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.

Highly Recommend My experience leasing a Volvo XC60 was the best I've had with any dealership in Omaha.

Mike was great to work with--very helpful, professional, and knowledgable. After some not-so-great experiences at some other dealerships, this was a refreshing and welcome change. There was never any high pressure sales pitch and it was clear that both Mike and Joel were focused on customer satisfaction. I will definitely recommend Gorges Volvo to my family and friends. More

Wonderful Experience My mother and I were in the market for a white Jeep Renegade at a reasonable price. I had found this Jeep at Gorges Volvo Cars, and I absolutely loved My mother and I were in the market for a white Jeep Renegade at a reasonable price. I had found this Jeep at Gorges Volvo Cars, and I absolutely loved everything about the Jeep and my experience. I was approached in a very friendly, respectful and professional manner. I talked with Heidi about everything I wanted and needed in a vehicle and she assured me that the Jeep was a great fit. Heidi did an incredible job on finding my perfect vehicle. She not only cared about my experience at Gorges, but as a person too. She spent genuine time getting to know my mother and I. I would highly recommend working with Heidi. She’s amazing! After all the details were worked out, we worked with Joel. Joel did a fantastic job on finding me a great interest rate and reliable bank to finance through. Joel is extremely knowledgeable and caring. He wants to get you the best possible deal on your perfect car. We were in and out of the finance office quickly! I would absolutely recommend Gorges Volvo. More

Both new and used car buying were great! I have been purchasing Volvos from Gorges since 2000 and have always found them to be wonderful, attentive, and upfront in our transactions. Most rec I have been purchasing Volvos from Gorges since 2000 and have always found them to be wonderful, attentive, and upfront in our transactions. Most recently my salesperson has been Charles Erickson. That guy knows Volvos in and out and then some! When I ask pointed questions he gives me a straight answer so when I needed a good used car for a young driver I looked to Gorges as a place I could trust. I inquired online about a 2011 GMC and heard back in short order. Charles went through the car with me, we reviewed the Carfax, and it was a done deal. Buying used cars can be a dicey proposition but Charles and Gorges put me at ease. My philosophy was if Gorges had it on their lot to sell and didn't send it to auction after the trade-in it must be in good shape! More

Best used car buying experience EVER! From the moment I walked through the door the first time to test drive a car I had seen online, to the time I walked out as the owner of a used vehicl From the moment I walked through the door the first time to test drive a car I had seen online, to the time I walked out as the owner of a used vehicle from Gorges Volvo, I was treated with nothing but respect. Mike Percival treated me like family. I never once felt uncomfortable or pressured to buy a car. He was easy going and fun to talk to! He even polished up the headlamps on my current vehicle that I am passing down to my daughter because he felt that they were unsafe with all of the foggy build up on them!! Joel Palmquist in finance was equally as respectful and helpful. The process which I expected to be painful was a breeze and I left feeling happy and upbeat, not exhausted or frustrated. So if you’d like a hassle free, enjoyable experience (who knew there was on?) buying a car...get to Gorges Volvo!! Thank you so much Mike and Joel! More
