Citroën Restoration Specialists in Vermont

Craftsmanship Without Compromise

The Citroën specialists of Milton, Vermont, and a full service restoration shop for every classic. Full restoration, fabrication, and paint from frame to finish. Every vehicle receives the same relentless standard from the moment it arrives to the moment it goes home.

The Citroën Specialists

Our Citroën expertise runs deep. In 2024 Trinity acquired Burnham Citroën, the respected marque specialist founded by Dave Burnham in Delanson, New York, and carried its decades of knowledge forward into a new chapter.

Citroën is in our blood. From the hydropneumatic suspension that lets a DS glide over any road to the LHM hydraulic systems that baffle most shops, we understand what makes these cars extraordinary and exactly what it takes to keep them that way.

Whether your Citroën needs a full ground up restoration, a delicate hydraulic rebuild, rare parts sourced from around the world, or simply an expert who speaks its language, Trinity is the shop classic Citroën owners across New England trust.

Welcome to Trinity Restoration, where automotive craftsmanship meets perfection. Our passion for precision and unparalleled expertise has made us the destination of choice for those who demand nothing but the best for their esteemed vehicles.

Built For Those Who Know The Difference

At Trinity Restoration, we don't do quick flips or corner-cutting resprays. We dismantle history, catalog it, and painstakingly rebuild it to a standard that often exceeds factory original.

When you hand us the keys, you're not just getting a mechanic. You're getting artisans who respect the metal, honor the heritage, and obsess over the details you might never even see.

Our capabilities span metal, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, and a range of other substrates. When the parts don't exist, we build them. From a single custom panel to a complete scratch build, Trinity has the skill and the tools to make it happen.

About Trinity Restoration

Johnathon Choquette was born and raised in Vermont and there has never been a time when there wasn't an automobile in his garage being restored. His passion for body work started at a young age through a deep love of art, which led him to become a commercial artist. He loved airbrushing and specifically painting murals on cars, and that passion blossomed into full paint jobs and a career in the collision industry.

In 2024 that pursuit of better cars led Johnathon to acquire Burnham Citroën, the storied Citroën specialist established by Dave Burnham in Delanson, New York. He expanded the business into a full restoration service, moved it to a larger facility in Milton, Vermont, and assembled a team of highly skilled artisans and technicians who share his obsession with doing things right.

Trinity Paint, Body and Fabrication was founded with the mission of unmatched customer service at its core. His expertise spans metal, aluminum, fiberglass, and plastic, and when a part simply does not exist, the Trinity team designs and builds it. His clients receive white glove treatment through excellent communication, transparent pricing, full accountability throughout every stage of the process, pick up and delivery, and his personal inspection of every automobile before it heads home to its owner.
