Budds' Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC
410 South Service Road West
Oakville, ON L6K 2H4
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!

Communicative and friendly service! I picked up my Cadillac from Basil a few weeks back. I am very impressed by the level of service at this dealership. My brother was in the marke I picked up my Cadillac from Basil a few weeks back. I am very impressed by the level of service at this dealership. My brother was in the market for a new SUV. So, I got him to call Basil. Basil gave my brother the same level of service and attention, which impressed me the first time around! This is the second transaction we made with Basil and there will be more in the future, as this is the most stress free I've felt walking into a car dealership. More

We made arrangements to meet at the dealership to go over the cars. Basil was confident in his product and knowledgeable in the process. Both my wife, Gail, and I were very impressed with not only Basil,who is an excellent yet not pushy salesman, but with all the people we met during our buying experience. As with all used products, we have found a couple of minor glitches we missed during the buying process and Shane McGinnis, the service manager, is working with us to correct them - as Shane says " to our complete satisfaction" . Basil has also contacted us to be sure we are satisfied with our experience. Being from a small town, I was hesitant to deal with a "big city" company feeling there wouldn't be the personal touch, but I found Budds and their personnel are very interested in creating a good experience for their customers.
