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!

We specially thank Basil, Bounsay, and the entire Budd's team for making our experience so convenient and memorable for our Cadillac SRX. In spite of GM having an authorized service and sales centre in Guelph, we still prefer the hour's drive to Budd's. We would always recommend this dealership to anyone interested. Thanks again for your excellent customer service. More

Honest, personable, team minded Dealership! My wife found a C6 Z06 online from Budd's. We live in B.C. After talking to Basil a couple times I thought the car too good to be true (bad story out My wife found a C6 Z06 online from Budd's. We live in B.C. After talking to Basil a couple times I thought the car too good to be true (bad story out of Massachusetts a month earlier). Read reviews about Basil, put trust in him, wife kicked me on plane, and Basil picked me up at airport. What a worthwhile adventure! Basil is a true and genuine man, not just salesman! The car was incredible, and all discussions true. Wayne, Bounsay, and admin staff were very personable and very competent. Even Paul the detail-er aided me, thanks. I'd like to send a heartfelt thank-uou to everyone at Budds for making my Corvette dream come true. You were all amazing, and delivered on all accounts! A note for the owners : I believe in surrounding yourself with great people to succeed. You can place a check mark in that box! Sincerly, Bill in B.C. Basil your the real deal! More

The vehicle buy experience for my family was simply AMAZING. I will like to thank Basil particularly and the team of his Manager and Credit Personnel who combined so closely to effect our vehicle purchase in rec I will like to thank Basil particularly and the team of his Manager and Credit Personnel who combined so closely to effect our vehicle purchase in record time. Basil's Sales skill is exceptional. From walking into his office, the clarity of his communication, friendliness, search and explanation of the options currently available and preparedness to even search other locations where our target specs could be found was exceptional. The decision to buy straight away at this single encounter was based on the confidence and knowledge exhibited by Basil. It was easy to compare him with other Sales Reps of other dealers where we had previously searched for our dream car. Trust me Basil cannot be separated from Exceptional Service. More

As we all know, when you're buying a vehicle, you appreciate someone who is down to earth and knowledgeable at the same time! For myself, the people working at the Customer Service centre created my first impression of the dealership, friendly and welcoming. All expectations were met, my vehicle was ready when promised and all the details reviewed. Again thanking everyone who made this decision an amazing experience. Cheers!!! More
