AAA Northeast buys Costello's Truck Repair for $1.7 million

WORCESTER — AAA Northeast has purchased the former Costello's Truck Service & Repair property at 315-317 Southwest Cutoff with plans for a fleet facility.

According to documents filed with the Worcester Registry of Deeds, AAA Northeast acquired the property for $1.79 million. AAA bought the property from a limited liability company known as ABS Real Estate managed by Costello's owner Robert Costello Jr.

The property was empty Wednesday afternoon with signage for the truck service business taken down. A fence was also placed in front of the property. A phone number listed on the business' website was not operational.

A spokesperson for AAA Northeast — which serves Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire and New Jersey — said AAA will use the property for a fleet facility for AAA vehicles.

The facility will replace a leased fleet facility property in Millbury.

Costello's offered fleet maintenance, mobile truck service and truck repairs, according to its website. In 2022, U-Haul Co. of Massachusetts and Ohio Inc. announced it signed Costello’s as a U-Haul neighborhood dealer, a nonfranchise business that committed lot space to U-Haul equipment.
