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!

Basil Silas - my sales rep- made buying a car a very pleasant experience. Buying a new car was a big deal for me.

This is my th I have been going to this dealership and Basil Silas for years now because I am so happy with the service and care I receive every time. This is my third time now leasing one of the Cadillac crossovers, going from an SRX, to an XT4, to now and XT5. I love everything about this car -- from it's luxury features, to the drive, to the colour!! Basil found me the nicest colour for this car - a shadow metallic blue. I am in love with it!! Basil is also the kindest, nicest person I have ever met. He is so caring and really makes sure that you leave the dealership happy. He makes the process so easy and enjoyable. The rest of the team I met and dealt with is also awesome! Rob Powell made the paperwork a breeze and was a pleasure. I highly recommend this dealership. More

Buy your next vehicle at Budds! Excellent Customer Service Sales consultant BASIL SILAS provided excellent and professional service with a recent vehicle purchase. My 83 year old mother first bought a used Ca Sales consultant BASIL SILAS provided excellent and professional service with a recent vehicle purchase. My 83 year old mother first bought a used Cadillac ATS Sedan from Basil at Budds' but realized after a week it wasn't the right vehicle for her. Basil was very understanding and assisted us to another vehicle more suitable to my mother's needs which was a used Buick Envision. My mother and I were both very impressed and appreciated the detail Basil and the dealership provided. The prices of the vehicles were also under many of the other competitors. Thank you Basil! More
