To Sarpy County’s Best, Gateway Auto, “Driven By People” Is More Than A Catchy Slogan

Gateway Auto, a local, family-run all-in-one automotive center has swept the Seventh Annual Sarpy County People’s Choice Awards. The list of awards includes: Best Used Auto Dealer, Auto Repair, Body Shop, Brake Service, Oil Change Facility, and Transmission Service.

Voted for by the local community, Gateway attributes its multi-category achievements to its powerful mission to serve, not sell, its customers. This drive is rooted in owners Ben and Sandy's shared experience as Postal Service workers, and amplified by mentorship from Sandy's dad, Frank, a lifelong business owner himself.

Founded in 2002, Gateway Auto was built on nights and weekends as Ben worked his day job at the Post Office for seven years while Sandy managed the shop day-to-day. Conscious of the fact that neither of them had run an automotive shop before, the company focused on surrounding themselves with successful, experienced staff that customers could trust. With these seasoned technicians leading the shop, the fledgling business acted like a seasoned veteran in the industry, and it hasn't changed. The caliber of their work, combined with Ben and Sandy's flexible demeanor and desire for work/life balance naturally attracted the best local talent, aiding in exceptional growth. But they knew they couldn't stop innovating.

Over the past three years, Gateway Auto has been preparing for the future of automotive service. You can see the start of the changes they’re making by visiting their website and booking an appointment online without ever having to talk to anybody. By 2021 the company will be offering online video inspections and will have an interactive online portal that helps customers monitor and keep track of their service history as easily as they can track a pizza being delivered from Domino’s.
 

The company's goal is to use online services to amplify and extend the capabilities of their team, creating an automotive service experience unlike anything seen before in Omaha. Their hope is that this effort will attract customers who prefer enhanced transparency and convenience.
