What is your favorite customer story since working at Gorges?

A longtime customer and retired U.S. Army General was on her way to Washington D.C. in her older Volvo when she broke down in Salina, Kansas. We sent two employees in two cars to assist her. The car couldn’t be repaired on the road, so we gave her one of the cars with a full tank of gas and she went on her way.

 

Little did we know she was on her way to a very important General Staff meeting. She hated flying, so she chose to drive. We got her car back to our own facility and had it repaired. She picked it up on her way back to Western Kansas. I will never forget her enthusiasm for the way we handled the situation.  She really was blown away by the above and beyond effort Gorges made to keep her on the road.
