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.

Bad experience Would not recommend this dealership to my worst enemy.. Management treated us poorly, walked out on deal because of this. Manager started to raise his Would not recommend this dealership to my worst enemy.. Management treated us poorly, walked out on deal because of this. Manager started to raise his voice and made us uncomfortable, Definitely not the type of person you want to sign a contract with. Continued to curse and yell after we walked out, showed us how much they value their customers. More

Daniel was great.. But.. Daniel was my service guy and he was great. Who ever the lady is that is the main phone operator should be fired. I’ve called many times after buying Daniel was my service guy and he was great. Who ever the lady is that is the main phone operator should be fired. I’ve called many times after buying a new car and she has never been helpful, almost like she’s annoyed that I called. It makes me not want to call or go back. The cashier from Santa Barbara was super great too. But seriously the “customer service” operator is not good at her job More

Easiest car purchase ever Gateway was definitely worth the drive and time. I started the process online Daniel my salesman worked with me the entire time and was super friendly Gateway was definitely worth the drive and time. I started the process online Daniel my salesman worked with me the entire time and was super friendly. Daniel even delivered my new car to me because my new Equinox just came off the truck and could not be ready for me to drive home after I was all done. The finance department was also super awesome. He kept my payments right where I wanted them. The only complaint I have was when my car was delivered it wasn’t as clean as I expected such as the steering wheel was still really dirty. More
