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.

Quality service! Kevin and the staff were friendly & done in a timely manner. Will come back again!
Kevin and his guys have patiently and expertly replaced or repaired almost every single mechanical part on my completely worn-out rare classic muscle car (65 Barracuda). Everywhere I go people marvel at my show car. It functions like a brand-new car.I never hesitate to give the credit to Art of Maintenance.
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!
Had my jeep die and the got it in and iut the same day in time for me to go to wotk , great guys
Alternator started going bad. Went in there at 3:00 pm by 4:00 pm the problem was fixed. Very nice people. One took my wife home while I waited for the repair.
Kevin, Ryan and the team at Art of Maintenance are tops!!! I have brought many jobs to them and they have never failed. They’re helpful, informative, affordable and trustworthy! They respect my budget and best of all they have always been on time with their completion dates! I recommend them highly!!!
Great service, got me in the day I called. Good fair price on oil change.
Friendly service! Everything that was recommended I needed was explained to me and the price was amazing …
Great advice and work from The Art of Maintenance team! James really helped me figure out the best way to move forward with my vehicle. Definitely will be a returning customer thank you!
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.
Great, fast and high quality service. They clearly explained all to me
Brought in our old X5 for a radiator leak and James and Kevin were communicative and helpful when it turned into much more of an issue.
