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.

I waited in lobby while the work was getting completed. Service was completed in the time it was quoted, and Paul brought my truck up front with the A/C running so I wouldn't have to get into a really hot truck. (It was north of 110* out that day). I would highly recommend the service department at Gateway Chevrolet. More

Sales people are great! Started with a great experience. We were not bombarded when we arrived and could freely look for a car which was nice. We highly recommend Summer or D Started with a great experience. We were not bombarded when we arrived and could freely look for a car which was nice. We highly recommend Summer or Damian in the sales department. However, the Financial office was pushy and rude when we were finishing the process. After purchasing the car we were irritated with how much Nick the finance official pushed for a plan and wouldn’t let us leave. More

Service department The last two times I have taken my vehicle there for a SCHEDULED oil changed I have sat there for over two hours. I’m sorry but it only takes 30 minut The last two times I have taken my vehicle there for a SCHEDULED oil changed I have sat there for over two hours. I’m sorry but it only takes 30 minutes to hangs oil. If I would have known the service department was this slow I would have never spent the extra money for the VIP SERVICES. Also, this last time I had my car done they called me at 3:04 & left a 3 second king voice mail not saying any words. I called them back & never go a phone call back. Went & picked up my car & the guy tried telling me they called me at 250 and my voice mail was full.. nope. Not true. I hate using this place. More

The last 2 visits the service took an hour longer than I was told and I was not contacted to be informed the service was done. I actively had to contact the dealer myself to find out my vehicle maintenance was completed. They definitely have a disconnect in communication. More

Only complaint is I've haven't had my car that long and it's a certified used vehicle, but it needs an alignment and possibly tires by next oil change. Why wasn't the alignment done before it was sold? More

Most items were completed The service department did a good job with the bed lining. The window tint was great, but didn’t clean the windows very well. It had grey smudges and The service department did a good job with the bed lining. The window tint was great, but didn’t clean the windows very well. It had grey smudges and also the truck had grey smudges. The side steps r great as well. I just didn’t get any details on the warranty for the liner and side steps. Also our second set of keys wasn’t ready. More
