Our Clients Love Us
Our reputation speaks for itself. We work hard every day to keep our customers happy.
Brian at GoodCarsOnly was amazing! He was helpful from the very start — not pushy at all, super friendly, and even lent us a car for a full day while they were safetied ours. The price was great for an excellent vehicle, no complaints at all. We also had a code pop up after purchase. I called Brian and he took the car back the same day to fix it, and even provided a loaner so I could still get to work. The staff and owner are incredible, and their integrity really shows. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommend GoodCarsOnly.

Brian is amazing. I explained my situation and my wish list to him, he asked some poignant questions, and settled on the first car he showed me. I couldn’t find better (and I tried!), and I certainly couldn’t find a more trustworthy dealer. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and Good Cars Only. ME

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Owner is honest, and caring. I’ve worked in customer service for 10 years, and I’ve never encountered someone with such high standards for their clients. Even if you’re unsure, stop by. Well worth your time.

In a market filled with overpriced junk and people trying to take advantage of you I could not recommend Good Cars Only enough. Bryan and his team genuinely want you to find a good car for the best value. The deals are fair and the cars are well maintained. Awesome to buy from and super helpful. Highly recommend.

We recently made a purchase of a 2008 Lexus Rx350 from Brian at Good Cars Only It's not often I can say that buying a vehicle was such a stress free and pleasurable experience. The owner Brian was involved every step of the way and was remarkably precise with the details we crafted in the purchase agreement. It was very easy on our end as he upheld his end by making sure the car we purchased was repaired beyond requirements such as minor wear and tear interior details that I would have never expected anybody else to even pay the slightest attention to. When we arrived to pick up our car. Brian and his hard working staff and mechanics had the car ready in pristine condition. He came out to show us all of the features of the car, not to mention Brian had the safety and certification of the car ready for us. It is such a joy when making a purchase of a car for it to be road worthy, licensed, plated and detailed for you to feel like its your dream car come true !! Brian, a personal Thank You to you and your team for such an amazing experience and service. I will enjoy this gem of a vehicle for many years and when I need a larger one you will be my first and only stop. It has been my pleasure purchasing with you and I only wish I made all my other vehicle purchases with you to start with. Thank You Brian and Good Cars Only Stan

In this fast-paced and at times impersonal world, one rarely encounters a company like Good Cars Only and its owner Brian Velenosi. I have had the honor and pleasure of knowing Brian for 25+ years.
I was introduced to Brian through a business associate at K-Lite FM/CKOC/CHAM where I was Director of Marketing for 17 years. I was in the market for a pre-owned Corvette, and Brian found the best one in Ontario — if not the world. Everything I asked for and more. So much more.
Brian serviced the car and, eventually, when I moved to Toronto for a new radio job, he even helped me find a new owner at a great price. He made buying a car a fun and happy experience on every level.
A month ago, I reconnected with Brian after buying a Muskoka cottage and told him I wanted a Cadillac to get me back and forth to my dream home. Well, today, I just bought my second Good Cars Only vehicle from Brian — 20 years later!
Brian has great integrity, warmth, kindness, and his customer service sets the highest standard in the automotive industry. There are very few companies that I have encountered that offer a good old-fashioned "Customer is King" philosophy, but Brian Velenosi and his Good Cars Only company live that cherished motto every day.
He makes a customer feel special, and his warmth and genuine character are rare commodities these days. Thank you, Brian, for the best cars and the 100% reassurance that you stand behind your product and your customers.
