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.

Outstanding Service!!! Josh was the first contact I made at Gateway, I came in for some maintenance on the old work truck and wasn't familiar with the dealership at all. Jos Josh was the first contact I made at Gateway, I came in for some maintenance on the old work truck and wasn't familiar with the dealership at all. Josh made me feel welcome and showed me to the exact location needed to service my vehicle. He is extremely knowledgeable and service oriented. It's a good change of pace I've had my fair share of salesmen who just don't care for the customer like they should. Josh was an exception and my next new car will be sold to me my him!!!! Gateway got a great deal with that guy!!!! More

Great customer service I pulled in to the dealership and was greeted by Josh right away. He was very nice and let me take the time to explain to him exactly what I wanted. H I pulled in to the dealership and was greeted by Josh right away. He was very nice and let me take the time to explain to him exactly what I wanted. He brought my husband and I a bottle of water and took us to the car he thought we would like based off of what I told him my interest were. We liked what he showed us, we took it on a test drive with him and during that he explained features of the car while making it an enjoyable ride. Got back to the dealership, sat down with him and he found a price that worked for us. Every car I buy from here on out will be through Josh. The dealership as a whole was great but he exceeded my expectation for what I thought the process was going to be. More

Smooth We went in wanting to trade a vehicle that we still owed on. We were expecting to be told that they wouldn't be able to make a deal happen for us, g We went in wanting to trade a vehicle that we still owed on. We were expecting to be told that they wouldn't be able to make a deal happen for us, given the amount we still owed on the vehicle we wanted to trade. But we got the opposite and it was a great relief for us. We were able to not only get a vehicle off our hands, we also got the vehicle we wanted, a 2017 Malibu. We are very happy!! More

Astonishing Anthony Luna made this the best purchasing experience my husband and I have ever had. Even with it being Labor Day weekend and the crazy amount of bus Anthony Luna made this the best purchasing experience my husband and I have ever had. Even with it being Labor Day weekend and the crazy amount of business they had, he took the time out of his hectic work day to call us for a test drive and a trade in. We walked away with a beautiful Chevy traverse ltx and we are overly thrilled with Gateway Chevrolet. Brandon brought us on a test drive and showed us all of the features of this beautiful vehicle. We are walking away as satisfied customers and will be back for any vehicle purchase or maintenance that we encounter! More
