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.

This was the best car-buying experience we've ever had, thanks to Derek Blood. We generally dread buying a car, but Derek made the whole process painless.

Derek was great--we went back and forth for months between buying used, buying a Prius and buying a Rav4 Prime, and he was able to give us cost breakdowns for each option, and when we finally settled between buying used, buying a Prius and buying a Rav4 Prime, and he was able to give us cost breakdowns for each option, and when we finally settled on the Rav4 he kept us updated on its delivery from Japan. I feel like we got exactly the car we wanted, with exactly the packages we wanted and nothing more, at MRSP--no hard sell and no markups at any point, which is a rare thing particularly for that vehicle. Very happy with our experience with Heritage Toyota. More

Derek came highly recommended when I started the search for a new vehicle for my girls and I. The vehicle I was in just wasn't working out for my clients, was a little too large for my girls and I and the for a new vehicle for my girls and I. The vehicle I was in just wasn't working out for my clients, was a little too large for my girls and I and the mileage was high. Derek set up an appointment for me to come in to discuss the situation and see what he could do to help. Derek was patient and understanding of my current situation and determined to find the right vehicle for me. In just a couple hours of test driving, crunching numbers and problem solving he found me the perfect vehicle to fit our needs!! My girls were SO excited when I picked them up in our new purple Rav4. The three of us love it! Thank you, Derek! Patrick was incredibly supportive and helpful with the financial position and made things happen for me that I didn't think were possible!! The system was convenient and user friendly! More
