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!

I had put off buying a new vehicle for a couple years because as a single woman who has never purchased a vehicle on her own before, it made me very nervous. Ronnie made me feel at ease from the beginnin because as a single woman who has never purchased a vehicle on her own before, it made me very nervous. Ronnie made me feel at ease from the beginning, answering all my questions and providing relevant information. He wasn’t pushy. He didn’t treat me like I had no clue what I was doing, even though I didn’t and I truly appreciated that and that’s why he got my business. Plus, he found me the perfect vehicle. The whole experience was quick and painless. More
