  • A car listing website is more than just information and pictures; you have to trust it. Ontariocars.ca has taken extra steps to build that trust.
  • All car dealerships in Ontario, and their sales reps, managers, and owners must be registered with OMVIC, the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council. It regulates car sales in Ontario. All registrants must abide by a code of ethics and comply with prescribed business standards. In addition, though, all car sellers on our website must be members of the Used Car Dealers’ Association and abide by our code of ethics.
