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 dealership could have gotten me a better deal on my trade in. Finally trying to push an extended warranty on me for a brand new vehicle that was only good for 5 years. Realistically nothing major will trade in. Finally trying to push an extended warranty on me for a brand new vehicle that was only good for 5 years. Realistically nothing major will happen to the vehicle. The vehicle is nice. The sales agent Daniel Mendez was nice and respectful. More

I went to get my oil changed and tires rotated, as well as check on why my car kept giving a message that it could not shift to park. Employees were nice enough; however, are not good at providing updates. as check on why my car kept giving a message that it could not shift to park. Employees were nice enough; however, are not good at providing updates. We were at there for 2 1/2 hours before we learned that they needed to go pick up a part to repair the shift issue and that was because my husband went to ask for an update. Additionally, we were told that the oil change nor the tire rotation had been done yet, so it was going to take hours to fix the shift issue and do the oil change/tire rotation after. By the time everything was fixed, we had been there for over 5 1/2 hours. More

My service advisor was very helpful and only concentrated what I actually requested for service. He never tried to up sell, or pressure additional services which other dealers (aka Surprise Ford) always tend what I actually requested for service.
