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.

Bad financial department Although Ajay did a great job helping us find the family vehicle we needed. The financial department turned it all into a nightmare. Once we agreed on Although Ajay did a great job helping us find the family vehicle we needed. The financial department turned it all into a nightmare. Once we agreed on what we wanted, everything seemed to be rushed from there. We were out of the loop on everything including the payments and add on warranties. Summer seemed very unorganized and openly admitted that someone gave him the wrong paperwork. 12 days later we were called back to the dealership to talk over and fix some of his mistakes. Other personnel from the financial department made sure that we fully understood everything and made it all right. Not sure if I would suggest this dealership to anyone. More

sweet xxx camaro This is my second vehicle purchase from this dealer. While every purchase was a pleasant experience, this last purchase was by far the best. All the This is my second vehicle purchase from this dealer. While every purchase was a pleasant experience, this last purchase was by far the best. All the sales staff were friendly and helpful. My salesman, Dwayne Washington listened to what I was interested in, worked to find a vehicle that matched those interests and then worked to structure the best deal. The whole process was stress free and enjoyable. I drove away in the new camaro I wanted and know that I will continue to visit this dealership for my service needs as well as any future purchases!
