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!

Not only did the sales representative work with us to get the car at the best possible price but they also repaired the scratches and offered as a free rental while the car was being serviced. Great customer service and no hassle environment is greatly appreciated. We will be returning to this dealership for our next purchase as everything was done as originally promised. More

I picked up the truck several months later exactly how it was ordered with accessories. I didn't even step foot inside the dealership until I picked up my vehicle. Great customer service and convenience of corresponding via email, it was worth the extra effort for me to buy out of province. More
