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 love these guys. They go out of their way to keep in touch.
The best shop in town !!! They take great care of my truck and my wife’s car !! Kevin is always amazing to work with
Kevin and his team at the Art of maintenance were awesome! They made sure I was kept in the loop of what was going on with my car during the repairs. They were very kind and just a great team to work with not to mention they got the repairs done in a timely manner. I will definitely be back next time I need work done and will be referring my friends and family to Kevin. Thanks again everyone!
These guys are great. They are honest, quick and they do good work. Customer service is outstanding as well!
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.
Very happy with the service. They did a great on my car!
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!
Great mechanic
My ignition switch was almost completely done for in my car. They quickly fixed it for me on short notice (a day and a half) and quoted me about $400 less than another shop in the area. Thank you!
The fellas performed a transmission fluid & filter replacement on my Silverado right before Christmas. Friendly and prompt overnight service. I will be returning for future repairs.
This is the only place I bring both of my cars to have work done, they are honest about what needs to be done and I also get a copy of the machine read out sent to my phone. The manager Kevin is knowledgeable has always taken care of any issue questions I may have and explains it so I understand unlike other place I tried in the past where they would talk down to me like I’m just another dumb female bothering them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have any kind of work done from a simple oil change to major work.
We were stuck out of town on our vacation, and found art of maintenance online , Kevin was very helpful getting us back on the road in a timely manner. Didn’t even charge us for a rain x treatment on our windshield!
