Our history

Founded in 2002, Gateway Auto is a family-owned business defined by its relationships to its loyal employees, customers, and suppliers. Together, these people make up our Gateway Auto family, the reason we exist today.

Humble beginnings

Our story begins in the mid-‘90s, when Omaha native Ben Toscano started buying and selling cars as a hobby. For Ben, it was never about the money. He immediately fell in love with the industry that let him use his honesty and interpersonal skills.

The birth of Gateway Auto

Soon, word spread about Ben’s side project, and his friends started asking for repairs. Ben’s wife, Sandy, saw potential in the business and committed her keen management skills to the budding business. In 2002, the Toscanos opened a shop in the Gateway Business Park, and Gateway Auto was born.

Growing in the community

In 2011, we opened doors at our flagship Service & Collision Center, which is still going strong at 110th & Harrison. Since then, we've opened a dedicated sales lot at 108th & L and a standalone service center at 133rd & B. We're rapidly growing with one mission in mind: to better serve the people and community we love.

Today & beyond

Our vision is to create the most cutting-edge, all-inclusive automotive center in the nation, and to do so in a way that positively impacts both our community and our environment.
