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.

There are a couple of reasons I am not rating Gateway a 5 star. When I first came in for the trail boss it was not on the lot yet. I could not put a down payment on the truck to hold it because of dealer rul star. When I first came in for the trail boss it was not on the lot yet. I could not put a down payment on the truck to hold it because of dealer rules. But I sat down with my two salesman and came to a good "basic" agreement on the final payment. We also agreed that once the truck arrived I would be able to put a down payment for it over the phone. I work in Flagstaff so that was the best way for me to reserve the truck. The truck came in on a Tuesday and I was called but was told I could not put the down payment in over the phone. So I had to drive down that evening to make the deal on the truck. My 2 salesman were not working that day so any deals we talked about suddenly did not exist. So I had to work the deal again and had to compromise on my loan term. The other item that really irked me was the dealer add-ons that I was told by my original salesmen that they could remove for me, since they did not have the truck yet and these could be left off. This would have saved me over a thousand dollars. I do not need the tint and door guards from the dealer! But I was told on the day I finalized the deal that these add ons are a requirement by ownership. I will say that the team that I worked with overall was very good. But there things agreed upon that did not happen. More
