Meet Ronald "Diesel" Arruda, one of Colonial's top salesmen-and a legend in his own right. Born and raised in Fairhaven, Ronald earned his nickname "Diesel" the hard way. When he first started as a lot tech, he was sent to New York to pick up a dump truck. Instead of gas, he made the rookie mistake of filling it with diesel fuel-and let's just say, it was a "memorable" learning experience! But from that moment on, Ronald became the go-to guy for everything vehicles, and the rest is history. Fast forward to today, and Ronald is one of our top salespeople, known for his deep knowledge, sharp skills, and down-to-earth approach. Whether you're buying a rugged Jeep, powerful Ram, or stylish Chrysler, "Diesel" will make sure you get the best deal with a side of laughs and great conversation. Come meet Ronald at Colonial, and you'll quickly see why he's one of our most trusted sales experts-plus, you might hear a few diesel stories along the way!
