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.

Lowest price and good customer service After negotiating a price at Gateway, I went to another nearby dealer for a competing quote. They could not compete with Gateway's offer. Completing t After negotiating a price at Gateway, I went to another nearby dealer for a competing quote. They could not compete with Gateway's offer. Completing the sale at Gateway was a little bumpy when a different middle-manager got involved, but we eventually got it completed to my satisfaction. Gateway sales staff need training on electric vehicles (EVs). They don't understand the issues involved in charging an EV. When you sell a gasoline powered vehicle with the tank nearly empty, it doesn't seriously impact the customer, because the nearest gas station is probably within a quarter mile and it takes just a few minutes to fill up. For an EV, the nearest charging station may be a long drive away, or closed, or inoperative. In any event, charging an EV takes anywhere from an hour to two days depending on the type of charger. I was lucky to find a charger at 5PM on Labor Day. I had to charge that vehicle until almost midnight for my drive back to Prescott. More
