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!

Recently brought my vehicle into Budds' for Service after a disappointing service experience with my local GM dealer. The issue was corrected in a timely manner and thoroughly explained by the gentlemen at t a disappointing service experience with my local GM dealer. The issue was corrected in a timely manner and thoroughly explained by the gentlemen at the service desk. The difference between experiences at Budds' and my local dealer was night and day - it more than justified the extra drive time to get the vehicle to Budds'. The outstanding service that we continually get from the sales and service staff at Budds' will keep us coming back in the future despite a lengthly drive to get there. Thanks Budds' staff for the great work. More

I am beyond words at how satisfied I am with my boyfriend and I's experience. We came in looking to get out of our Honda lease and Basil was nothing but helpful. Basil is experienced, charismatic and truly c and I's experience. We came in looking to get out of our Honda lease and Basil was nothing but helpful. Basil is experienced, charismatic and truly cares about his customers. This was our first purchase and we were in and out of the dealership in less than 2 hours. In that time we were able to test drive a beautiful 2019 Summit White Chevrolet Blazer which we immediately fell in love with. Basil gave us a great deal to trade in our Honda and get into something that fit our lifestyle with a promise to get us into our next dream SUV a Chevrolet Tahoe in a few years! I will never buy a car anywhere else! Beyond excellence! And I cannot forget about Rob Powell (Finance) who eased my anxieties through the application for financing process. Rob provided us with peace of mind and the process was quick and easy! Rob and Basil are amazing! Thank you both so much! More
