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!

Excellent experience from entering the dealership to walking out. I was facilitated from the moment I walked in. All staff greeted me with a smile and asked if I needed assistance. From service (Juan) walking out. I was facilitated from the moment I walked in. All staff greeted me with a smile and asked if I needed assistance. From service (Juan) to sales (Basil) and Shelly. I am sure that Leggat Cadillac can learn from BUDDS' when it comes to CUSTOMER SERVICE and VEHICLE SALES. More

This is our second purchase of an SUV from Basil Silas at Budds. He always goes out of his way to make us happy and always follows up to make sure we are still satisfied. You will not go wrong buying from Bu Budds. He always goes out of his way to make us happy and always follows up to make sure we are still satisfied. You will not go wrong buying from Budds. More
