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!

Great Experience as usual!! My husband and I have been dealing with Budds for many years and are never disappointed. We deal with Basil Silas every time. Recently my husband purc My husband and I have been dealing with Budds for many years and are never disappointed. We deal with Basil Silas every time. Recently my husband purchased a 2016 GMC Sierra Elevation and I purchased a 2015 Chevy Equinox and once again, Basil was wonderful. The whole process for the purchase of both vehicles and trade in of my vehicle was seamless. In 2014 I wanted a Tahoe and unfortunately Budds did not have what I was looking for in stock so I ended up at Dixie Ford. There was absolutely NO comparison in regards to customer service, and friendly staff. Now we are back and could not be happier! More

Quick, responsive, professional! Basil & Budds = Excellent! After a few disappointing in-person experiences with Chevy dealers in the GTA, I found Basil on this site and decided to send him an email early one m After a few disappointing in-person experiences with Chevy dealers in the GTA, I found Basil on this site and decided to send him an email early one morning asking for a quote on a new vehicle. He responded within minutes letting me know he was working later that day and would get back to me. He provided me with a quote that same afternoon and after a quick call in the evening, we struck a deal. Basil was extremely professional, honest and responsive during the entire sales process. He provided regular updates, promptly responded to my calls and emails while I was waiting for delivery of the car, and has been great with follow up questions post-delivery. The whole team at Budds, including sales manager Craig Taylor and business manager Rob Powell, who walked me through every item on the bill of sale so that I could fully understand every cost I was paying, were exceptional to deal with. An excellent overall experience and highly recommended! More

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
