Edit 2026 ( original review in 2019): And after 6 years you finally reponded to my review. Lol!
If you’re in Chatham and need a mechanic, go to Chemali Automotive.
I spent months chasing a front-end rattle on my Toyota Highlander. Took it to a Toyota dealership twice and another shop — paid for inspections — and nobody could find the issue. I was told everything was “fine” or that I might need major work like struts.
Chemali diagnosed it immediately.
It turned out to be worn sway bar bushings and failing CV axles — exactly what multiple other mechanics missed. He fixed it properly, and the difference is night and day.
This is what a real mechanic looks like: accurate diagnosis, no guesswork, no upselling, just competence.
Best mechanic in Chatham. Highly recommend.
Charlie is a very transparent and honest mechanic. Brought my vehicle in a few times and in the shop and out if any questions needed to be answered to help diagnose the issue.
One for the wheel hub which he did his best to bring the price down. One due to my vehicle not turning over, diagnosed to be a high pressure fuel pump, and then another issue popped up and quickly found out it was a melted temperature sensor.
Very affordable rates. Wouldn’t go back to dealerships charging me an arm and a leg.
Charlie and his team is the best at what they do. If there's any place in and around Chatham that I wouldn't hesitate to take my car into then that would be Chemali. Would give it higher than 5 star if I could.
