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.

Haley Frost was my sales rep, and she was extremely straightforward and helpful when it came to my car search. The team worked hard to earn my business and went above and beyond to make the process easy for me, even bringing the car to my office for me to test drive. No matter what questions I had, Haley was just a text away! My family has purchased many cars from Gorges, and I would definitely work with Haley, Joel, and Marcus again. More

Finally a dealership that didn't feel like a car dealership!

I wasn't set on the Grand Cherokee or Gorges but Aaron made me want to do business with them right off the bat. He was very helpful without being overbearing and didn't play the classic pricing games or haggle repeatedly. Even after I chose the car he went over and above to make sure the vehicle was perfect and I was happy. I had just as great of experience with finance, who made sure I was in and out as quickly as possible with a good interest rate. I'll gladly buy my next vehicle at Gorges, too! More
