Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow:
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 nine dealerships in three states, sixteen 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 was just constructed on seven acres in Dover, Delaware. This 41,000 square foot dealership replaced the original Capital Lincoln Mercury, Mazda, Isuzu Store at the same expanded location on Route 13.
We are also in the process of planning a new 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 begin construction in the near future.
