Budds' Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC

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!

My Cadillac Buying Experience Basil found us exactly what we were looking for at the absolute best price we found anywhere. For my follow up meeting, he greeted me in the parking Basil found us exactly what we were looking for at the absolute best price we found anywhere. For my follow up meeting, he greeted me in the parking lot and no question was too small to be answered and didn't let me go until I was comfortable with all the electronics on the car. Rob made the world of financing quick and efficient. The service department was most impressive and Shane and Jason were very welcoming. This felt like a very friendly environment and I would recommend Basil and the team at Budd's to purchase your next vehicle. More

Second car in two weeks! We just purchased our second car in two weeks! We recently purchased a new Equinox for our family and are loving it! Our daughter needed a new car s We just purchased our second car in two weeks! We recently purchased a new Equinox for our family and are loving it! Our daughter needed a new car so we came back to see Basil a second time, and bought her a new Cruze. The service at this dealership is second to none...we are looking forward to a long relationship that we can trust to keep our new cars in great shape for us. Our experience with buying both cars was excellent, Basil took the time to make sure our daughter got the car she wanted and would be comfortable with. For us as parents it was comforting to know she was in good hands and someone valued her needs and took the time to help her out. She is absolutely thrilled with her new car and loving driving it! We cannot say enough about all the staff we have met with at Budds, right from reception to service area and sales. Will not hesitate to keep recommending Budds for their great customer service! A big thank you to Basil and Rob for helping us to find our new vehicles, and of course Jason and Shane for keeping our two Montanas running as long as they did... : ) More
