Coastal Diesel Service is a family-owned business that has been serving eastern NC since 1974. 
​

The store was originally opened by husband and wife Mr and Mrs Henry Bahr, back then the biggest drive in revenue was the Fuel Shop that specialised in injection pump repairs.

​

In April 1978, Mr and Mrs Bahr sold the company to Tom and Ruthie Bland who together created the Coastal Diesel we all know today. Over the years Tom, Ruthie and the team developed to best meet the needs of their customers, through the expansion of a fully stocked warehouse, fuel injection repair facility and fully equipped diesel engine and generator repair service department. They took pride on delivering the highest standard of customer care, keeping the customer at the center of everything they acheived.
​

2023 marked the year of retirement for Tom, where he passed the baton to the next generation and sold his company to Reed and Abbie Sheffield - both current employees at the time. 

​

Statement from the new owners:

​

"While ownership is changing, our commitment to excellence in both quality and customer service will remain. We willstrive to honor Tom's legacy with the same ambition and pride that he himself so diligently displayed in all his years as owner. 
We would like to thank all of our customers and very much look forward to serving you in the years to come. Lastly, thank you to our dedicated staff of co-workers for standing with us during this transition, we are extremely grateful to you all."

​
Coastal Diesel is continually improving their standards and appreciate regular feedback so we can continue to meet the needs of our customers.
