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.

Very disappointed with sales team. We trusted the sales person but he said that car play is available on the car. In fact the car doesn’t have car play. When we approached sales manager he wanted me to pay person but he said that car play is available on the car. In fact the car doesn’t have car play. When we approached sales manager he wanted me to pay 50% to install CarPlay. It is dealer responsibility to accommodate what promised while selling the car. I regret to buy the car from this dealer. I have been using this dealer for service for 7-8 years, service department is awesome, I never had issues with service. I really had very bad experience with car buying. I spoke to sales manager . He promised me that he check with general manager and get back to me but he never contacted me. I have been waiting for two months to get this addressed. More

We dealt with Aaron & Marcus Gorges and both Aaron Flanagan was awesome to work with. We ended up leasing a 2020 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design and love it! We dealt with Aaron & Marcus Gorges and both are great guys to work with. Almost all correspondence was done via email, which my boyfriend and I appreciated and loved! We weren't harangued with tons of calls, voicemails, texts or emails. Just necessary ones and appropriately timed touch base communications. The entire office was very friendly and personable and they have a very nice set up for you to enjoy while you're there. Aaron is very knowledgeable about the vehicle and gave us a great "tour" of it when we picked it up. The whole experience was great! More
