Hi Brian If you remember Me I purchased this Lexus Rx 5 years ago from you I wanted to share my thankfulness to you. Thanks everything you have done to the car include oil/transmission oil change, you gave me all new brakes and all new Michelin tire. you even sent me some scratch paint after I went home 2 weeks later. I wanted to shared with you over the last 5 years I follow you suggestion to do 9000km oil change, used best oil and best filters. The car has absolute zero issues over my ownership. I only change the brakes pads once both front and end. it is all your knowledge how to source every

My daughter bought her first car from Brian this morning. The selection was amazing and Brian was super helpful, honest and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Brian, there's a very happy 18 year old today who can't wait to drive off the lot on Monday.

I was referred to Good Cars Only by a good friend of mine. She bought from Brian a few years ago, as did her two sons and two mutual friends, all of whom were very satisfied with their purchase and service. On her recommendation, I too bought a used vehicle from Brian in March 2021. Low mileage, great condition, fantastic price, totally satisfied. I highly recommend Good Cars Only, true to it's name. Thanks Brian.

Brian deserves 10 stars. After two weeks of looking After 12 cities searching I found this incredible car lot. It was my last day with my car rental from an accident claim and I was feeling defeated. Cars were either over priced or had high kms. The sales people I met were either not very knowledgeable or just plain pushy. And then I met
Brian. He treated me like a person and not just like a sale.
He was kind and really listened to me. Brian had the exact car I was looking for. Low kms. Mint body. Just the perfect car. He accepted my offer. It was just all so easy and Brian made this my best experience

Brian is an honest gentleman to deal with. I went in with the preconceived notion of what I thought I wanted. He directed me towards a vehicle that I actually hadn't considered for my needs. With that idea he put in my head he didn't actually make a sale which he knew would happen. But the advice he gave me would definitely make me want to come back and buy another car off him for my wife. This business in my opinion should be a 10 Star !

This dealership deserves a 10-Star rating! And I'll tell you why. Ran into some car trouble recently. Drove the car to not one but 4 repair shops. Got some astronomical blind-side quotes from them which made me feel they were out to scam me! In desperation, my wife and I drove down to see Brian hoping to trade in the car and make the most of a bad situation. Brian asked us what the problem was, checked the car, turns around and says he could "easily" get the car repaired. We couldn't believe what we just heard! He also mentioned he didn't want us buying any of his cars. That level of honesty
