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.

Excellent Charles was very helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicle as well as the others I was considering. My intention was not to purchase new but really Charles was very helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicle as well as the others I was considering. My intention was not to purchase new but really enjoyed the vehicle and couldn’t find the exact packaging that I wanted so new was the best option for me. I never felt pressured but instead Charles wanted me to make a decision I was going to regret. Charles worked with me busy schedule and got me the information without having to be at the dealership longer than I needed to be. They are a great team and work together nicely! More

Customer service at its finest! Had a wonderful experience working with the team at Gorges, especially Aaron Flanagan our Sales Associate. Not only did he spend several hours working Had a wonderful experience working with the team at Gorges, especially Aaron Flanagan our Sales Associate. Not only did he spend several hours working with us to ensure we were getting what we were looking for but also walked through feature of the car and helped me set up accessory options before leaving the dealership. In addition to this exceptional service, the finance team made it easy to complete paperwork and finalize the buying process. I would hands down recommend Gorges to anyone! Well worth the drive from Lincoln to Omaha! More

The easiest car purchase ever! We live in South Florida and after my vehicle was totaled, I needed a replacement quickly. From start to finish, Haley helped us; sending pictures, an We live in South Florida and after my vehicle was totaled, I needed a replacement quickly. From start to finish, Haley helped us; sending pictures, and giving us all the information we needed. Our negotiations were done via text (which was great), and we both agreed on a fair price. My husband flew to your dealership from Ft. Lauderdale, was picked up at the airport by your driver, taken to the dealership, and was so pleased to find out the vehicle was just as described! The transaction was completed and he was on the road in an hour. Haley even gave him snacks for his drive. We have never had such a pleasant experience purchasing a vehicle. I hope we can do business with Gorges Volvo in the future. Joel & Chad were professional and courteous. I would also like to add that Haley Frost is an asset to your company. She was very helpful, honest, and went over and above for us. Thank you! We are loving our new Jeep! More
