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.

Came in for a truck service from so called professionals Came in to get my vehicle service by the dealership itself. Only because who can take care of my vehicle better than them, right . Wrong. After the ti Came in to get my vehicle service by the dealership itself. Only because who can take care of my vehicle better than them, right . Wrong. After the tire rotation, they didn’t put on the lug nuts cap on. So now only 2 out of the 4 are on. This is not the first time xxxx like this happens. Last time the crew left a bottle of a chemical used to clean the vehicle on the back seat where it spilled all over and stained the seat. I have tried contacting the employees who took my vehicle in for servicing for 3 days and it goes to voicemail after being transferred. What’s going on?!!!! More

Ok Review Since all my experiences from the work that was supposed to be done with the car, with my radio, or mic, I would not let gateway do any service to my Since all my experiences from the work that was supposed to be done with the car, with my radio, or mic, I would not let gateway do any service to my car, just oil changes, why, because they will just say, call general motors, that is the perception that I get from this dealership. not willing to go above and beyond, and giving me a rental when they are not supposed to, is not going above and beyond, that is doing your job, but overall the oil changed took forever 3 hours when I used to do them within a hour and then mike telling me that they put my keys at his old desk for how long, this place is unorganized, More
