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.

Unusual whining or rumbling sounds, especially during turns, could indicate differential issues.

Puddles or signs of leaking fluid near the differential might signal a problem.

Following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, typically every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, is important for differential health.

they made sure my car was Road ready for my holiday trip thank you Art of Maintenance

Robert Rush

Great service always

Jeffery Jackson

I love this place! Kevin was very up front and explained what all is involved in replacing an engine. They called every time they found something that was better, or wrong and offered me options. They kept me up to date with the progress and even cleaned my truck. They were very patient with me as I tried to make this huge payment with multiple accounts and even stayed after they were closed to go over what to not do, and what to do to maintaine the engine integrity. Thank you art of Maitenance

I went to them years ago (in ~2008), seeking a second opinion when Midas told me my 17-y-o car was headed for the scrapper. I took the car in and got a call later saying the car was mechanically fine, it just had “a good shake on it.” (It would vibrate all over when I was stopped at a red light.) I drove the car for two more years, then sold it to a friend, who drove it for another two years. Art of Maintenance gave me hope, and helped my car live as long as it possibly could. They were a knowledgable voice of reason and I will always appreciate them for that.

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!

You know your car never breaks down on a good day but when my car broke down in Portland these guys helped make a bad day better true professionals they helped Comfort my wife and my dog. we were traveling out of town . We tried other shops in town and no one could take care of us the same day. I would have no problem using these guys again or recommending them thank you again to Kevin and James and the team at Art of Maintenance

Robert McConnell

Got me on same day and gave me detailed info on diagnosis

Kevin at the Art of maintenance went above and beyond. I was having a terrible time with my old mechanic who could not find or fix a clunking sound in my suspension. After spending a couple grand there I took my car in exasperation to The Art of Maintenance. After gong through the car they recommended several mother thousand dollars worth of repairs that I needed that the previous mechanic had not found. After getting my car back from art of maintenance, three days later I started having major electrical issues and was forced to pull my car into the first mechanics place of business, it was right up the street from my work which is where I was headed. I was out of cash at the time from all of the maintenance costs and a costly surgical procedure. My car had to sit for 5 months while I recovered. Luckily the old mechanic said they would taxi my car over to AOM. AOM also said that they would just charge me costs for the parts and not the labor. With the surgery and the major car troubles it was considerably stressful. I am glad to have the car back and it runs great. hopefully for another 30k at least!

Big Red Button

I brought my car into the shop due to a condensation clogged and the same day i turned it in I noticed the light for a tire that was a little low came on. The tire is fine but I was interested to see if they would put some air in the tire and they did not. They fixed my main issue so good enough in my book, but wish they helped a little more for the amount paid.

ian bjorklund

These guys are great.

Art of Maintenance was quick and professional. I needed my alternator replaced in the middle of a road trip and they were able to get it done within hours. Great service and very nice people!
