How buying actually works

  1. See it

    Browse here, or call ahead and we'll have the car you want out front for when you arrive. No appointment necessary.

    Walk-ins welcome any day we're open.
  2. Drive it

    Take it on a real test drive. Want to take it to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection? Go. We'll wait.

    If they find something we missed, we want to know too.
  3. Drive it home

    Plating, registration, safety, ownership transfer — all done in house. Most folks drive away the same day or within the week.

Our story

The same family.
The same street. Since 1999.

O&J opened on Wellington Street West in 1999. A small lot, a handshake, a desk phone that often rang during dinner. Twenty-five years later, the lot is in the same place and the handshake is still the standard.

Three generations have run this business under the same roof. Westboro has changed around us. The way we sell cars hasn't. We bring you the Carfax before you ask. You can take any car to your own mechanic. The phone gets answered, usually by one of us.

1999

Omar opens the lot

One bay, three cars, a phone book in the drawer.

2010s

Sons join the desk

Omar's son Abdul joins the business and starts taking the phone after dinner too.

Today

Three generations

Father and son under one roof, on the same block since 1999.

Why neighbours come back

A car deal that doesn't feel like one.

We don't run a sales floor. We run a small shop on Wellington with a desk, a kettle, and cars walked in by people we know. Four things customers tend to mention.

01 / Patience

Never hurried

Some people leave with keys the same afternoon. Others come back six Saturdays. Either is fine.

"He showed me many cars over several weeks until I found the right one."Nabil A.

02 / Price

What you see, you pay

No documentation surcharge that materialises at signing. No "market adjustment." The number on the windshield is the number on the bill of sale.

"No hidden fees — just genuine people who care."Md M.

03 / Paperwork

We handle it

Plating, registration, safety, transfer. All of it, in house. If you need help getting insured, Omar will sit on the phone with you while you call your broker.

"He handled all the paperwork and plating. Smooth from start to finish."Hugh K.

04 / Family

A handshake counts

Three generations stand behind every car. Customers who bought their first one here as teenagers come back twenty years later, looking for one for their own kids. Some weeks that's two or three of the people walking in.

"He helped me find the perfect starter car for my teenage son."Saleem K.

"Omar and his son were extremely helpful — everything was completed within 24 hours. We even joked about donuts, and when we went to pick up our fabulous Mini Cooper, he surprised us with a box of Suzy Q donuts."

Common questions

The things people usually ask.

If your question isn't here, give us a call at (613) 261-6627. We're happy to talk through anything before you visit.

Is every car safety-certified?

Yes. Every vehicle that leaves our lot has a fresh Ontario safety, has been inspected by our own service partner, and comes with its Carfax report in hand. No asking required.

Can I take a car to my own mechanic before buying?

Absolutely. We encourage it. Take any car you're seriously considering to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. We'll happily wait. If they find something we missed, we want to know about it too.

Do you take trade-ins?

Yes. Bring your current vehicle in for an honest appraisal. We'll give you a fair number, on the spot, with no pressure to take it. If you'd rather sell privately, we'll tell you what we think the car is worth there too.

What does the price include?

The price on the windshield includes a fresh Ontario safety, plating and ownership transfer (all handled in house), and a full tank of fuel when you drive away. The only thing added at signing is HST. No documentation fee. No "market adjustment."

What if I don't see what I'm looking for?

Tell us what you want and we'll find it. We're at the auctions every week, and we'd rather source something you actually want than push you into something on the lot. Most special orders take one to three weeks.

Where exactly are you?

1375 Wellington Street West, in the heart of Westboro. Between Holland and Parkdale. Plenty of free street parking on weekends. Closest OC Transpo stop is Westboro Station, then a five-minute walk west.

Still have a question? We'd rather you ask before you visit than wonder after.

Call (613) 261-6627
Got a car to sell?

We buy too, not just sell.

Trading up or just looking to move on from your current car? Bring it by. We'll give you an honest number on the spot, with no pressure to take it. If you'd rather sell privately, we'll tell you what we think it's worth there too — even if it means we don't get the deal.

No appointment needed. Takes about 15 minutes on the lot. Bring your registration and ownership papers and we can usually quote on the spot.
