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.

They where amazing , got me in and out for the holiday thank you Kevin
When we arrived at Art of Maintenance (after waiting for 2 hours for our AAA tow truck) it was just a few minutes before they closed. Thankfully they were really friendly and helped us right away. Our car was ready to pick up the next day, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service!
We use Art of Maintenance for both of our vehicles and love their service! Clean, friendly, and personable. It’s so nice to be able to take your car to someone you can trust, who obviously takes pride in their work and their small business.

Great guys. Took good care of me
My experience was wonderful. Precise information, clear cost estimates and great personal service. Any future repairs will be with Art of Maintenance.
I’ve taken two of my old, abused, neglected cars to these guys and they have done a fantastic job. The price tag was $$$ but that was not really a surprise given the condition of the vehicles.
They are professional, friendly and very thorough. Communication was great, I always felt like I knew what the plan was. The most recent vehicle was from 1989 and they went above and beyond to find, even fabricate, parts.
Highly recommended.
