Used car sales manager Carlo Borg began working at Don Ayres Thirteen years ago, and he can see why people in the community have so much respect for the dealership. Borg, who has been in the auto business for about 28 years, says Don Ayres puts its customers first – no matter what. “This is a great place,” he says. “We definitely take care of our customers.” Pre-owned vehicles, for example, must undergo a rigorous inspection before they are sold. Customers don’t have to worry about undisclosed problems. “They can rest assured that when they buy a pre-owned vehicle from Don Ayres, they know exactly what they’re buying,” Borg says. “There’s no smoke and mirrors.”We simply sell top quality pre-owned vehicles with warranties. Borg, a self-described fitness enthusiast, begins every day at the gym. Usually, he’s there by 5 a.m. “I look forward to it every day,” he says. “I live every day to the fullest.” I also enjoy spending quality time with my wife of 30 years and two daughters.

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.

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 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. More

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 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. More

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!!!
