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.

Very Pleased I had a battery failure, had to get my equinox towed, from old school never had a key-less smart car. it's not like with jumper cables you can get a I had a battery failure, had to get my equinox towed, from old school never had a key-less smart car. it's not like with jumper cables you can get a jump and at least it'll last until you get to where need. I was trying to get a jump then when keep it idling it'll hold the charge, but with this car I would come to a stop light or sign and the auto stop feature this car has would not hold the charge, so every time I came to a light and or sign I had to put it in neutral, and even then with I wanted to press the gas , I felt that I was messing the transmission. Gateway took care of me and my car was under warranty. They did a good job. but again 2 hrs to do a search to find out if it was due to the battery. More

Service is meh I've asked 2 services in a row to have a ticking noise just listened to well it's there to identify the place its coming from or if it's a normal thing. Both times it was forgot or wasnt add ticking noise just listened to well it's there to identify the place its coming from or if it's a normal thing. Both times it was forgot or wasnt addressed because "time" was what I was told. You had the truck for 2.5 hrs for an oil change and tire rotation the noise could have easily been listened to. Each wash it gets spots are left all over my vehicle, my side mirrors get wiped with dirty rags and left streaky to where I can't see out of them. Tire shine somehow always gets smeared on my back bumper chrome. Luckily it has not effected the chrome finish yet each time. More
