Surprise Delivery I had decided to check out the Chevy Bolt but upon calling several dealerships, not only did they not have any, there was a wait list for what ever ea I had decided to check out the Chevy Bolt but upon calling several dealerships, not only did they not have any, there was a wait list for what ever each dealer was going to receive. I started looking into it in June /July. I finally called Budds and was connected to Basil. He gave me the same information but told me to come in anyways that look at the Volt as the styling was similar. No one other than dealer offered to do that. When I arrived Basil spoke to me about both the Volt and the Bolt vehicles. He advised that I could put a deposit on the the 2018 model Bolt if I could wait until next year even though there were several people ahead of me. He answered my many questions & was very informative. I decided I needed to test drive a Bolt & went to the EV Drive Centre in Toronto & after that, I came in soon after & put money on a 2018 hoping my car would last until it came in. This was at the beginning of August. A few weeks later, Basil surprised me & called to say that if I wanted a 2017 Bolt, he had one in could have off the manufacturing floor. It was a great surprise and I jumped on it. Needless to say after thinking that I'd never see a car until over a year later, it was great to snag one & in glad Basil though of me. It was an easy purchase and I'm glad it made the decision to go to this dealership. More

Smooth transaction with great customer care This is my third vehicle purchase with Budds'. I had a strict budget with a specific truck in mind. Basil Silas and Craig Taylor worked for a couple This is my third vehicle purchase with Budds'. I had a strict budget with a specific truck in mind. Basil Silas and Craig Taylor worked for a couple of weeks to find the right vehicle at the right price. Regular contact with updates on different options to achieve the goal was fantastic! They worked hard at finding the perfect truck at a really great price along with a sweet trade in allowance. Thanks Basil and Craig! Highly recommended. More

What a relief to deal with pros This is my 3rd Budd's vehicle. I haven't lived in Oakville since 2009, but it's worth the drive. I probably could have saved a couple of bucks on s This is my 3rd Budd's vehicle. I haven't lived in Oakville since 2009, but it's worth the drive. I probably could have saved a couple of bucks on sticker price by going to an independent or buying from Kijiji. But it's too big a purchase to take chances with. I know I can trust Basil (Silas) to watch out for me and see the things I don't know to watch for, because I don't know much about cars. Basil has his team behind him. You gotta meet these guys; Budds' clearly hires personalities. Dan (Poutsoungas) is +++ helpful and stepped up while ailing Basil had to rise, like Rocky off the mat, to finish up the delivery. Manager Jason is a pretty straight-shooting dude. And finance guy Bounsay Osylaphet is a one man money tornado, he probably saved me a trillion bucks (give or take) because he plays the finance companies like he's conducting an orchestra. Basically, my credit is garbage. BECAUSE OF BASIL AND BOUNSAY I CAN AFFORD TO DRIVE WHAT I NEED, NOT MAKE DO (SOMEHOW) WITH A BEATER BECAUSE IT'S ALL I CAN GET. That's what I was doing before. I was terrified that I would end up having to go to one of those "we finance anybody" shysters. BUDDS: Bravo guys. From your #1 fan. PS - the Cruze is a beautiful ride. Loving every minute of it, More

Basil was o I live 80km's from Budd's but was encouraged by their selection of pre-owned vehicles and went for a drive to see what they had to offer. Basil was our sales representative and right from the start made my wife and I feel comfortable and right at home. His approach was straightforward and honest which allowed us to quickly build trust in his advice and recommendations. After a test drive and an open discussion about the vehicle I was the proud owner of my first Cadillac. I recommend visiting Budd's and their large selection of new and used vehicles. We'll be back.

Nice Experience of Buying a Second Hand Cadillac ATS Basil Silas was very supportive. At the first time, the ATS(Luxury 2015) I wanted just slipped one day before I come. However, in the second week, Bas Basil Silas was very supportive. At the first time, the ATS(Luxury 2015) I wanted just slipped one day before I come. However, in the second week, Basil emailed me that there were new cars come, which really surprised me. I didn't expect I can meet the same model ATS again, at least for a short period. With his reminder, I came and bought my car at once. In addition, since there were some minor scratches and dents on the car, Basil also agreed to purchase the paint for my car (Free), which I also appreciated. More

Great place to deal. I found an ad in Auto Trader for a car I'd been searching for & drove to Oakville. There I met Basil Silas a Budd's sales representative. Basil imme I found an ad in Auto Trader for a car I'd been searching for & drove to Oakville. There I met Basil Silas a Budd's sales representative. Basil immediately made me feel welcome & comfortable. Basil retrieved the keys to the vehicle & we took it for a test drive. He pointed out all of the special features in the car but remained quiet for most of the ride to allow me to assess the performance of the car. At no time did I feel or even sense pressure to commit. At the end of the drive we discussed the vehicle, the possibility of a trade & of course price. I did not want to commit totally until my wife had an opportunity to test it as well. Basil set aside time the next day for us to return. The next day Basil met us & allowed us to take the vehicle for a run on our own. My wife loves the car as much as I & did & we made an offer. It took very little effort to come to an agreed upon price. Since the vehicle was a pre-owned car we went over it closely monitoring any issues. Basil agreed to all of the repairs that we requested & rushed through the maintenance so that we could pick it up A.S.A.P. In all it was a very pleasant experience dealing with Basil, I truly felt that he was understanding of our financial situation & worked hard to help us get the deal we needed. If you're looking for a vehicl, call Basil @ Budds Chevrolet first, you won't be disappointed. More

Best place to get any GM Vehicle in Ontario! This is the 2nd Cadillac we leased from Budds Chev. We worked with a new sales person this time around though, Basil Silas, as the previous rep has si This is the 2nd Cadillac we leased from Budds Chev. We worked with a new sales person this time around though, Basil Silas, as the previous rep has since retired. The experience was just the same though. No last minute surprises. Straight talking sales rep and management. I have to say Mr. Budd and family know how to run a business well and retain their clients. And they have almost everything GM has to offer in stock. The Corvette Z06's, Cadillac Escalade's, right down to the Chevy Spark! I was a little worried since I was returning a 2015 Caddy ATS lease and upgrading to a 2017 Caddy XT5 and my past experiences at other dealers usually result in some last minute surprises such as charges for minor scratches and wear but with Budd's there were no surprises. Everythign was as discussed. The new XT5 looked awesome. Full tank of gas! and the car runs like a dream. Wifey loves it because it has all the cargo room we needed and plenty of leg room for our growing kids in the back. Our sales rep Basil and both sales managers, Craig Taylor and Jason Blain, were very thorough about everything we talked about. He needed all documents and papers upfront from us to have all forms ready for us. This was very helpful so that we could complete all papers and drive away in our new XT5 faster. Fortunately, their Business manager, Bounsay, was able to work with our schedule as we couldnt sit with him so they accommodated by letting us fill out all credit app documents at home and emailing it to them. Also would recommend their service department. They were quiet helpful to us for getting all service and warranty work done on our 2015 ATS. It was always a good experience speaking with the service manager, Shane. Unlike at other dealerships where the management often hides behind their office doors, Shane was always available to discuss any concerns and offer guidance/help when needed. Another fabulous experience of working with Budds Chev. Highly recommended! More
