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.

Great service. I ordered a truck bed cover for my new Chevy Colorado. It arrived within two days and was scheduled for installation the same day it arrived. Once ins I ordered a truck bed cover for my new Chevy Colorado. It arrived within two days and was scheduled for installation the same day it arrived. Once installed, David Sanchez (the service manager) demonstrated how to open, close, and remove the cover. I appreciated the extra steps they took to insure I was happy and knowledgeable about my new truck accessory. Thanks. More

Best car buying experience I have ever had I have been purchasing cars and trucks for over 35 years and buying my new Colorado ZR2 Bison was the easiest and most pleasant buying experience I ha I have been purchasing cars and trucks for over 35 years and buying my new Colorado ZR2 Bison was the easiest and most pleasant buying experience I have ever had. The sales staff was excellent from the salesman to each manager. The finance director capped it all off with explaining the additional offers very well and he was extremely personable. The purchase went from transactional to relational quickly and we even chatted about life in general for over a half an hour after we were through with the deal. These folks are wonderful to deal with and the upfront low prices was the icing on the cake. More
