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!
Got a used Jeep Liberty that ended up needing a bunch of maintenance work that comes along with buying a used car, so I took it to Art of Maintenance and they fixed it up good as new. They were good about communicating what issues they came across and called to review the recommended services to get my OK before proceeding. The Jeep is working great now and luckily they are right down the street from my house so it will be convenient to take it there for oil changes, etc. going forward.
This shop is top notch and is very helpful
Great service!
The Art of Maintenance team got our old pickup back on the road after someone destroyed the ignition trying to steal it. They also did an oil change, tuneup and took care of some deferred maintenance issues. Great communication during the diagnostic stage, did what they said they would do and had all the work done in a timely fashion. Highly recommend.
These guys are great.
My ignition switch was almost completely done for in my car. They quickly fixed it for me on short notice (a day and a half) and quoted me about $400 less than another shop in the area. Thank you!
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 where able to get me in the same day , very freindly and I will ne back, this is not my first time and will not be my last. Very professional , accurate and honest
Had my oil pan replaced yesterday. Amazingly fast service! They also did a complete vehicle checkup on this older car and gave some tips on what needs to be done to keep everything working. Got more than I expected and paid less than quote. 5 stars for sure. Will use them again.
Car is running great thanks to this guy . Awsome shop
Very thorough and professional
