There appear to be two kinds of people who use cars in this world. One type is familiar with Chiltons as a name in the automotive world, the other type knows Chiltons as a furniture manufacturer from Portland, Maine, and the latter type turns to the former whenever they have a problem with their vehicles. Those of us who are unfamiliar with both, though, need to consider a remedial course not only in furniture inspired by the Shakers but also in car repairs.

If you’re speaking about furniture, then the word applies to descendants of Mary Chilton who created a corporation in Maine following the Civil War; her father was James Chilton, a passenger aboard the Mayflower at a time when horse power meant actual horses. If you’re speaking about vehicles, then you’re talking about automotive repair .

While not everyone owns furniture from this 135 year old Maine-based manufacturer, many people own a car. Whether that vehicle is brand new or recently refurbished, it pays to know more about your vehicle than you do about your cherry wood tables. In case you haven’t taken advantage of the sites online for car repair, it’s probably clear to you to which type of friend you’ll need to turn.
