As the world adapts to a changing environment and returns to normal, some industries have struggled to catch up. If you’ve been looking at new vehicles lately, you’ve probably noticed that the auto industry is among those with massive shortages, shipping delays, and limited availability. Manufacturers are issuing disclaimers for limited, late, or possibly no availability for certain features, frustrating customers, technicians, dealerships, and everyone in between. At Benna Ford, we’ve seen the impact that worldwide shortages have had on our customers, and we want you to know that we’re committed to doing the best we can in a constantly changing world.

Shortages, Delays, and More

Chip shortages, long shipping times, and manufacturing backlogs. It affects every step of the automotive manufacturing process, and it’s still happening long after other industries have (mostly) returned to business as usual. But why is that? There are several reasons that all come together as one. Parts manufacturers are faced with supply shortages that set them back, and keeping up with staffing only makes the problem worse. With fewer warehouse workers, drivers, and skilled personnel, everyone is struggling to keep up. By the time manufacturers do receive parts, they’re already faced with long wait lists and full reservations that they must fill first. With so many cogs in the wheel, it’s easy to see why the car business is so affected.
