Do not trust this group. I had a signed contract in-hand and they sold it to another buyer anyway. At no point did anyone ever tell me that I could lose the vehicle. I was out plane fare and ohter expense and they sold it to another buyer anyway. At no point did anyone ever tell me that I could lose the vehicle. I was out plane fare and ohter expenses. To top it off, the owners refused to return my calls to discuss the matter. Total lack of ethics and professionalism in my opinion. Stay away! More
It is my opinion that these guys are dishonest. They perform the old "bait and switch" like pros and promise you the world for you to sign, then change the game as you take delivery. I bought one veh perform the old "bait and switch" like pros and promise you the world for you to sign, then change the game as you take delivery. I bought one vehicle there which was used and supposedly "certified". In the two months since buying I've had brake problems and found an oil leak. These are certainly issues which should have been noted- my local mechanic said they were basically "duct tapped" in order to get off the lot. Look at their positive reviews, don't they look suspicious?? Trust me- if I were you I would not trust these guys! They will promise any price to get you in the door then come up with reasons to no go through with the sale. Do yourself a huge favor and go elsewhere. More
Our family has bought numerous cars and trucks from this Dealer. And they always seem to have the best price and everyone at the dealership is very helpful and friendly. We will continue to do business with Dealer. And they always seem to have the best price and everyone at the dealership is very helpful and friendly.

Ahhhh where to start? I will start by saying that in the last two years I have purchased six vehicles from The Hertrich Family of Dealerships and things have been worse with each return visit. Most recently last two years I have purchased six vehicles from The Hertrich Family of Dealerships and things have been worse with each return visit. Most recently I decided that I wanted a BMW. I contacted a salesman named Doug at Frederick Ford and explained to him what I wanted to purchase so he could start trying to find one at auction or another local dealer. After about two weeks I called back and Doug told me he had not found one yet but if I would like to start looking myself feel free to do so. If I found something I liked they would purchase it and sell it to me. That night I found the car I wanted and it was about 150 miles away. I called Doug and told him to get the car. He started making arrangemnets and that night I went and did my finance work so this wa on a wednesday. Now as far as I am concerned I purchased that car on a Wednesday and i wanted it hear by the weekend which I was told would not be a problem. Friday afternoon no car I call Doug he tells me I can go pick it up myself if I wanted it andthey would send a inspector up with me with the check and the inspector would make sure the vehicle was worth what I was paying. Hertrich charged me a additional $1200 for this convenience. So at 5 oclock on friday i meet with this inspector who has the check to buy the car.Now 150 miles is a long way so me and the inspector have plenty of time to talk. Come to find out the inspector is actually Fred Hertrichs personal driver. Now this is not the number one thing she does at Hertrichs. Her main job is to pick up and deliver all of Mr. Hertrichs horse sperm frrom his numerous farms and to drive mrs. Hertrich back and forth to her families home in NJ because she does not like to drive. So about mid way up I start wondering exactly what I was paying $1200 for to Hertrichs. Things just get better from here. We get there and this dealer is in a bad location so the horse sperm delivery lady does not want to get out and inspect the car, understandable shes like 65. I go look at the car I like it give them the check and drive off. Now I dont get home til around 1 in the morning so I wait until the next day to call Hertrichs and tell them there going to have to give me my money back because they literally did not do anything. They say NO the deal is done. Ok I go to get the car inspected. FAILED. Call Hertrichs Nothing they can do. At this point they want to just refund me for my tax and tags and let me take care of it myself. No problem give me my $1200 back and I will get the car repaired to pass inspection and tag it myself. Cant do that they say we can refund you for the tax and tags but not the mark up for us buying inspecting and delivering the car to you. But you didnt do any of that I said. Well we cant refund you for the mark up but you have a couple3 more days to repair the car yourself or we will not be able to do your title work that we are charging you $1200 for. Long story short they are a bunch of crooks but I say keep acting up in a recession and that lot will soon look like GM Gianton 50 in Easton. More
These people seem to think that they are the only game in town. On two recent weekends, I spoke with two different salesman whose names I don't recall. We were interested in a Ford F150. Both salesmen would town. On two recent weekends, I spoke with two different salesman whose names I don't recall. We were interested in a Ford F150. Both salesmen would only reduce the sticker price of the truck by $4000.00 which was what Ford was giving in incentives. We were not trading anything in so I felt it should be discounted more. The first salesman made comments like " Come Back And See Me When you Can't Find A Better Deal". The second salesman said it really didn't matter whether he sold us a truck or not, he had sold four already that day and he wasn't paid on commission anyway. Earlier this week I spoke on the phone to a salesman named Mr.Schroder at the same dealership. He was okay to speak with and I told him I would come in to see him that evening. As the rest of that day unfolded I wound up buying an F150 at another dealer(at a much better discounted amount). I spoke with Mr. Schroder again on the phone and explained that I had purchased elsewhere. He still encouraged me to come to his dealership and that he could do better than any deal that I had. I said no, I am happy with what I had purchased but thanks anyway. Five minutes passed and I received a call from a man who said he was the sales manager at Frederick Ford. He began telling me that he would sell me the truck that I had talked to Mr. Schroder about for a better price than I could get from anyone else.Again, I explained that I was happy with what I had bought. He then told me that just to show me what a deal I had missed, the price of the truck I wanted was $24995.00. I said thanks anyway and said goodbye. The truck in question had a sticker price of $42000.00. I think he was just trying to rattle my cage because I bought elsewhere. I any event, thats a poor way to do business. More
