Owner Franco Barbuscia

Born near Sicily, Italy (literally in a cave) near the end of WWII, Franco started working on his trade of Mechanics at an early age (just 10 years old). Franco’s passion for automobiles inspired him to move to Canada in 1968. He continued honing his craft in Canada and eventually moved to the US in 1973. In Pennsylvania, Franco worked on the few  Ferraris and any other exotics in town he could get his hands on. Getting restless, he and his family moved to California in 1986, where he finally opened “Franco’s European Sports Cars” in 1990 — where the shop has been ever since.

Damian Barbuscia

Damian has followed in his father’s footsteps as Franco’s life-long apprentice. His experience with exotics began long before he could drive, with summers being spent in the garage learning these cars inside and out. He has continued working to make Franco’s European the first choice of exotics owners for repair, maintenance, and performance tuning.

Rosa Barbuscia

Having been with the business since day one, Rosa knows the office inside and out. Her ability to manage every aspect of the business both big and small, outstanding customer service and top-notch organization have helped Franco’s European run as smoothly as the high-performance engines they tune.
