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.

Great experience with AOM. Very friendly and an extremely easy transaction. I brought in my CRV with a broken starter and was back on the road the next day.
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!
very good thank them for efficient
My experience with Art of Maintenance was one of the best I’ve ever had in working with a mechanic! Kevin was honest, straight forward and got my car in and out for a great price and GREAT work. He understood what I needed and did just that. I will be using them again and recommending them to anyone who needs a good, honest and reliable shop. Thanks again guys!
Great work. Three shops befrore this one. They found my problem in 30 min.
Great place and great management!
Bought a used car with a long service history at this shop, so I gave them a try.
I’ve read some reviews here, and yes, these folks are busy. The three times I’ve been in (oil changes, routine maintenance) they’ve been honest, fair, and seemingly a little hurried.
Most recently after a serpentine belt replacement, I could tell it needed adjusting as it was making some noise (not a good sign). Man on phone tried to push me to the following week, but I pushed back. He heard me and got me in that day. It was a quick fix, they did it with a smile and of course, no charge.
I trust their mechanics and their service managers. Clean waiting area with wifi, restroom, tv and free cans of soda.
I had a great experience as well as a great follow up experience (I had to return due to me, not them!). And nice communication even after the job was completed.
The shop was amazing got me in took care what I needed fast and Kevin was great
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.
5 STARS!!! These guys were AMAZING! I called with a flat the day after Thanksgiving, when every Tire Center was slammed, and Portland Tire Center squeezed me in short-notice and got me back on the road! My travel plans were maintained due to such great service! Thank You Kevin!
I have known Jody for 5 yrs and Andy for 1 yr and they are very trustworthy and REALLY care about getting the work done right the first time. They are very knowledgeable and it is great that the shop is now under their new management. I recommend highly.
