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

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.

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.

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!

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

My experience with this company, specifically Brian has been amazing. My car died on the side of the road and I had it towed to Good Cars only, based on google reviews and recommendations. Brian was there to receive me when the town track pulled up and looked at my car right away. Next day, he contacted me personally to give me the unfortunate news of a dead engine. Advised me on next steps and provided assistance with towing. I have never received such great services when dealing with my, now dead, car in any shops or dealerships. There are not enough words to describe the high level of service and support I received from this business. Highly recommend!

Brian is very helpful to our children who got their first cars. He also educates them about maintenance.

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.
