The Marden Difference
Why Buyers Trust Us
Thoroughly Inspected
Every vehicle goes through a multi-point inspection before it hits our lot. If it doesn't meet our standard, we don't sell it.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch. The price on the windshield is the price you pay. We believe buying a car should be straightforward.
Local & Committed
We've been on Highway 6 since 1979. Our reputation is everything. We're not going anywhere — and neither is our commitment to your satisfaction.
All Makes & Models
From Subarus and trucks to minivans and sedans — we sell and service all makes. Sales, maintenance, and repairs all under one roof.
No-Pressure Sales
Take your time. Ask every question. We'd rather you leave and come back than feel rushed into a decision you're not ready for.

Who You're Dealing With
Meet the Van Dams
Steve Van Dam and his family have been running Marden Motors since 1979 — that's over 45 years on the same stretch of Highway 6 in Guelph. This isn't a franchise. There's no corporate playbook. It's a family business, and the people you deal with here are the same people who own it.
Steve knows every vehicle on the lot personally. When you ask a question, you get a straight answer. That's just how this family does business.

What People Are Saying
"Bought my Subaru Outback from Marden and couldn't be happier. Steve was honest and patient — never felt pressured. The car was exactly as described and priced fairly."
"Family-run business that actually cares about their customers. I've bought two vehicles from them now and both times the experience was easy and transparent. Will keep coming back."
"Best used car experience I've had. They know their inventory inside out and were genuinely helpful. The car was clean, inspected, and road-ready. Highly recommend Marden Motors."
