Brake Repair Services
What Makes Our Brake Service the Right Choice
Brakes aren’t something you gamble with, and that’s exactly why we treat every inspection with careful attention. Instead of rushing through the basics, we take our time examinig how your entire braking system behaves: pedal feedback, fluid condition, rotor surface, caliper movement, and even the subtle things most drivers don’t notice until it’s too late. Our technicians pair hands-on experience with high-quality parts and clean, precise workmanship, making sure the fix you get today keeps you safer tomorrow. Whether your commute is all city stops or weekend getaways, we want your braking power to feel solid, consistent, and effortlessly reliable. Brake Repair at Art of Maintenance is more than a service; it’s a promise that your car will respond exactly when you need it to.

How to Tell When Your Brakes Are Asking for Help
Your braking system has its own way of sending early warnings, and catching them early can make all the difference. Before noises get louder or stopping distances get longer, your car usually gives you hints, small changes that signal it’s time to schedule brake repair before things escalate. Paying attention to these moments not only keeps you safe but also helps prevent expensive repairs down the line. The sooner these symptoms are addressed, the better your system performs overall. Look for signs like:
Squeaking or scraping sounds during light braking
Squeaking or scraping sounds during light braking can be caused by worn brake pads, glazed rotors, debris or rust on the rotor surface, improperly lubricated caliper components, or misaligned brake hardware.
A brake pedal that feels softer or sinks lower
A brake pedal that feels softer or sinks lower is caused by air in the brake lines, a leak in the hydraulic system, worn master cylinder seals, contaminated brake fluid, or failing brake calipers or wheel cylinders.
A burning or metallic smell after frequent stopping
This can be caused by overheated brake pads or rotors, worn brake components causing excessive friction, dragging calipers, or contaminated brake fluid that reduces cooling efficiency.
A slight vibration when you slow down
A slight vibration when slowing down can be caused by warped brake rotors, uneven or worn brake pads, imbalanced wheels, worn suspension components, or misaligned wheel bearings.

This shop was able to accept my car early when I had a emergency coolant leak. The repairs were done in a day with regular maintenance and a window issue to boot. I recommend this professional and friendly shop.
Everyone was incredibly professional and informative. My car wouldn’t start so and AAA reccomended this shop as it was close to my house. They were extremely helpful and quick with serving my car! I was able to get detailed diagnostics and the starter replaced within 24 hours of dropping off my car. Highly reccomend!
Kevin did a great job
dud a great job
Alternator started going bad. Went in there at 3:00 pm by 4:00 pm the problem was fixed. Very nice people. One took my wife home while I waited for the repair.
Art of Maintenance is the only shop I’ll take my 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid.
Amazing staff and no-nonsense hospitality. They take care of you and the vehicle, and tell it to you straight.
They go above and beyond by providing you with a full detailed report sent to your phone. The report shows the urgency for each needed repair.
AoM is the best!
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.
These guys are great! They helped me out a few months ago as I was mid-move to Seattle and my transmission needed rebuilt in my Honda Fit. A quick 3 day turn around, great work, fair pricing with no hidden fees after service, and all around solid customer service! I highly recommend this shop for any car maintenance in the PDX area. They even covered my tow to the shop!

We took our vehicle to AOM just days after taking it to the dealership. While, vehicle repairs are the LAST expense you want to incur during the holidays, AOM made the experience easier to handle by keeping us informed of the problem, included us in the solution, and had the vehicle back to us when they said they would. THANK YOU AOM!
We’ve had our cars serviced here 3 times now and I continue to be impressed by their knowledge, timeliness, and communication about what is wrong. Great experience every time!
