Repairman can chime another way (8)
I believe the answer is:
mechanic
'repairman' is the definition.
(I know that mechanic is a type of repairman)
'can chime another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'chime'='canchime'
'canchime' is an anagram of 'MECHANIC'.
(Other definitions for mechanic that I've seen before include "Grease monkey" , "Skilled repairer" , "Expert in fixing cars and machinery" , "Mender of machines" , "Garage worker" .)
