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.

Rather than toss around empty superlatives, let me share my wife & my experience which included Joe Mount's attention to our needs starting a 8:30am and not ending under we test drove 3 vehicles, negotiated my wife & my experience which included Joe Mount's attention to our needs starting a 8:30am and not ending under we test drove 3 vehicles, negotiated in good faith on two of them, and signed an purchase agreement after 5pm the same day. In addition, the dealership's finance team stayed late - estim 7:30pm - to finalize our loan and finalize our ability to drive home our new Tundra that very same evening!! Meanwhile, while we were with finance, Joe helped clean out and transfer our personal items from our trade in vehicle to our new truck! If you are in search of honest, caring service founder upon integrity and true customer care, you need to choose Heritage Toyota! The best car buying experience we've ever had. ... Dare I say, we actually enjoyed it from start to finish! More
