Hello There My Name is Matt. I have been working at Heritage for over 2 years now and truly love what I do. I have lived in New England all my life. I moved to Vermont in 2001 to open a restaurant for the Company I worked with. Vermont became the place where I started my family. I have 2 children. My Daughter Lily who is 8 and my Son Colin who is 6. I enjoy watching all sports. I play golf and hang out with the Family on my free time. I really enjoy meeting and getting to know new people everyday. I like to make the experience of buying a vehicle as fun and relaxed as possible. It really means a lot to me when customers, their friends, and their families come back and see me when they have vehicle needs.

Worked w/Rob Ploof for the latest purchase and he was great. Although there was a delay in getting the car it was due to storm damage that interfered with rail shipping of the vehicle. Rob kept us up to date and once the car arrived had it prepped and worked with us to facilitate the sales process according to our schedule and needs. If you are in the S. Burlington area I HIGHLY recommend Heritage as a place to consider for a new/used car. More

Through was looking for in my home state. We were planning a trip to Vermont and I was referred to Ryan Slatt at Heritage Toyota by a family member. Through contact over the phone, Ryan found exactly what I was looking for, sent me videos, walked me through the features and process. And best of all, worked out an offer I couldn’t refuse! Once we arrived at Heritage, Ryan and the staff treated us like family. The process was smooth and easy and I drove away that 1st day of our trip in my beautiful new Tacoma. Absolutely amazing… I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new vehicle to seek out Ryan Slatt and Heritage Toyota for your needs. You won’t be disappointed… More

Tyber really knows how to deliver. He is warm and attentive. Consequently, he understands his customers needs and is able to execute on their behalf. I had a fairly specific set of criteria I was looking for in my new vehicle and within 24hrs Tyber was able to secure something that met my specifications. We were able to close the deal the following week with an open line of communication throughout the whole process. Thank you Tyber! More
