Does anyone know who can provide restoration to a 1995 Buick Park Avenue? ---

There are restoration shops all across America, some better than others. But a 95 Buick? ---

Would like the OP to come back, the only 90s Buick I would want to keep is the full size Roadmaster Estate Wagon, even then I would prefer a pre-1972 Ford or Mercury wagon. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/4/1/413554fcca3625cabca3c30612f61fd1b64b4aec.jpeg) ---

A friend of mine used a shop in Anchorage, Alaska. Is that a convenient location for you? ---

Hi @Jg32: Have you taken a look at the Buick Club of America site? It’s at [www.buickclub.org/](http://www.buickclub.org/) There is a lot of great information there. ---

For a car that new I’d just find a good body shop and a good independent mechanic, they should get it back in shape with no problem. What exactly needs restoring? ---

Thanks for your reply. There is rust on the body and undercarriage. The inside is fine. The car currently has 63k miles on it. There is also some scratches and dents on the body. ---

I’m looking to restore it because I’m the 3rd generation owner. It’s more about the sentimental value. ---

I have been to a few shops. One suggested I drive it to the junk yard. The other didn’t seem interested in working on it. ---

Those responses are what is known as a clue that you will spend a lot of money for no reason . Sentimental it may be but being road worthy may be out of the question . ---

> [@Jg32](#): > > I have been to a few shops. One suggested I drive it to the junk yard. The other didn’t seem interested in working on it. That tells me the rust is extensive. It’ll be many thousands to get this car fixed, why not find a clean one of that age and buy it? ---

I received that recommendation as well but I have not been able to find one like the one I have. It’s interesting that not many are available for purchase. [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/1995-buick-park-avenue-looking-for-a-restoration-company/182645.md?page=2)
