Art of Maintenance

I called before heading there to make sure they could get me in to diagnose a power steering leak. I got there around one or so, and the car wasn't looked at until the next morning. That's all fine and well. What was particularly wrong was this: their diagnosis was that the power steering pump was cracked (about $450), the lines "might" be leaking (bringing the pump up to about $750), and that the rack and pinion was leaking (about another $800 or so). This left me clearly stunned, as a fill of the pump lasted nearly a week-... read more

Terrible Experience!!! I wish I had read all of the negative reviews on Yelp before I took my car to Stan at Art of Maintenance! He did a shoddy job, overcharged me, and was incredibly rude and dishonest. I brought my car here after it was damaged in a break-in. Stan gave me an estimate of what each repair would cost, quoting $300 to fix the latch that pops the trunk! I told him to just leave it, it's not worth $300 to me. At this point he told me Lie # 1: He said I would be unable to lock the trunk if it was not fixed. I kn... read more

They once were great but things have changed. A water pump was quoted at $800, another shop did it for less than $70. A fuse box was $811 and incorrectly diagnossed. The other shop found a disconnected wire that fixed my problem and only charged 1/2 an hour labor.. Beware!

Top notch – I would say that while Art of Maintenance is not exactly cheap, their quality of work and knowledgeable professional mechanics are top notch. (and remember, it's true in life, you get what you pay for) I played around with several single owner shops in the area but I couldn't get a clear agreement. By paying AoM $99 to use their expertise to carefully examine my whole car, and then share what they found with me, they won and I won. I controlled costs while learning what I might do to repair my vehicle, if I chose... read more

The most polite mechanic shop – If someone asked me about my experience I would say that Stan must've had daughters because he talked me through my tears like a father would've!! Also, they went out of their way to help me. Having just had back surgery they arranged for one of the most polite young employee to give me a ride home when I had to leave my car there.Also, Justin was very helpful...and polite. I have decided that they are the most polite mechanic shop I've ever dealt with. I would recommend them to anyone and fee... read more

Great mechanic – These guys are great! They got my car on the rack quickly and performed a top notch service. Most importantly, they were super friendly and helpful, explained everything simply and made me feel totally comfortable. I'm going to make Art of Maintenance my regular mechanic.

Timely – Didn't talk down to me; performed the service in a timely manner; offered me a ride to/from my home in order that I didn't have to wait.

Honest Place!! – I brought my truck into the shop because my check engine light had been on several times. They could not find anything wrong even though they took it out several times. They didn't charge me, even though they had man hours to pay. As a female I always feel at a dis-advantage when finding an auto repair shop, but I appreciate that they didn't come up with any bogus charges! I think I found my go to auto repair shop! Thank you Justin. It's nice to get good honest customer service!
