This is a super late review, but I I just love these guys SO much! About 20 years ago, my husband (then boyfriend) and I had taken a road trip and got stranded in Connecticut and had our car towed to their garage in Providence. Stayed a couple of extra days in town and remember it as such an amazing trip. We loved it and fell in love with RI forever. 😍 They repaired our car and had us back on the road in no time. Awesome people at Coletta's!

We deal with these guys weekly where I work. They have great customer service and huge resources at their facility. Lots of tow companies that are great but if you need towing and parts/services in trucking you cant go wrong here.

Crooked operation. They're licensed to steal your car and then charge you to pick it up at their convenience. Legal recourse? Well, it's not worth pursuing and that's why they're allowed to continue this practice. This is legalized theft.

Absolutely incredible work and service!!! I was so impressed with my vehicle. Not only did they exceed my every expectation my car was clean inside and out when I picked it up! Everyone was professional, friendly and concerned about my happiness. I will use Coletta's for all my towing and body needs. The workmanship is outstanding. You can trust them with your vehicle. Thank you Coletta's! You are the best.

This is a very scummy business. Last year, I parked in a parking lot of a local business and first walked to a separate store across the street. Returning to the parking lot 3min later, my car was being attached to a Coletta's tow truck. The man was very rude and told me I would have to pay him $85 on the spot to have my car detached, or my car would be towed to their facility where I would still have to pay a fee. I payed him on the spot, had my car detached, and immediately walked into the local business to speak with the manager. The manager told me he had hired Coletta's Garage to

Like an idiot I locked my keys in the car at night in Providence. The woman who answered the phone was so nice. She had someone dispatched and told me her driver would be there in about 30 minutes. She told me it would cost about $50, which was less than any other company quoted me that night. Her driver showed up in 15 minutes and it cost $45. He went right to work and there was no damage whatsoever on my car. He was incredibly professional, courteous and understanding. I will definitely be using them for all my future car needs. As for all the people complaining about them on this website

I have had only good experiences with this place. I chose it for convenience - they're located right near the hospital and let me drop the car off early and pick it up after work. They RIH employee discount didn't hurt either. But I have since found the employees at Coletta's to be helpful, courteous, efficient and honest. Sometimes the prices they charge are so fair it's hard to believe - I didn't know you could fix anything on a car for ten bucks.
I've never used their towing services so can't comment, but as for the shop itself I have no complaints.

I came here for car inspection. My car is running great for about 7 years! The check engine light on. They checked my car and then told me there are several sensors needed to be replaced. I asked how much AT MOST included labor. their manager gave me a price $750. But it's end up with $920. And before they fixed anything, they didn't tell me at all the price is even higher.

Just two examples, on the invoice, the oxygen sensor is $155. but I looked up on eBay. the highest price I can found is $49. camshaft sensor on their invoice is $90, but eBay's highest price is around $20.

Awful! Customer service is non existent at this place. The nicest one and most helpful was the guy who towed my vehicle in. Then the work that was done wasn't done properly and caused further damage to the existing problem. I do not i repeat do not!!! Recommend this place for any service done to your vehicle(s). If you do not believe me. You will see for yourself. They are a bunch of crooks. Worst service I could have received!

they have apparently been around for 50 years!
so very PVD.

love this place. they were professional, accommodating, quick + efficient.
just the way I like it.

they do inspections, repairs, towing...anything you need for your cah.
