When Your Vehicle Is Asking for Attention
Your car has its own way of speaking up, especially when the transmission starts acting out. Before things get worse, it’s important to listen for changes in shifting, sounds, and response. Early care keeps you safe, protects your engine, and saves you from bigger repairs later. Common signs to look out for:
Strange whining, humming, or grinding sounds
This is caused by low or contaminated transmission fluid, damaged gears, failing bearings, a worn torque converter, misaligned gear sets, or a failing transmission pump, all of which can disrupt proper lubrication and gear engagement.
Delayed or rough shifting
This may be caused by degraded transmission fluid, clogged transmission filters, worn clutch packs or bands, a faulty shift solenoid, valve body problems, or issues with the transmission control module, these issues interfere with hydraulic pressure and timing during gear changes.
A burning smell during or after driving
This can indicate overheated or burnt transmission fluid, low fluid levels causing excessive friction, slipping clutch packs, a failing torque converter, or internal components overheating due to clogged filters or restricted fluid flow.
Fluid leaking underneath your car
This is caused by damaged transmission pan gaskets, cracked transmission pans, corroded fluid lines, leaking axle seals, or a failing front or rear transmission seal, all of which can allow transmission fluid to escape and lead to low fluid levels and transmission damage.

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.
Check engine light came on they got me in and out in the same day ! With great service
Good honest and most importantly skillful people. Super helpful and affordable.
These folks are the most professional, fair, and genuine mechanics in Portland. Would not trust my truck with anyone else.
This place is absolutely amazing! I won’t be going anywhere else. I called the same day for help installing my front license plate bracket and they told me exactly what to do and let me come in asap. They were so kind and welcoming along with having an air conditioned waiting room with beverages. While I was there I went ahead and made a future appointment to fix a separate problem with my car. I could not recommend them more!
Great and fast service. Got me back on the road asap.
Great service…work was done in a timely fashion and even gave me a ride home while my car was being worked on. Loved getting the vehicle inspection link….very thorough.
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.
Brought my car in needing some major repairs and they were able to help me out right away. They’ve been nothing but efficient and helpful making this process so much easier than I expected!
Helpful in identitying the most important repairs, i felt listened to and was well informed of the diagnosis cost in advance.
I have been using this shop for years and have always been really pleased with the service. But last week I had an experience that amazed me. I had an issue with my car, brought it in, the guys did multiple checks and didn’t see anything wrong with it. They didn’t charge me anything, and told me I could come get it. Then a few days later I had another issue, they told me to bring it in right away and looked directly at it. It ended up there was a problem, they said it should be covered under warranty and advised me to call the dealer first. They made me feel super welcome, gave me specific tips and advice on how to speak with the dealer, and even arranged a tow truck to pick my car up. They didn’t charge anything for the time it took in helping me with all this and it really made me feel that they were looking out in my best interest as opposed to making money. It has reinforced once again my trust and commitment to always using this shop!
I’ve trusted my 1996 Ford Ranger pick up to this shop for the last two years. Very efficient and trustworthy. Work is completed on time and here’s a surprise, every once in a while Art of Maintenance will contact me to make sure my Ranger is performing as it should. Consider them.
