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.

I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now, quality of service and cleanliness of the shop itself is impeccable. It’s not fun to *need* a head gasket replaced, or any repair for that matter, but they are always kind, honest and informative. Haven’t been to a better shop yet!
I can’t say enough amazing things about these guys! I have brought my old s10 pickup to numerous places over the years and this is the ONLY place I will ever go to from here on out. Not only are James, Kevin and the entire team genuinely friendly and professional, they have fixed numerous issues that no one else had been able to diagnose. Not only that but they installed mud flaps and an old bulb for free since it only took them 20 mins, I mean what other shop cares about loyalty this much? Art of Maintenance is by far the best in town. Won’t go anywhere else!
These folks are the most professional, fair, and genuine mechanics in Portland. Would not trust my truck with anyone else.
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!
Got the brakes diagnosed and replaced on my 1990 Mercedes. They did an excellent job diagnosing the brakes’ status, letting us know what was needed and then replaced as needed. They were timely, professional and didn’t try to ‘upsell’ us into more expensive work (a big, big PLUS!). We’ll be back.
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
Car is running great thanks to this guy . Awsome shop
Really impressed on my first visit. Got the work turned around really quickly. Car’s running great!
We took our 2013 Chevy Sonic 1.4L, Turbo, to AOM for an inspection of output shaft seal & oil change. We chose them because we volunteer nearby, and they could work on our car while we volunteer. They provided us with an inspection report that included pictures. After reviewing the report and going over the potential charges, we authorized them to complete the recommended services, which included oil change, new spark plugs, brake fluid flush, fuel injection service, output shaft seal replacement, drain and refill manual transmission fluid and replacing all shocks and strut assemblies and rear springs. This cost $2,818.00. We were in a bit of shock at the price, but that being said, this car has never given us a bit of trouble since buying it new, so we decided this money was well spent. We have had all the manufacturer-recommended maintenance done at the dealer all along. A dealer may have charged as much or more. The services performed by AOM were needed as evidenced by the pictures they took during the inspection and during the repairs themselves. Our car is running like new, and the repairs are guaranteed for 5 years, 50,000 miles NATIONWIDE. So, yes, it was expensive and worth it. We feel we got our money’s worth. Thank you, Ryan and Kevin.
I’ve been going to Art of Maintenance for about a year. It’s a nice clean shop and everyone I have talked to there was great. They seem to be honest – haven’t tried to talk me into anything I didn’t need. I haven’t had anything too major done there – oil change, windshield wiper repair, new brakes. So far so good!
The fix my brakes and did a great job
Great service.
