Volkswagen Repair & Service in Longview, WA
Volkswagen owners are a loyal crowd. Some are on their third Jetta. Others have a TDI wagon with 250,000 miles on it and no plans to sell. Art's Automotive has been taking care of cars in Longview since 1965, and we're glad to help VW drivers from Longview , Castle Rock, and Winlock keep putting miles on the cars they like.
Trustworthy Volkswagen Repair
We work on the Jetta, Golf, GTI, Golf R, Passat, Beetle, Tiguan, Atlas, Taos, and the TDI diesels many locals still drive. Our technicians know the 1.8T and 2.0T gas engines and the common-rail diesels inside and out, and our scan tools reach VW-specific modules for coding and adaptations.
Volkswagen and Audi share many parts and platforms, so our experience carries across both brands. Whether you need timing belt replacement on a TDI or transmission service on a GTI, we've done it before.

How often does a VW DSG transmission need service?
Wet-clutch DSG transmissions, found in models like the GTI, Golf R, and many TDIs, call for a fluid and filter change about every 40,000 miles. Skipping it can lead to harsh shifts and expensive mechatronic unit repairs. Some smaller engines use a dry-clutch DSG with different needs, and we'll confirm which one your car has before recommending anything.
When does my TDI need a new timing belt?
Every VW TDI engine uses a timing belt, and while the factory interval varies by engine and year, many owners choose to replace it around 100,000 miles rather than push their luck. These are interference engines, so a broken belt can let the valves and pistons collide. We replace the belt, tensioner, idlers, and water pump together so the whole system starts fresh.
Why is my VW's check engine light on with a misfire code?
Failed ignition coils and worn spark plugs are the most common causes of misfires on VW gas engines. On direct-injected engines, carbon buildup on the intake valves can cause rough running too. We confirm the cause with testing before replacing parts, and a tune-up often gets things smooth again. Call (360) 423-0890 to get it looked at.
