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.

In 2017 when our son needed a vehicle, we returned and were treated with the same friendly, professional service. Fast forward to January 2018, we found ourselves in the market for a vehicle once more due to an accident. Our first call was to Dan Birge at Gorges. We explained what we were looking for and Dan was able to accommodate our request in no time! Our experience with Gorges Volvo has been nothing but positive! From the sales department to finance to service-they are focused on assuring the best experience possible for their clients. We would not go anywhere else. More

I never once felt pressured to make a decision or felt like I needed to be wary of what was being said or offered. Dan did an exceptional job helping educate me on the features and making sure i am set up to get the most out of my car. Joel thoroughly handled all the questions on financing and protection options. Again, never once felt pressured, always felt he was looking out for my best interests. The friendliness and service was great. I love my new Volvo. I know it's going last for ever. Can't wait to see how good the services dept is. More

Our salesperson was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job of finding the right car for our needs. He took time to explain features and show us how they work. He even helped us sync our phones with the Bluetooth!! Financing was painless. Most of it was done over the phone and paperwork was ready for us when we arrived to get the car!! Warranty options were explained clearly and.we did not feel pressure to purchase extra options that did not fit our needs. More

Great overall experience. Went smooth and stress free. This car dealership never made me feel rushed or pressured into buying a vehicle and the extras that go along with the purchase of my vehicle. My sal This car dealership never made me feel rushed or pressured into buying a vehicle and the extras that go along with the purchase of my vehicle. My salesman was new in this job, but I felt he did a great job overall and was very personable.The finance manger also did a great job in helping us get into the vehicle we loved with no added pressure throughout the process to go over what we were comfortable with dealing with our payments. Service center was also great with the few small issues that needed corrected with car. They got the part and fixed vehicle in a timely manner. Overall I would definitely recommend this dealership and will return in the future for another Volvo. More
