Budds' Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC

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!

The Service department at Budd's is also very professional and helpful. Any one of the Service Technicians and the Service Manager are excellent to work with and go out of their way to ensure you understand what is going on with your vehicle. The Finance matters were handled extremely efficiently and with great speed by Rob Powell More

Basil did a great job an I went with my mom to pick up her brand new Chevy Cruze today. It was a good experience and the customer service was great. Basil did a great job answering all our questions and ensuring my mom was comfortable with everything before she drove off the lot. She's not computer savvy and was nervous about the new technology in all cars these days. Basil put her at ease and went through all the components with her ensuring she could find what she wanted easily, he even programed her favorite radio stations! We also met and chatted with someone else but unfortunately I didn't get his name, I think he worked in the auto shop. He was also extremely friendly with a wonderful demeanor. More
