Born and raised in Shelburne, Vermont and now living in Fairfax where I purchased my first home in September of 2020. If I am not at Heritage, you can find me tinkering at my house, camping or driving around Vermont to find the best rivers for fishing; I love to experience the Vermont outdoors. I'd be more than happy to help you find the right vehicle for every adventure, in a laid back and hassle-free environment. Come experience the Heritage difference.

Joe went above and beyond, and made my car buying experience amazing, comfortable and easy, He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, really listened to me, took into account what I was looking f experience amazing, comfortable and easy, He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, really listened to me, took into account what I was looking for and my budget, then found me exactly what I needed and wanted. I am on the Autism spectrum, and this was my first time buying a car by myself. People with Autism aren’t always understood, but Joe was patient, thoughtful, understanding, and treated me wonderfully, answering all of my many questions, and then found me a great car that I love. After my purchase, he followed up to make sure everything was going well, and that I had everything I needed with the car. His attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and the care he took of me throughout the process was unparalleled. I highly recommend going to see Joe for your next car. More

Heritage Ford was a busy place. I feel like they didn't have a very large inventory. The first time we stopped no one came out to help us which was disappointing.
