A good deal is worth slowing down for.

When buying a new or used car, it’s easy to get swept up in a good deal but taking a little time can make all the difference. The smartest move? Choosing an OMVIC registered dealer, so you’re protected in case anything doesn’t add up.

What does OMVIC do?

OMVIC (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) protects car buyers by making sure registered dealers follow the rules. Remember, you’re only protected by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act when buying from an OMVIC registered dealer.

OMVIC gives you the tools to:

What you need to know before you buy

  • Salesperson helping a couple purchase a vehicle

    What is an OMVIC registered dealer?

    Get all-in pricing, full vehicle history disclosure, and legal protection if something goes wrong.

  • Man beside an SUV

    What is a curbsider?

    Curbsiders are unlicensed, illegal sellers. Their cars may have issues, and you're not protected.

  • man and woman shopping in a car dealership talking to a female salesperson

    Why is all-in pricing important?

    All-in pricing means the price you see is the price you pay (plus HST & licensing). No hidden cost.

Get the facts. Buy with confidence.
