Sales
Budds' Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC
410 South Service Road West
Oakville, ON L6K 2H4
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!

“Exceptional Service at Budd’s Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC” I recently had the pleasure of purchasing my second vehicle from Budd’s Chevrolet, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. As a GMC” I recently had the pleasure of purchasing my second vehicle from Budd’s Chevrolet, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. As a first-time electric vehicle (EV) buyer, I had numerous questions, and the staff at Budd’s went above and beyond to assist me. Basil, the sales representative, patiently explained the trade-in options available to me. He also walked me through the vehicle’s OnStar settings and ensured I was familiar with the Blazer’s advanced systems. The test drive, guided by Basil, was an enjoyable and informative experience. Bounsay, the finance expert, provided valuable advice on protecting my investment. He meticulously outlined the coverage details and helped me set up a payment plan tailored to my needs. Lastly, Sharon at the counter efficiently handled my deposit, making the entire process seamless. I highly recommend Budd’s Chevrolet for their exceptional service and knowledgeable team. They truly made my EV purchase a breeze! More
