For over 100 years the Hertrich name has
been synonymous with growth in the automotive industry. From our inception, the
company philosophy has been simply to "Sell cars; Satisfy customers", with the
emphasis always on the customer's needs.
From Frederick W. Hertrich's modest
immigrant beginnings in 1903 as a Gear-maker, then Engineer for Buick,
Hertrich's has grown into "One of the top 100 Dealer Groups in the United
States" (Ward's Automotive). With eight dealerships in three states, fifteen
franchises and over 500 employees the Hertrich Family of Dealerships is still
exploring new possibilities. Both third and fourth generation family members
are actively leading us into a bright future.
The first decade of this century heralds
several expansion projects which exemplify the family's forward thinking:
Open January 2007, a 23 acre state of the art dealership complex on busy Route
1, just north of Milford, Delaware offers customers dramatic and comfortable
surroundings, unmatched selection, and unequalled service. It is the largest
facility on the eastern shore.
Another brand new sales and service center is under construction on seven acres in Dover, Delaware.
This 41,000 square foot dealership will replace the existing Capital Lincoln
Mercury, Mazda, Isuzu Store at the same expanded location on Route 13.
We are also in the process of planning
another facility in Denton, Maryland, adjacent to the newly acquired Wayside
Body Shop, the premier body shop on the Peninsula. This expanded, new
construction will replace the existing Hertrich Chevy Dodge building and is
slated to be in operation by 2008.
