Signs That It's Time for Differential Service
Your vehicle’s differential is crucial for distributing power between wheels, ensuring smooth turns, and maximizing traction. Over time, differential fluid can degrade, leading to increased friction and potential damage.
Whining Noises
Unusual whining or rumbling sounds, especially during turns, could indicate differential issues.
Leaking Fluid
Puddles or signs of leaking fluid near the differential might signal a problem.
Mileage or Maintenance Schedule
Following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, typically every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, is important for differential health.

Conner at the front counter was a huge help. Appreciated!
Brought in our old X5 for a radiator leak and James and Kevin were communicative and helpful when it turned into much more of an issue.
They were able to do the work very fast and super friendly and helpful.
I trust these folks with the possession I need the most and know the least about. They do great work for a fair price and they’re pleasant on top of that!
Kevin at the Art of Maintenance is the best. He always looks to save you money and still give you top quality service. They have always done a great job for me and my family. I have recommended them to several friends and I will continue to recommend them.
Great service they hand me in and fixed in 2 hours thanks Kevin
These guys are on point! I had a great experience from the time I called in to the time I rolled out. They were totally transparent and not pushy about anything. I was having an issue with a low idle and when I got it back the first time, the problem was still there. I brought it back in and they bumped me to the front of the queue and even did the extra work for FREE! Seriously glad I went to these guys and will be back if I ever need any mechanical help with my car. Ryan and Kevin (and everyone else at AoM) – THANK YOU!!!
they made sure my car was Road ready for my holiday trip thank you Art of Maintenance
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.
These guys are great.
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!
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.
