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.

The service was done quick and I was out of the dealership within an hour and a half but this is the second time I’ve had my vehicle at the dealership for service and their car wash bay was not wor dealership within an hour and a half but this is the second time I’ve had my vehicle at the dealership for service and their car wash bay was not working.

My wife scheduled an appointment online and it was not recorded so I rescheduled for another day and when making the appointment I asked if it was going to take 2 hours for a 20 minute oil change. Well th recorded so I rescheduled for another day and when making the appointment I asked if it was going to take 2 hours for a 20 minute oil change. Well they got me and out in an hour but claimed a declined a car wash which I did not. I believe they did this so they could get out quicker but never asked me about it. The only reason we keep going to get our oil change is because its free. More

The process was fine since we knew the exact truck we wanted. Razz, our sales guy was fine and friendly during the process, his manager was the reason we hate buying cars. The finance department also t wanted. Razz, our sales guy was fine and friendly during the process, his manager was the reason we hate buying cars. The finance department also took forever and we spent 4 hours total in the dealership when we should have been in and out in an hour or so. We have also emailed some follow up questions and have not gotten any responses. Would not have bought for them if we could’ve find the truck we wanted elsewhere More
