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.
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:
Get all-in pricing, full vehicle history disclosure, and legal protection if something goes wrong.
Curbsiders are unlicensed, illegal sellers. Their cars may have issues, and you're not protected.
All-in pricing means the price you see is the price you pay (plus HST & licensing). No hidden cost.
