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.

While negotiating a price, Mr. Gorges came out to the salesmans desk and the negotiation took about 2 minutes. None of this write an offer and then wait 15 minutes for a counter offer that might take an hour or more to reach a deal. I really appreciated that. We also had been preapproved through our local credit union for the loan and their financial office was able to beat that rate through their network of lenders. Overall we were very happy with the purchase and will go there again More

We didn't feel any pressure like you do at other dealerships. Everything was done in a timely manner and it didn't take very long at all to complete the purchase process.

No pressure, explained everything, and a really thorough expl My wife had purchased an XC60 from Mike in 2015 and the entire experience was fantastic. No pressure, explained everything, and a really thorough explanation of the entire process. In December of last year we stopped in for an oil change and I told Mike that if he ever received a V70 in stock, to please call me immediately. I knew the V70 was rare; I had spent a lot of time in 2017 scouring 500 miles outside of Omaha area for one without 200,000 miles with absolutely zero success. I had given Mike a budget, miles, and color options and went back to searching online. Last week Mike called me with news. He had gotten one in on trade. It was cheaper, had fewer miles, and was in better condition than anything I had found on the internet between Denver and Chicago. He could have quoted a higher price knowing I really wanted one. He could have sold it for more to someone else. But he didn’t. He called me immediately and tonight I drove home my new car. It’s almost too easy to buy a car from Mike and Gorges Volvo. More
