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 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.

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.
