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.

I didn’t feel pressured at all in my decision and I truly feel like they care about their customers and their feelings. I wasn’t pushed into buying or signing up for anything I didn’t want to. I told them my monthly payment limit and they worked with me to make it work. Highly recommend! The best car buying experience I’ve ever had. More

Outstanding! First and foremost, I am not normally a Volvo fan. Normally I wouldn't have went here. I'm glad I did. I found a gently used truck for the right price First and foremost, I am not normally a Volvo fan. Normally I wouldn't have went here. I'm glad I did. I found a gently used truck for the right price and meet Gary and Chad. I normally also dread buying a car, as often is the case, you end up spending the entire day having the sales associate go back and forth to get a price for a vehicle. Then paper work etc. That's what I'm used to. I meet Gary (that's Captain Gary Shockley-thank you for your service!), who was pretty new to Gorges. I didn't know that until later on because he didn't act like someone who was new to the job. He was great! And I felt no pressure to buy anything. Then I meet Chad who is one of the sales managers. Instantly think I'm being traded as I've often had bad experiences. Again. Not the case. Chad was very transparent on the truck and we made a handshake, the three of us, in less than 30 minutes. I was floored! Chad and Gary said that is how they do things! They held the vehicle until I could come in to sign papers. I was able to come in, sign papers over lunch and be on my way. Hope it should be done. Their loyalty program is outstanding Great group. Hope to come back again! You guys are fantastic! More
