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.

Shopping to possibly buy a new Camry. Derek was very helpful to us! He went out in frigid weather (with a smile!) to bring a car in to the climate controlled area so that we could look at Derek was very helpful to us! He went out in frigid weather (with a smile!) to bring a car in to the climate controlled area so that we could look at it in comfort. He was very knowledgeable about all the features of the car he showed us. He reviewed the colors of the vehicle that would be available. When we had questions, he was able to answer them all. We decided to NOT buy a 2018 Camry as they have done away with most of the features that we love about our 2011 Camry. We did NOT like the following: the 'cockpit' style seat surround, the fewer storage spaces, the lowered height of the car from the ground, the front of the car, the colors available - all too dark - I want a fun, light color! We DID like the trunk space. The opening was more accessible, and they have done away with the semi-shield that we have towards the back of our trunk in our 2011 Camry. Derek was also well versed with any 'deals' that were available. However, at this time, we did not feel there were that many. More

I looked hard and Derek stayed with me throughout the process which didn't come to anything. However I told Derek I would look at the 2018 models and to keep me posted. He did and despite the hard work I had put him through in September, he was there for me on my purchase of a new Tundra. Derek show exceptional willingness to put in the hard work on my behalf, and always with a Big Smile. He help me through the complete process showing a genuine care for my needs. I felt like the dealership really cared for me as a person as well as a customer. Derek put in the hard work necessary for me to buy and for that service I commend him and I am very comfortable with the Dealership because of him and his effort on my behalf... Thanks More

Sales Experience was great Our sales experience with Derek Blood was terrific. He stayed on course, looking for exactly what we asked him for, and trying to back into the price Our sales experience with Derek Blood was terrific. He stayed on course, looking for exactly what we asked him for, and trying to back into the price we needed to get to. He knew the cars well that we test drove, and answered all of our questions. He had a lot of patience with our buying process, and believe me, we tested him! He was "on" 24/7 for us, even texting on the weekends when we needed to speak with him, or on his day off. We can't thank Derek enough for such a positive experience. More

Very considerate and honest When in search for the perfect car, you want a salesperson who is both considerate and honest, and Derek was just that. I never once felt pressured in When in search for the perfect car, you want a salesperson who is both considerate and honest, and Derek was just that. I never once felt pressured into a sale that I hadn't planned, or didn't feel right, and I walked away with a fantastic, and budget-friendly ride! Christine was also very helpful and knowledeable in working out my payment plan for my car. She was ready and willing to answer all of my questions, and did not hesitate to go the extra mile. More
