535 Reviews
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!

Basil even got the price down below what I offered! That was wonderful. I bought the car on a Wednesday and picked it up only 4 business days later (over a long weekend). The sevice department did a fantastic job getting the car ready. I would highly recommend Basil to anyone searching for a car. More

Rob was great, gave me pointers on how to care for the car and protect it. He took the time to explain some of the ever so cool GM packages and even suggested tints on the windows which made the car look really sharp. They made my experience Great. When It came to picking up the vehicle I was greeted with handshakes and a congratulatory "Happy Car day"! I recommend Budd's Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC. More
