About Chestnut Avenue Auto Service
The guys at Chestnut are some of the most sincere and humble guys you’ll meet. If you’ve owned a car for any length of time, you probably know that finding a reputable mechanic you can trust is no easy feet. Enter Matt, Pat, Bob, and Jimmy. I started taking my vehicle to these guys in 2016 when we were new to the neighbourhood, and now I’ll never go anywhere else. They won’t recommend something you don’t need, they won’t nickel and dime you: they are just honest guys who care about you and your car. They will learn your name in no time (a wild experience the first time they use it) and you will recognize that, at Chestnut Ave Auto, you’re in good company.
About the Project
Wanting to raise general awareness of their shop after the rollercoaster that has been COVID, we collaborated on a video that was going to showcase not only what these guys can do, but very much why they do it. The reason customers choose Chestnut Avenue Auto isn’t because the guys who work here (all 4 of them) are the best at what they do (although I bet you could make a strong case for it). The reason you take your car here is because you can trust them to take care of you. We wanted to put that in video.
In the end, we ended up with a micro documentary that was entirely unscripted but came out of just sitting down and having a conversation. As you can see, I wasn’t exaggerating about how sincere these guys are about what they do.
With the finished product all polished and ready to go, this micro documentary will live on the social media platforms the Chestnut Avenue guys utilize in order to give prospective customers a glimpse behind the curtain, and to give them a little peace of mind that there’s no better auto shop in Hamilton.
