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!

Outstanding Sales Service When it was time to trade in our 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier, there was only one dealership and one salesman we considered... Basil Silas at Budds' When it was time to trade in our 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier, there was only one dealership and one salesman we considered... Basil Silas at Budds' Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC in Oakville. We had such an excellent experience buying our Malibu that there was no question we would return to Basil. His knowledgeable, friendly and understanding personality is a credit to him and to Budds' as well. While there were a couple of twists and turns (on our part) as we made the final decision on which vehicle was best for us, Basil's guidance throughout the process was invaluable. He provided us with truly excellent service. When we drove away from Budds' in our new 2020 Chevrolet Equinox Premier AWD, we felt like we had made the best possible choice for our life. Thank you to Basil and to Budds' for everything you've done for us. We'd also like to thank Rob Powell for making the purchase transaction such an easy process. We couldn't be happier... we have a fantastic vehicle for years to come. More
