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.

Natcruzz, Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear your comments about your recent experience. We understand it wasn't ideal for you to have to drive back up from Tucson twice. unfortunately, all parties that are on the loan need to come sign all documents for the purchase. Sometimes we forget the very obvious things we deal with every day. But we cannot release the vehicle until that occurs. Again, we are sorry for any inconvenience. This unfortunately could not be avoided. We do appreciate you and thank you again for the business.

Natcruzz responded

I understand that part, but you placed the blame on my bank, never took responsibility, took extremely long to do paperwork, we had to go find you guys multiple times to tell you we sent you what we asked and we were just waiting, insulted me by saying that you weren’t even “making that much” on my sale of a 17k car. The car was also listed as keyless entry and push to start, neither of which are true. You never filled up the gas tanks like you said you would, and you had that car parked behind us and did not move it for about 10 minutes, maybe even longer, until another salesman got upset and had someone move it. Who then just hopped in and moved it, they didn’t even need to get keys. Idk why it took them so long to do that if we were sitting in the car in front of them, waiting to leave, and they had keys all along. All of those things WERE in your control.
