Why Our 4 Wheel Drive Service Stands Out
Your 4 Wheel Drive system isn’t just about raw power, it’s about the confidence you feel every time you hit the road. Whether you’re climbing steep hills, navigating gravel trails, or handling slick turns, every component in your drivetrain has to work together. Our team doesn’t just glance under the hood; we take the time to test, diagnose, and fine-tune everything from the transfer case to the differentials, making sure your gears shift smoothly and your traction stays rock solid.
We go beyond the basics with high-quality fluids, precise calibration tools, and years of hands-on experience to keep your vehicle performing at its best. We know how important balance, control, and durability are, so we treat your 4 Wheel Drive system like the backbone it truly is. Every inspection and adjustment at Art of Maintenance is done with care, so you can feel confident in your car’s reliability and performance, no matter where the road, or trail, takes you.

When It’s Time for a Check
Your car gives subtle clues when your 4WD system isn’t working at its best. Paying attention early can save you from costly repairs down the road. These signs might seem small, but they’re your vehicle’s way of asking for attention before something major fails. If you notice any of the signs below, it’s time to let our technicians take a closer look.
Difficulty engaging or disengaging 4WD mode
Difficulty engaging or disengaging 4WD mode can be caused by issues such as a faulty transfer case actuator, damaged shift linkage, low or contaminated transfer case fluid, worn drivetrain components, or electrical problems within the 4WD control system.
Unusual grinding or clicking sounds
Unusual grinding or clicking sounds while using four-wheel drive can be caused by worn transfer case gears, damaged front or rear differential components, failing CV joints, improperly engaged 4WD hubs, or low or contaminated transfer case fluid.
Uneven traction or slipping on wet terrain
This can be caused by worn or improperly inflated tires, a malfunctioning transfer case or differential, uneven tire sizes, faulty locking hubs, or issues with the vehicle’s traction control system that prevent power from being distributed evenly to all wheels.
Warning lights or dashboard alerts
Warning lights or dashboard alerts while using four-wheel drive can be triggered by a faulty transfer case actuator, malfunctioning wheel speed sensors, electrical or wiring issues, low transfer case fluid, or a problem within the vehicle’s 4WD control module.

Kevin and his team at the Art of maintenance were awesome! They made sure I was kept in the loop of what was going on with my car during the repairs. They were very kind and just a great team to work with not to mention they got the repairs done in a timely manner. I will definitely be back next time I need work done and will be referring my friends and family to Kevin. Thanks again everyone!
Would definitely recommend. Kevin was very friendly and knowledgeable of what the issue was with my truck. They had me back on the road in no time.
Very happy with the service. They did a great on my car!
Came for a minor seatbelt issue and was helped right away, free of charge! Very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!
The only place I will take my Mustang
Nice people and always take good care of my 2007 Prius!
Fast and great service
Took my Husbands truck in for some
Work. The staff was professional, Knowledgeable and friendly. Kevin called me and walked us through what needed to be done step by step. Service was quick and The price was very fair. We will be bringing our business back here.
Looking for a brake job, they got me in and out in the same day with great service and warranty. I will be back for all my car needs. Thanks Kevin.
After someone punched a hole in my gas tank over the holidays, Kevin and the team at Art of Maintenance helped me out. They were very professional and managed to replace the gas tank and return my truck to me the same day! I was not expecting such a quick turnaround, but it made the whole situation a little bit better.
I’ll absolutely go back to Art of Maintenance for other repairs.
Great guys. Took good care of me
This place is great! They accept walk-ins and warned about it taking a while to look at my truck, yet only an hour later they had already looked at it and were working solutions. By the end of the day they were finishing up and only waiting on factory parts from a local source to finish the repair. The next morning I had my truck back purring like a kitten. Given the circumstances and how much time they had to spend with it, the price of the repair was more than reasonable. It is not often you find a repair place like this. Faster, better, and cheaper than a dealer and much more communicative and professional that most local shops. Highly recommended!
