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 contacted this dealership interested in a pro master 3500 they had for sale through a third party website. They immediately got back to me asking when I was available to come in. I had told them due to 3500 they had for sale through a third party website. They immediately got back to me asking when I was available to come in. I had told them due to my multiple professions, my time was limited and did not have time for the usual dealership kick around. I was set up with an appointment with Ryan. Instantly knew he was a human being, not a sales robot. Took me out for a ride. Loved the truck. Went over the numbers and within an hour and a half the deal was signed and I was in my way. They delivered the truck to my house clean, filled, and ready to go. As my fleet grows, there’s is a zero percent chance I will go anywhere else and will personally seek out Ryan. He’s a great guy with human emotion. I felt he made me feel like I was dealing with a friend and did not feel like another Talley on the sale sheet. Overall excellent experience. More
