Great place to get just about any type of work done to your late-model Mustang. The owner Robert is a Mustang enthusiast and a down to earth guy. Shop is 15 minutes from me so it's a win all around for me.

Whatever car needs you have this is the shop to bring it to, period. They’re the only ones that I Trust touching my 2019 Mustang to the point that im willing to drive from Pasadena down. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thanks for being spot on, I Will continue to vouch for them and bring my car here.

I took my 05 kenne bell mustang here. My car was originally built and tuned by Spankintime Performance. I needed a tune after accidentally deleting mine and my tuner is now in Utah. I called and spoke with the tuner who assured me that he could tackle the tune, big cams, fuel system, triple disk converter, blower, the works. Dropped off the car paid the bill and less than 2 hours later I was told all was good. NOPE! less than 3 miles away the car was running so hot it put it in limp mode. Come to find out it had waaaaaay to much timing. Plus they tune on STD which is an inflated number to begin with. I'm very disappointed in the service and the complete waste of money.

Papini's is by far hands down the best privately owned mechanics shop i have ever had the pleasure of having my car serviced with. Their drive to always be better than the best speaks in the tireless dedication and pursuit of perfection they put into everything they do. If you haven't had the pleasure of having your car serviced by them you are truly missing out on a one of a kind experience

This is a one stop awesome shop! Robert Pointed me in the right direction for the C.A.R.B. legal supercharger kit. Once installed, the car runs great and has a lot more power and, most of all passes smog! Thank you guys!

My husband took my daughters car to have some work done on it before she starts commuting to college. The service was amazing, and Richard was incredible with communicating and following through on the time he said the car would be ready to his honest fair pricing. My husband said he was so comfortable with this repair shop that he would have no problem sending my daughter there alone (which is HUGE for him) for any service or repairs . I highly recommend them to anyone Who is looking for a honest ,reliable Place to take their car for service or repairs .

The Papini Brothers take excellent care of mine and my husbands Mustangs. We drive over an hour for them to service our cars and we would not go anywhere else. They are honest, reasonable and know how to treat their customers. Thank you Robert and Richard much love.

If you own a Mustang, this is the garage for you. I've lived in Orange County, San Diego and now Temecula and wish I would've known about Robert and Richard years ago. They are the most experienced and knowledgeable team I've ever worked with and can do just about anything except for installing exterior enhancements to the body. Highly recommend Papini's Garage.

I came here after hearing from fellow Mustang owner recommendations and after making a few IRS part upgrades. The normal shop I go to kept failing to actually get the steering wheel to clock straight no mater how many return trips. Turns out that shop only bothered making front toe adjustments despite having factory adjust points for camber/caster. The car was in and out of the bay in less than 30 minutes. It was a night and day difference in handling. Power is properly transfered to the pavement and steering feel is 1000% better. I highly recommend the brothers to everyone now.

So I bought a Mustang that belonged to my friend who unfortunately passed away and Papini’s did a lot of work on the car. He got sick so he never had a chance to bring it back to them to do the final cleanup on the tune. I reached out to Papini’s, I spoke with Robert and Richard and they bent over backwards to work around my schedule to squeeze me in and get the car all dialed in. They were also able to do an alignment for me and an oil change while they had the car since I had to bring the car down there all the way from Arizona. They have great customer service and do great work and they are very knowledgeable. I’m in the same type of service as them except we do boats in Lake Havasu, Arizona and I know good customer service and quality work when I see it and I definitely appreciate it.

I have made the 90 min drive (one-way) to Papini's Garage many times now for both motor and suspension work on my 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302, and these guys don't disappoint. Incredible knowledge levels, they've made room to see me when they're busy, and they are really good guys - good people who stand by their work. There's a reason they have lots of trophies in the shop from race wins, that people from all over come to see them, and that they have the reputation they have. Highly recommended. (On my last trip, guy had driven his built Mustang to the shop from Vegas: said he made the trip because he won't let anyone else but Robert and the team from Papini's touch his car.)

Hands down, the best place to go for your Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, and any Coyote or LS/LT platform. Robert and Richard take pride at what they do and they are hands down the best in the business!

I wouldn’t recommend this shop to anyone. They tried scamming me. They were saying I had engine issues and needed mechanical work to fix. Car was fine before I brought it in. I initially went in for a tune and they tried to upsell me unneeded work. Straight up snakes. I had to tow elsewhere. Beware.

I want to give a shoutout to Papini’s garage for the excellent service they provided with installing a whipple supercharger on my S650 Dark Horse. I have had many cars over the years and dealt with lots of performance shops, I have never had such a good experience as I did with these guys. They got me in within two weeks of calling and installed my supercharger in one week. They also took care of other small things like installing wheel spacers, header clearance on my steering knuckle and straightened my rear exhaust tips that were uneven. I really appreciate there attention to detail and my car came out exactly how I dropped it off. Not a single scratch, kick mark from getting in or out of the car or any scuffs on my leather. I know this should be expected but I have had many horrible experiences in the past with other places. I definitely recommend these guys and will be bringing my car back for stage 2 on the whipple in the near future.

I found the Brother’s through a referral from another speed shop in the area. I have a 2012 Corvette where I recently had a supercharger kit from A & A Corvette installed. I had A & A do the install, as it was their kit. The install was perfect, but the tune that they installed left a lot to be desired. I talked to and met the brothers, and they agreed to tune my vehicle with HP Tuners on their Dyno. They nailed it! The car runs 100% better! It is more responsive and pulls like a freight train until the 7100 rpm redline. Robert and Richard are down to earth, great guys with a lot of experience with high performance cars between them. I would highly recommend them.
