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.

Aaron recognized me by name and even though he was busy with another client, helped me and got me to Heidi. She was great too and showed me a few cars that fit my needs. I needed time to time because it was at the end of the night and they were closing. I set up another time to come in to buy the Audi, but in the mean time found another that I wanted to see. She let me come look at another, with no pressure at all to hurry up. They were all jut super nice and made my experience really great. I would most certainly recommend other people to shop there!

First car purchased on my own! My late husband and I have own 3 Volvo's, the last one we were fortunate to take advantage of the Overseas Delivery program Volvo offers, which was an My late husband and I have own 3 Volvo's, the last one we were fortunate to take advantage of the Overseas Delivery program Volvo offers, which was an amazing experience. At that time, we purchased a Volvo XC 60 2011, loved the car and the many safety features. Lots of wonderful memories were attached to this vehicle, many long road trips enjoyed during our retirement, so it was hard to think of trading this car in for a newer one. I was at the dealership for maintenance, made an appointment with Mike Percival, salesman, who we had dealt with in the past. He was so understanding, patient and helpful in explaining all of my choices and options. As always, no high pressure from anyone involved at this dealership. I decided to purchase a 2018 XC 60 with all the features, Mike checked their inventory, and one with exactly the color of interior and exterior, all of the features I wanted had just been delivered that morning. It was totally karma- decided since this was my first time to purchase a new car without my husband, I would go home and sleep on the decision. I returned the next day, spent probably 3 hours with Mike as he explained all of the wonderful features in this new vehicle, and left to drive home a very happy customer. Love the car, love the service department at Volvo, and will be a Volvo for Life customer!!! More
