At Centennial Subaru of Nevada, our customers come first and foremost. To know we remain with you during times of delays and are committed to assisting our clients with all their vehicle needs. While a greater portion of our lives have returned to normal, some industries continue to strive. The automotive industry has recently been greatly impacted by longer shipping times, manufacturing delays, and parts shortages (though we are seeing this subside to a great degree). Noticing fewer new vehicle models available, vehicle wait lists, and an increase in factory orders.
What Automotive Shortages Mean for the Consumer
Why is the auto industry being affected? The answer is complicated and spans across the world with several factors. Supply shortages, especially chips, are forcing manufacturers to wait for longer amounts of time while demands continue to increase. Automotive chips, also called microchips, are crucial to the manufacture of vehicles as they are the “brains” of your modern vehicle. As your vehicle is essentially run via the electrical system, features such as your power windows, ABS, LED lights, GPS, and additional “smart” features utilized such as Lane Keep are all controlled by the vehicle’s microchips. As chip manufacturers struggle to catch up to the automotive industry, they’re met with long shipping times, employee shortages, and other delays, continuing to impact all aspects of the industry.
