I took my car in and got a oil change, Kevin was very nice . Their technician Ashton even washed my windows . I will definitely be bringing it back for all my maintenance and repairs
The team at Art of Maintenance is fantastic. They treated my car as if it was their own. One shop told me I needed new brakes and I brought to Art of Maintenance for second quote and they said I was good for a while longer on brakes even though it meant loss of business for them. They will be my new auto shop moving forward!
This place dosea great job got me in and out
They always do a top notch job and leave me with a car running better than before! I’ve used them ever since moving to Portland and I plan to stay with them!
They had my car done in a day. They were professional and even helped me finance the repairs when I didn’t have enough funds to cover all the costs. I will be using Art of Maintenance for any future repairs and preventative maintenance. Kevin was professional and kind.
Just had them do some work on my work van and they did a great job .
They were able to do the work very fast and super friendly and helpful.
So I bought an old van (1997) to convert to a camper van and these folks have been great at helping me get this old thing road ready. I have more items to fix as my budget allows and this is where I plan on getting all the repairs done. James and Conner have been particularly nice to have on my side. Thanks guys.
They worked on my 2003 lexus ES 300 thanks for the work that was done
