When Your Vehicle Is Asking for Attention
Your car has its own way of speaking up, especially when the transmission starts acting out. Before things get worse, it’s important to listen for changes in shifting, sounds, and response. Early care keeps you safe, protects your engine, and saves you from bigger repairs later. Common signs to look out for:
Strange whining, humming, or grinding sounds
This is caused by low or contaminated transmission fluid, damaged gears, failing bearings, a worn torque converter, misaligned gear sets, or a failing transmission pump, all of which can disrupt proper lubrication and gear engagement.
Delayed or rough shifting
This may be caused by degraded transmission fluid, clogged transmission filters, worn clutch packs or bands, a faulty shift solenoid, valve body problems, or issues with the transmission control module, these issues interfere with hydraulic pressure and timing during gear changes.
A burning smell during or after driving
This can indicate overheated or burnt transmission fluid, low fluid levels causing excessive friction, slipping clutch packs, a failing torque converter, or internal components overheating due to clogged filters or restricted fluid flow.
Fluid leaking underneath your car
This is caused by damaged transmission pan gaskets, cracked transmission pans, corroded fluid lines, leaking axle seals, or a failing front or rear transmission seal, all of which can allow transmission fluid to escape and lead to low fluid levels and transmission damage.

Great work. Three shops befrore this one. They found my problem in 30 min.
Great, fast and high quality service. They clearly explained all to me
I took my 2012 MAZDA MX-5 Touring to get a baseline of what might be needed since it was a relatively newer purchase for me. While I was sticker shocked at first, looking over the estimate it made sense, and I didn’t feel any pressure with the decision making. I am completely satisfied with the customer service from the front of the house AND the back of the house, having met Mike, the mechanic who actually worked on my car – it was great!
I have been coming to Art of Maintenance for over 6 years. They have always done excellent work. As a female that doesn’t know anything about car issues I never feel like they are going to take advantage. They explain the repairs so I can understand and let me know the cost upfront. They work with me to prioritize the repairs vs cost. They are great communicators as well. My car is a subaru. And the waiting room always smells really good! Ryan did and awesome job for me today and Kevin is always great!
I trust these guys with my car and to let me know what really needs to get taken care of and what I should keep an eye on.
They were not pushy or anything like that. This is my first choice when I need work on my car.
Brought my car in needing some major repairs and they were able to help me out right away. They’ve been nothing but efficient and helpful making this process so much easier than I expected!
Great service they hand me in and fixed in 2 hours thanks Kevin
Very happy with the service. They did a great on my car!
Great service verry fast
We were stuck out of town on our vacation, and found art of maintenance online , Kevin was very helpful getting us back on the road in a timely manner. Didn’t even charge us for a rain x treatment on our windshield!
Great customer service!
I have gone to this place a few times in the past, I had interacted with Kevin each time I was there. It was the holiday season and they where a little busy, I needed new breaks and new parts for the engine, originally it was thought that I’d be ready in January 3rd, unfortunately I was to move out of Portland on the 1st so I needed my car. I explained the situation to Kevin who was very professional and transparent, he was able to get things fixed for me sooner so that I’d be able to move out on time. Itd be easy for other people in his position to just throw their hands up and say “it is what it is” but he went the extra mile to as helpful and dexterous as possible, which shows that which shows that Art of Maintenance is committed to helping their customers.
