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.

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!
* 2nd UPDATE read below*
Art of Maintenance is the best! this place is convenient, friendly, and down right reasonable for me. This review is a bit late, but I visited in the summer of 2018. I got recommended to visit after my tire flattened with a nail and my cigarette lighter blew out. The crew squeezed my car in and immediately worked on it (I should mention it wasn’t too busy). I got my car back after a couple of hours with a perfect patched tire and fixed burned out fuse. Amazing! They were quick, responsive, and again FRIENDLY. I unfortunately forgot the gentlemen who helped me at the front counter. You guys rock! I am hoping to come check my car in sometime, but just wanted to show my appreciation for the help!
– UPDATE**CHECKED MY CAR**
Got my car checked a few months later and customer service is great but they are like other places where they check for everything (which could be good) and try to get you to spend a lot of money to change parts and even major vehicle components. Basically went there for a checkup and emphasized I wanted an oil change. Ended up spending $100 with a list of things wrong and how I will need to spend thousands to fix my car. The part that got me down was the fact I didn’t get an oil change lol IF ONLY THERE WAS A SHOP THAT WAS ABLE TO BALANCE BETWEEN THINGS YOU “SHOULD” and “HAVE” TO GET. But hey it’s a business so you gotta be like that sometimes. I might go back if my car ever needs those changes. Again they are nice people tho!
They got me in the same day and fixedy alternator to thank you
Great service they hand me in and fixed in 2 hours thanks Kevin
This place was great. They helped go through every concern with my vehicle inspection and gave great advice on how to proceed. I had a quick, professional, comprehensive, and friendly experience and will absolutely be coming back. Shout-out to James for going over everything with me and Robert for all the hard work.
They where amazing , got me in and out for the holiday thank you Kevin
Woke up with a flat tire drove straight here. They had me in and out before I could get my Starbucks order from next door. Excellent customer service. Thank you guys!
The folks here have been super friendly and helpful. Plus the work they’ve done has been on target for estimates I got other places. Super convenient location too!
They got me in took care of my vehicle fixed everything that was wrong. The guy there are nice and have great customer service.
The Art of Maintenance team got our old pickup back on the road after someone destroyed the ignition trying to steal it. They also did an oil change, tuneup and took care of some deferred maintenance issues. Great communication during the diagnostic stage, did what they said they would do and had all the work done in a timely fashion. Highly recommend.
The general manager was very helpful and polite. My brakes felt so good on the ride home and I definatly plan on going back for the rest of my car troubles. Super fast and friendly, great communication.
Extremely fast service. Took my car in and they had it fixed the next day
