Basil was born in New Delhi, India and has lived in Kenya and Uganda throughout his life. His grandfather was a doctor and his father retired an aeronautical engineer. Basil himself is the widowed father of two wonderful twin sons, Ryan and Neil. Basil enjoys working in the auto industry as he believes the sky is the limit; he has recently sold some cars on-line to customers which he found a very interesting experience. Being candid, truthful and sincere are characteristics Basil feels makes a strong salesperson, all three of which he demonstrates. Although Basil is a peaceful and calm man, don't think that he hasn't had some wild encounters. Basil has come face to face on three separate occasions when he was in east Africa, with a lion, an elephant and a hippo! He also survived an armed carjacking in Nairobi!

My father just purchased a Cadillac from Budds with Basil as his salesperson. Basil went above and beyond to ensure that my father was comfortable with his purchase and was very informative and professional as his salesperson.

We have been coming to Budd's long before it was a Budd's dealership. I can say that the service and attention we receive has gotten even better (if that were possible). We are on our 5th Cadillac now an dealership. I can say that the service and attention we receive has gotten even better (if that were possible). We are on our 5th Cadillac now and personally this is the 9th vehicle from this dealership. Although our original salesperson had passed on we are so grateful to be working with Basil Silas. He knows what we like, he knows that it must be a fantastic deal for us to buy. Over the years we have also had the pleasure of dealing with Rob Powell who never fails to get things done and save us money when he can. The guys in the service bay are polite and professional. We will be back soon to replace our 2nd vehicle. More

Basil, Dave and Shane all worked together to expedite the purchase and the General Manager, Wayne Carter, was genuine and helpful. Wayne leads a great team that works well together and doesn't stop working until they have delivered. Kudos. More
