been Honda owners since 1982 and we love our three Hondas and plan on being Honda owners for life.Gene & Rosie Hanefeld

We purchased my 2010 Insight from Don Ayres. Their service was great and friendly, and we were in and out within 30 minutes. The one issue that dings the Customer Service score was that I put a service request in using their website, but was never contacted to officially set it up. I had to call them back to set up the actual program.

Every one is always helpful, especially Doug. I always get good service. The price for an oil change is great. The prices for 90,000 mile service seems high. I enjoy the friendliness of everyone when I visit your place. It's nice to have your car washed when you get service if you ask someone. Thanks, floyd.

I was recently in the market for a Honda Civic and I had located a car that I was interested in at another local dealership. I stopped by Don Ayres Honda to talk with Joe Parra whom I spoken with in the past and trusted his opinion. I wanted to see if they felt that I was getting a good deal and if the car would still be certified or not since it was sold as a certified car to another customer about a year ago. Joe took a look at the deal that I had with me from the other dealer and asked if he could show it to the sales manager and I said that would be fine. They said that it was in fact a good deal, but wanted to know if they could beat the deal if I would be interested in buying a Civic from them instead. I was very interested, because I would much rather by a Honda from a Honda dealer and also liked the fact that it would be certified and come with a warranty from Honda! They worked hard to get my business on this one and I ended up buying their car instead! The customer service provided from them both before and after the sale was awesome! My wife and I were impressed and will be back in the future! I did end up having to replace the tires on the car because they were extremely noisy...I was not happy about that part, but after putting 4 new Michelin tires on the car...the ride is much better and quieter!!! Overall I am still happy and glad I decided to by my Civic from Joe instead. On a side note...we also just purchased another car from another local dealer and we were not nearly as happy with the service we were provided by them! Thank you Joe and Bill!!! Keep up the good work!

I would highly recommend Don Ayres Service department, in fact in 7 years I have trusted "only" Don Ayres to service my vehicle. I purchased my Honda Pilot NEW from Don Ayres sales rep. George Widman (hard wording honest)in 2004. I have followed the recommended service schedule. I appreciate the friendly service reminders mailed directly to my home with intuitive precision just as I'm about to hit the recommended mileage. With over 230,000 carefree miles serviced solely by Doug Settle's well managed team, my car still drives like new!As a single mother of two children, I have always felt confident that my pilot would take us safely to our destination. We live in the country and have easily navigated through a variety of harsh weather challenges. Stay tuned for my 300,000+ update. :-)In the spirit of full disclosure:Although the Auto Body shop may have employees with great skills and Dustin is kind and professional, I have not been as satisfied with the body shop due to what I perceived as an unprofessional communication style by the body shop manager to me.

I have always found that the service guys really take good care of my Civic. And the time involved is almost always acceptable. And the $12.95 oil change service is the best in town, so thank you so much. The only complaint is I think that over $16 is a bit much for tire rotation!! Keep up the good work!!Vern FrisbyPS Something I just thought of was once I called for a service rep. and got phone mail as every one was busy, so left a message asking for an appointment and after two hours I called back to find out the person I left message with was not in that day!!

4 Hondas so far. Doug Settle, service dept manager, is the only car repair person I have ever completely trusted (and I am an old guy who has owned 49 cars)! Honda makes a great car. However, with the high number of miles I put on them even they need repairs at some point. Doug has always worked to get me in and out proptly at the least possible cost.

Every time I bring our car in for service it is a pleasant experience. The service department is very professional and courteous. WE have owned Honda's for the past 25 years. During this period of time we have only had one bad experience. At that time I brought this to the attention of the Service Manage Doug Settle and he made it right for us. This is why I own Honda's and buy cars from this dealer.

very good price on a used car in excellent condition. Excellent trade value for vehicle traded in, also. Had a non-functional power mirror on passenger side when we took possession of the vehicle, which should have been caught and remedied on their 150 point inspection as part of the certification process for the vehicle.

At the start of my new car purchase process I thought I would end up with a Camry. After doing my initial research I thought I would be buying a Sonata. After visiting the dealerships and taking a test drive, I purchased an Accord. Shannon was very friendly and helpful - this factored into my purchase decision. The dealership was very willing to work with me on the price also. Based on these factors I would have rated my overall experience a 5. The financing portion of the deal was a slightly different matter. I felt Mr. Todd was a bit pushy when it came to additional options. I have a background in finance and a close relative who served as an auto dealership finance manager so I have a decent understanding of auto financing. Mr. Todd didn't do anything offensive or underhanded. He did his best salesman job to sell options. This reduced my overall experience from a 5 to a 4. I'm still impressed with the dealership and look forward to long-term relationship.

This dealership is wonderful! I never felt pressured or overwhelmed. Since I come from a family of car dealers/salesman I know how pushy some can be and this is not the atmosphere at Don Ayres whatsoever. I plan on sticking with this dealership with all of my vehicle purchases.

All was good up to dealing with mr. todd in f and i.His attitude and demeanor was almost enough for me to cancel deal.When asking to see new contract he acted if we were out of line for doing so,his remark was there is nothing underhanded going on here all is the same as day before.My response was that this is my money and good buss. to review any changes.I assured him that i was not implying any dishonesty on don ayres behalf.I was made to feel uncomfortable.Had my wife and i not gone thru so much to choose this car i would have walked at that time.Mr fenoglio was very easy to deal with and kind to say the least.If i decide to trade again he would be the person for me.My wife loves the car and we know it will serve us well being a honda.

George and everyone else at Don Ayres has been great to work with but wouldn't say the same for American Honda! I have had tons of issues with my new Honda Odyssey, it was my first Honda and might be my last. I will say though they have an awsome service department and that Doug Settles it a great service manager they have done everything possible to help me out.

I was instantly pleased in reviewing the used inventory online, as I felt all prices were already listed reasonably.Upon my arrival, I was eagerly greeted by Sharon, the sales rep I had dealt with online. None of the salesmen(woman) made me feel as if my business was just a commission check, and the 3 sales associates I spoke to, had very positive things to say about their employer. This proved that if they LOVED to work there, they took pride in their work.I work with people looking to purchase autos every day, I've never been treated so courtesly as I was with the staff of Don Ayres.I love my "New" Honda Pilot, just as they promised I would!

Once I figured out that I wanted a Honda Accord I really shopped around to find a good dealership. I went to 2 different dealerships before I tried Don Ayres. Not only do I feel like I got the best deal but I felt like they were honest and upfront about everything. I would definatley recommend them. It was worth driving an hour and a half to get my new car!!

I have always had great luck at Don Ayres and would only deal with them. I have owned 4 Hondas and won't deal with any other dealer. They are fair in their pricing. Their service department is top notch. They let you know what is going on. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a new/used vehicle or a great service department to deal with. How can you go wrong with $12.95 oil changes?

My wife & I stopped by to look at the CRV's, and Bill Donnelly was vary nice. He was not aggressive, or pushy. He answered all are questions and showed us everything about the CRV's. He never once come out and wanted to start talking numbers. He let us take one for a test drive, and he pointed out some of the features about the CRV. This was the first time in my life of shopping for a car, that I thanked the salesman for not being pushy. Most of the time I would just walk off!<br>When it's time to buy our CRV, I well go back to see Mr. Donnelly.
