I grew up in a small town called Wymore, Nebraska which is located two hours south of Omaha. In 2005, I graduated from Nebraska Christian College, and in 2012, I received my Master's in School Counseling. In my free time I enjoy playing golf and spending time with my family. I also enjoy rooting on the Huskers and Hawkeyes, needless to say the day after Thanksgiving is like watching my parents fight. Although I am not currently using my Master's in a school setting, counseling others make wise decisions in the car ownership experience is very important to me. My job here at Gorges Volvo Cars is to not only make sure you have a great experience the day you visit us, but for your entire ownership with your new car. Our Mission statement is to offer the highest level of quality products and service to establish life-long customers. I truly enjoy having our customers leave my office knowing they will be protected and having the peace of mind that we have their best interest in mind.

Everyone was so easy and great to work with. It was the fastest car purchase I have ever had. They even came and took the car to get inspected so we didn’t have to. They do so much to their used cars befor fastest car purchase I have ever had. They even came and took the car to get inspected so we didn’t have to. They do so much to their used cars before they put them on the lot, including new tires! Which gave us one less thing to worry about. Plus $20 oil changes for the first year! We will definitely go back. More

Not impressed. Bought a one year old Volvo certified car - picked it up and it had not even been vacuumed out and had a half tank of gas. Questioned a few chips in the windshield and was told there was noth - picked it up and it had not even been vacuumed out and had a half tank of gas. Questioned a few chips in the windshield and was told there was nothing they could do. They don’t treat their used car buyers very well. Doesn’t make me want to ever buy anything (new or used) from them. More
