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!

spectacular service I visited budds to purchase a gmc terrain 2015. Once again basil was there to move heaven and earth to make this happen. His customer service, dedica I visited budds to purchase a gmc terrain 2015. Once again basil was there to move heaven and earth to make this happen. His customer service, dedication and passion for his career goes beyond words, it was an spectacular experience. Basil along with Paula made this a smooth and trouble free purchase. They are never too busy or too anything to answer your calls and guide you step by step. Before anyone decides to change or purchase a new vehicle i recommend budds, but specially basil silas. Now i am happy and enjoying my new 2015 terrain. If i could choose more than 5 stars it would be 200 star rating. Thank you for making this a pleasant and unforgettable experience. More

Great Experience I bought the 2011 Escalade from the dealership with Basil as the sales guy in Aug 2011, and have always appreciated their warm reception anytime I go I bought the 2011 Escalade from the dealership with Basil as the sales guy in Aug 2011, and have always appreciated their warm reception anytime I go there for service. It was a no-brainer that I will go back when changing to the 2015 model. Basil kept in touch asking how the I was enjoying the car and followed up on any question I had then...Of course with the 2015 model, I have a million tech questions and he is never too busy not to respond. Rob encouraged me to wait for the one I actually wanted, which proved to be a great advise as I was getting impatient-thanks Rob! You guys are great and fun...you made spending money a comfortable experience:) More
