Its two locations in Providence service all of Rhode Island as well as southern and southeastern Massachusetts.

Fred Pacheco, vice president of operations, says, "I’m confident that the Auto Pride Network will provide us with the additional tools necessary to expand our market share."
With this addition, the Auto Pride Network reaches a total of 66 members across North America with over 200 distribution points. "We consider ourselves a family and these two new members will be an excellent addition to the Network," says Steve Tucker, Auto Pride vice president.
