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.

I recently had the pleasure of bringing my car to gateway for service, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. Th for service, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. The service advisor took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear explanations about the maintenance my car needed. The waiting area was comfortable and well-equipped with refreshments and Wi-Fi, making the wait time pleasant. I was particularly impressed with the efficiency and thoroughness of the service. The technicians completed the work ahead of schedule, and my car was returned to me in pristine condition, both mechanically and aesthetically. What stood out the most was the attention to detail and the transparent communication throughout the process. I received regular updates and was given a detailed report of the work done, along with recommendations for future maintenance. Overall, Gateway Chevy provided an exceptional service experience. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in every aspect of their operation. I highly recommend their service department to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality car care. I'll definitely be returning for all my future automotive needs! More

Took my truck in for a warranty repair on the A/C system blowing hot air. They told me it was going to take two days to diagnose and another day for the repair. That being said I paid for a rental truck o blowing hot air. They told me it was going to take two days to diagnose and another day for the repair. That being said I paid for a rental truck out of my own pocket for that anticipated timeframe. That same day they call and say it’s all fixed. Seemed to good to be true and it was. Next day A/C still blowing hot after a $1,000 condenser change (I only paid $100 for my warranty claim) I’m still sweating in my 2021 Silverado because they didn’t care to verify that the truck was completely fixed. I didn’t go to the dealer so I could get a “bandage repair” I’m a very busy contractor and do not have time for these games. More
