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.

HOWARD WENT ABOVE & BEYOND!!!! HE IS THE MAN! Hello, My wife and I recently had our vehicle stolen, we went in thinking we would not be approved for the truck of our dreams. Until we met HOWARD Hello, My wife and I recently had our vehicle stolen, we went in thinking we would not be approved for the truck of our dreams. Until we met HOWARD, he went above and beyond and worked out an amazing deal for us. Watching him in action and seeing how hard he fought to get us into the vehicle we wanted at the payment we wanted was amazing. He is very passionate about what he does and he tells you how it is. Never in my life did I expect to walk out so happy! I recommend him and Gateway Chevrolet to all my friends, family and co workers. Ask for Howard and let him know Melissa Perez recommended you! HE IS THE MAN! THANKS AGAIN HOWARD More

Disgusting uneducated General Manager Very rude and pushy sales people. I was going to purchase a truck when I witnessed the General Manager Howard yelling and mistreating a young family i Very rude and pushy sales people. I was going to purchase a truck when I witnessed the General Manager Howard yelling and mistreating a young family in front of their small child. Howard yelled at the family about a price I believe. It was just horrible. I pray that child did not get traumatized. I was even going to call the police! I am still going to purchase a truck but not with that Chevrolet. Horrible to witness so much disrespect towards a human being let alone in front of a child in one visit. Shame on you Howard. More
