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!

Absolutely great customer service! The Company I work for had our first annual charity golf tournament last week and we asked for a car from Budd's, to give to some lucky person, for a The Company I work for had our first annual charity golf tournament last week and we asked for a car from Budd's, to give to some lucky person, for a hole in one. There were a couple of small glitches but overall, we got a great car the day of the tournament thanks to the GM Wayne Carter and on the day we picked the car up, his manager Craig Taylor was wonderful and helped us through with getting the keys and when we returned the car he was most helpful and made us feel like we were important to the company. A great experience and Waynes help in getting the car was greatly appreciated. We bought our last car at Budds in 2013 and we had an amazing experience then as well. Its a great company!! Its my dealership for life!! Amy Kalinowski Oakville, ON More

Someone was there immediately to take the car in for the service and we even got the car washed!
