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.

This is laughable as this was posted after several attempts/contacts from Kelli the service manager. Her solution was to offer me a free “regular” oil change, and an outside ONLY car wash if I purchase 4 new tires for another vehicle. The funniest part is they know what vehicle and offered regular oil for a car that requires synthetic!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! All they have done is waste my time on the phone and offer services that would void my warranty to make up for a horrible experience. THIS DEALERSHIP IS NOT CAPABLE OF SERVICING YOUR GM TO FACTORY STANDARDS!!! In fact they will inconvenience you and offer you subpar services that aren’t even up to GM standards and when there is a problem they make excuses like “Sorry I didn’t call I lost my voice” and “sorry but someone called out at the tire warehouse so maybe tomorrow”. You literally couldn’t make this up if you tried. Insane. Run far away.

My oil change was supposed to only take a couple hours. I was not called when it was done and had to call in myself after 4pm when I had an appt for service at 8am. Do who knows when my car was actually done More
