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.

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.

Understanding and relateable Overall my experience was excellent! Jeremy contacted me right away since I was looking via online. He got my information and understood what I was lo Overall my experience was excellent! Jeremy contacted me right away since I was looking via online. He got my information and understood what I was looking for as well as arranged all the number and paperwork before I did the drive from Las Vegas to Phoenix. Upon arrival, he immediately went to work in showing me the truck, explaining the details and going for a test drive. It felt like buying a truck from a regular guy, not the typical "car salesman". Ronnie was the guy who did all of my final finical paperwork, he really worked hard to educate me in all my options as well as work to find me the best APR. Extremely knowledgeable in his field and very easy going type of attitude. Mack, was the negotiator in between these two stellar employs. Mack came off rude and I didn't care for some of his verbiage as he was trying to convince me to finance with him. Ultimately, it was the way he presented his side that closed me off to wanting to finance with him, at which point I stood my ground. We did come to a deal and all was well! Even with the small hiccup in the middle, I understand he was doing his job. This is why I would still highly recommend this dealership. Jeremy and Ronnie really made this entire deal happen and made it a less than painful experience. I will for sure give this dealership a look again during any future car buying. More
