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 successful, non-stressful event. Dan Birge was very responsive in answering our questions and getting answers to other questions during the days leading up to our decision to travel f Dan Birge was very responsive in answering our questions and getting answers to other questions during the days leading up to our decision to travel from Colorado Springs to Omaha and purchase the pre-owned 2017 XC60 Inscription from Gorges Volvo Cars. The price was fair, even with the added travel expense. I really appreciate Dan’s taking the time to pick me up at the airport and transport me to the dealership. Once at the dealership, Dan, Joel and Marcus made the entire purchase process efficient. I appreciated their efficiency and respect for my time, as I had a long trip a head of me. However, the 970mile 14-hr drive back to Colorado Springs, via Booneville, MO, was a very enjoyable relaxing experience in our just-purchased XC60. I’d recommend Dan and the Gorges Team to anyone!

We purchased 2 cars from Volvo within a few months of each other and neither time did we feel pressured or like they were playing games (which we've experience d plenty of at other dealerships). When it came time to set-up the on call and go over features, our salesman spent the time to answer ALL of my questions and explained the tech in a way I could easily duplicate when it was my turn to use it on my own.

Mike was so knowlegible ab We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Gorges Volvo! The sales staff was excellent, Mike Percival was outstanding! Mike was so knowlegible about the functions of the vehicle and took a lot of time to walk us through everything and made sure we knew every possible function of the car and really went the extra step to make sure we were comfortable with our purchase. We really appreciate the time he took! The financing was done in a matter of minutes and they were very friendly and not pushy at all! I would highly recommend any of my friends and family to go to Gorges Volvo we had an excellent car shopping experience!!! More

Received a quick response back on my inquiry and arrange for test drive. We had purchased 2 other Volvo’s here but were working with a new sales person Aaron. He proved to be both courteous and professional. He was well informed and explained the many safety features that came with this model. The entire process was outstanding. Beside the quality of their vehicles you are always treated in a special and professional manner. More
