In March of 2017- Giving Back
Pedersen Volvo partnered with local area Volvo dealers to provide a new Volvo equipped with car seats to the Harvey Family. Wayne and Lauren Harvey, with their two children Estelle and Echo, were in a life threatening accident when a semi truck was pushed on to their Volvo during high winds on I70. Because their insurance didn't cover all the costs, Pedersen Volvo and other Colorado Volvo dealers pitched in make sure their family stays safe.
