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!

When I arrived I was worried that I'd have someone pressure me - but that fear quickly disappeared when I was helped out by a gentleman named Basil Silas. He was extremely friendly and helpful. He made the overall experience exciting, fun and without pressure. He was knowledgeable when I had questions and made sure I had the info I requested. I'm glad he helped because he was the best salesman I ever dealt with. He's not like those people you see on TV which I really appreciated. He was real. No tricks. And again, no pressure. He gave me time alone with my family to think about my purchase and didn't make it uncomfortable or awkward in any way. A couple days after I bought the car, Basil called me to make sure I enjoyed the ride and that everything was to my satisfaction. That is some excellent customer service. I have no buyers remorse. I have pride in my new ride and I owe it all to Basil. I'd recommend him to anyone. If I ever buy another car, I am going straight to him. More

Basil was professional and attentive to our needs immediately. He was quick to understand what I was looking for and knew that I was in a precarious situation. He chose not to take advantage of that fact, but listened to my needs and accommodated to my requests with ease. After the initial sale was made, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rob Powell. He completed the circle of professional treatment I was afforded. Thank you Budd's! Steven Swait Oakville, On More
