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.

First dealership I go to that doesn't put your car through the wash. I guess I'm spoiled at the other dealerships, and I have been through many dealerships.. More

Hi YAKSAG, We want all our clients to have a comfortable and stress-free experience with us! Thank you for bring up this issue with us. The car wash is currently down and we are in the middle of replacing it with a new one. All Autos ( service and sales) are being hand wash and this does take up extra time to complete. We value you that your time is precious and we want you to be in and out quickly and to your satisfaction. Please call our Management Department to go over this issue with you. 623-687-3503. Thank you again for choosing Gateway Chevrolet, Inc. and we hope to see you again. Best Wishes, Team Gateway

You can depend on John Sheldon to always have his 'nose to the grindstone'. It seems that hard, honest work is important to everyone I have met at this dealership. More

Your customer's find that you always strive to do your best, read that a few dealers try to follow, then read about the dealers that flat out do not care what is 'right, or what is wrong', and that no attention, do those dealerships pay, to numerous unending poor reviews. I thank you

Far more than 25 words...would love to discuss with owner or General Manager. Salesperson not listed-just guessed. Tony in Finance was awesome however! More
