Diesel isn’t just for trucks. Many drivers in the Portland metro rely on diesel cars and SUVs for their efficiency, performance, and long life. At Rob’s Automotive Repair Center in Clackamas, OR, we specialize in diesel car repair and maintenance—from Volkswagen TDI to Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and other light-duty diesel vehicles. If you’re searching for diesel car repair near me, we provide dealership-level expertise with the convenience and care of a trusted local shop.

Common Diesel Car Problems We Fix

European and light-duty diesel cars are efficient, but they often face unique issues. We regularly repair:

  • Glow plug failures causing hard starts

  • Turbocharger faults resulting in loss of boost
  • Fuel injector & high-pressure pump problems
  • EGR valve & carbon buildup issues reducing efficiency
  • Check engine lights tied to emissions or fuel system faults

We don’t just clear codes—we find the root cause and apply lasting solutions.

Diesel Car Maintenance Services

Preventive care keeps diesel cars reliable for hundreds of thousands of miles. Our services include:

  • Oil & filter changes using the correct Euro-spec oils
  • Fuel filter replacements at factory intervals
  • Timing belt service (especially for VW/Audi diesels)
  • Intake & EGR cleaning to prevent carbon buildup
