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.

Once you get there, Charles welcomes you and ask if you want some coffee or water..., years ago, I went other places, but honestly I didn’t find people treat you like that...The service is good and they are so kind, answering all your questions, even if asked 100 times. I appreciated so much Haley and Joe. I got what I saw in the website and hope that it’s a good deal and will recommend people to go there... I’ll purchase my next vehicle at the same place. More

Mike was easy to contact and maintained great co Gorges Volvo was very quick to respond to my request for more information on the vehicle I purchased. Mike was easy to contact and maintained great communication. Their finance department was able to approve my application quickly and were willing to run any combination of numbers I sent their way. Mike helped me set up a test drive, explained the features and specifics of my car, and gave me plenty of time to drive around during my test drive. Mike made purchasing my vehicle very easy, answering all my questions. He was positive, pleasant, and wanted to help me in any way he could. I appreciate his helpfulness and willingness to assist me.

Charles and the team were straightforward and I felt like they actually valued my business because they made the process seamless. I look forward to continuing to work with them. They are a walking advertisement for Volvo. No high pressure add-ons, fair pricing, and they went above and beyond in getting the car here, without me even asking. Negotiations for other cars has felt adversarial and uncomfortable, but this experience left me feeling like I got a great car at a fair price and they handled all the details. More
