The busy shopping centre was evacuated around 10am on Friday 26th May.
Alarms were raised and centre management made it clear an emergency was on-going through the tannoy.
A spokesperson from Ayr Central said:
"A precautionary evacuation was undertaken this morning the fire service attended & quickly found the source of smoke: a petrol leak in a customer's car, which has now been removed.
"Thanks to all our customers for your patience. #Safety is always our priority. The Centre is open as normal now."
Security prevented anyone from entering the shopping centre as Firefighters get car out from the car-park which is situated underground, below the shops.
The loud fire alarm could be heard from the bottom of Ayr High Street.
We're glad everyone is safe & well!
