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.

Tech doesn't need to go through my truck service writers and staff were very pleasant. but what put a sour taste in me was as i watch the tech back my truck out from getting a simple oil chan service writers and staff were very pleasant. but what put a sour taste in me was as i watch the tech back my truck out from getting a simple oil change. He proceeded to "floor it" on the pavement and chirp the tires, then backed it up into the overflow parking area hitting the curb. (i have offroad wheels and tires) the left rear wheel was scratched. then the radio was changed on stations, center console items moved around. all mirrors were adjusted and seats. and with my bigger tires i run i higher tire pressure than the door sticker and was 12lbs less in all 4 tires. PLEASE STOP MESSING WITH CUSTOMER VEHICLES. More

Best sales interaction at a dealership in decades. Had no intention of buying a vehicle, when Jeremy met me at my car. I told him we were just looking and would like to see a brochure for the trucks.He Had no intention of buying a vehicle, when Jeremy met me at my car.
