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.

Simple Oil Change We bought the lifetime oil change/tire rotation package. This is the 11 oil change we have brought the car in for and EVERY single appointment has bee We bought the lifetime oil change/tire rotation package. This is the 11 oil change we have brought the car in for and EVERY single appointment has been screwed up one way or another. We had to recently purchase a new set of tires for the car and I fully believe because the tires were never rotated when requested. Several times I had to take the car BACK because the paperwork said they couldn't find the key to the tire locks. This time my daughter brought in and after close to 2-1/2 hrs I called and asked why the car wasn't done -- 2 minutes later someone came out and said the car was done. My guess is the car sat and no one let her know. In addition, one of the caps to the wheels was missing -- seriously how hard is an oil change - can we get the car back just ONCE with the service being done correctly. We ended up pulling a cap off of a spare tire we had at home -- doesn't completely match but at least it is not missing!! I would NEVER trust this service center for anything and am trying to see if I can transfer my lifetime oil package to another Chevy dealer. More

Each ti I, Purchased my Silverado back in November of 2015. Gateway Chevrolet is the only place I've taken it to for service they are my local dealer. Each time I come in for service or any repairs I'm greeted with a smile and a hello from the service department staff. John Sheldon is my service rep and he does an outstanding job. Even though I receive notice in the mail about any recalls or anything that pertains to my vehicle John's always there to make sure I'm fully aware of what's going on with my vehicle. John is a great asset to your service team. More
