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

Brian and his team were great. I brought my car to Good Cars on a recommendation and was absolutely thrilled with the service. The team did a great job with the work required and Brian was very patient and flexible. Thanks again!

Really an honest place to purchase a used car. I’ve known Brian for years and have found him to be very sincere, and honest, if you are buying a car or getting your car serviced here.

My family’s been using Brian at Good Cars Only for probably 15 years. A good, genuine guy, who also runs a mechanic shop. We’ve bought and sold cars through him, and use him for everything from an oil change to our old Windstar breaking down (twice). Prices are also reasonable, and he will back what he sells. Could not recommend him highly enough.

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 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.
