Joe Gambino, Sr has had a passion for cars since he was a young boy. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York he was afforded many opportunities, but none compared to his dreams of one day owning his own car dealership.
In 1956 Mr. Gambino and his wife moved to Phoenix, AZ and purchased Bobby Unser Chevrolet in 1983. The store was renamed Joe Gambino Chevrolet shortly thereafter. For years, Mr. Gambino lived the life he had always dreamed of and enjoyed the privilege of being the furthest Chevrolet dealer west in the country. People flocked from miles around to visit Joe Gambino Chevrolet because of their honest, up-front business model: We're not completely satisfied until you're completely satisfied.At Joe Gambino's Gateway Chevrolet, we believe a trusting relationship with our customers is the best way to run a business. We don't just want one-time customers; we want you to purchase vehicles from us for generations to come. We want you to become a part of the Gateway Chevrolet family, and believe, just as Joe Gambino, Sr did, that a family run business is the best type of business.
A lot of things have changed over the years, but two things remain the same. A family owned business with over 30 years of experience in the Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale and greater Arizona area, and our philosophy: we're not completely satisfied until you're completely satisfied.
In 1997, Joe Gambino Chevrolet became Gateway Chevrolet and in January 2002, they moved from their old location on East Van Buren to a brand-new state of the art facility in the Avondale Automall located at 9901 W. Papago Freeway. The new location provided expanded service bays, comfortable customer areas and even more room for inventory; but most importantly, an ease of business that can only be translated into happy customers.Joe Gambino, Sr has a son Joseph (or Joe Jr.) Joe Jr's affinity for rare automobiles and to be just like his dad led him into the business at a young age. When Joe Jr was 23, he became a sales person at Gateway Chevrolet. His determination for success and perfection led him up through the ranks until 2010 when he became the General Manager of Gateway Chevrolet. Committed to selling cars at a great price and maintaining a positive relationship with the community, Joe Gambino, Jr. and Joe Gambino's Gateway Chevrolet have become a staple in the Phoenix and Greater Arizona area.

This is the second vehicle I bought from Gateway in 4 years. The first sale on a Silverado Extended cab 4X4, Gateway impressed the living snot out of me. the salesman was outstanding the mode of operatio years. The first sale on a Silverado Extended cab 4X4, Gateway impressed the living snot out of me. the salesman was outstanding the mode of operation at the dealership was smooth and efficient. It took 15 minutes to complete the deal I felt it was very favorable to me. This deal did not go down quite so smooth, It was an internet deal as I didn't have the time to dick around playing the car buying game as at this point in my life I simply don't have any down time. I got 4 internet quotes and they were very close about $230 difference from highest to lowest. After a very unprofessional display of conduct at the lowest price dealership, my wife an I discussed it on the way home and decided to give Gateway a second chance as they are on the way home. The reason I didn't buy the car wensday was we had appointment with Louis at 9:00, he didn't show . we spent about an hour and a half dealing with what I percieved to be a very green kid. Need less to say I was pissed. So after the incedent at the compettitive dealer. we decided to give Gateway another shot. I gave Louis a call and said I'de be there in about 30 minutes. This time they had their xxxx together and things went nearly as smooth as last time, they gave us the whole show. How would I rate Gateway..... Better than average for the valley! More
