Local car dealerships face shortages driven by chip shortage

Drive down Interstate 35 and take a gander at most automotive dealerships and what you’ll see is a veritable parking lot, almost void of cars, trucks and SUVs.

For months now automotive dealers have been reeling over shortages of inventory due to a multitude of reasons — primarily a shortage of computer chips essential to their operation of vehicles. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’s going to end soon as analysts predict early 2023 before things get back to normal.

Jarrett Davies, General Manager of Chuck Nash Chevrolet says the last 12 months have posed a greater challenge for businesses than anyone could imagine, most notably in the retail automotive industry.
