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.

We had a wonderful experience car shopping with Joe Mount at Heritage Toyota last weekend! I was initially anxious going into the dealership, but Joe immediately set me and my husband at ease. He was kind, at Heritage Toyota last weekend! I was initially anxious going into the dealership, but Joe immediately set me and my husband at ease. He was kind, friendly, patient, and helpful in the extreme. He answered all our questions, was very transparent about the things on his end, and never pressured us on any of our decisions or pushed to get more than what we wanted. I ended up leasing a car through Joe, and he also helped my husband with starting the process of leasing his own car. Heritage didn't have exactly what my husband wanted when we were there, but Joe introduced us to and walked us through their deposit program. For a refundable $1000 fee, my husband was able to reserve the car he wants, and Joe and the team at Toyota worked on finding him his dream car. We heard from Joe two days later that they found a match, and that we will likely have it within the next two months. Matt handled the finance piece of things, and our experience with him was equally seamless. He explained things well, was super friendly and personable and again did not pressure us about buying anything extra. Awesome experience overall. Definitely recommend and am excited to return to them in the future. More

I can't say enough about how good my experience was leasing my new Tacoma at Heritage Toyota. Joe Mount was amazing to work with, I mentioned to him how much I didn't like the process of "vehicle shop leasing my new Tacoma at Heritage Toyota. Joe Mount was amazing to work with, I mentioned to him how much I didn't like the process of "vehicle shopping " and he completely changed my views on it. He was kind and helpful thevery step of the way. He got me into the perfect truck for me at a payment that works for me. I also had a great experience with Matt and Christine in finance and Lexi online. Wonderful experience all the way around. I'm very happy and will recommend highly. Thanks Joe! More

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
