Brian was very kind and professional with my mother and her Nissan SUV . She received exceptional quality service and he went above and beyond to solve her issue. He does not put sales over good service. He cares about his customers satisfaction and doing a good job. Thank you Brian

We took my senior Mother to buy a used car. Brian and his staff knew exactly the options that would work best for her from ease of use, and comfort they covered it all. They were patient and thoughtful from the start to the finish of the purchase. Great experience for us. 5 Star rating deserved!

I have always taken what I read online with a grain of salt. I was in a bit of a bind when I took a look at what they had. Brian was so nice and helpful, he had gone above and beyond. The experience I received at Good Cars Only will always have me telling anyone that is looking to go see him. I thank you for all you guys did for me. You are truly a class act.

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.

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.

Customer Testimonial
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.
