Good Cars Only came highly recommended from another business in town and now I know why--THEY ARE THE BEST!!! Brian is the easiest and most low stress salesperson I've dealt with--professional, experienced, kind, honest and respectful--which is not always the case unfortunately...I would give him more stars if I could and absolutely recommend this family business! You can tell this is his passion and he genuinely wants to help out--and is a straight shooter...His daughter Natasha also works there and was super helpful, enthusiastic and put me at ease...all around great experience, Thank you!! Will definitely be back!!

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.

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.
