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.

I was disappointed in the service I received. 1st of all, I sat in the waiting room for 2 hours and eventually went to Zack’s office for an update of changing the battery in my 2011 Cruze. 2nd… 1st of all, I sat in the waiting room for 2 hours and eventually went to Zack’s office for an update of changing the battery in my 2011 Cruze. 2nd… I was told the current battery was out of warranty and expired and the cost of a new one. I accepted the information and gave permission to change to the battery. After discussing the event with my son n same day, he came up there and discussed why I needed a new battery. The current one was still under warranty and I should have paid only the maintenance to change the battery. Zack confirmed this and I was given a refund for the cost of new battery. I’m upset because I have brought my car up there multiple times for service and wonder how many times I was overcharged. More

Very horrible experience and poor service. Went in for an oil change with an appointment. 4 1/2 hours later I got my truck. I decided to wait for it and figure it’ll be like 2 hours max. When Went in for an oil change with an appointment. 4 1/2 hours later I got my truck. I decided to wait for it and figure it’ll be like 2 hours max. When I asked the advisor for any updates. He just said i don’t know, wait for a text. Could have at least showed some empathy or apologized for the long wait time. No point in doing an appointment if it’s going to take so long. Might as well be walk in More
