When Will The Chip Shortage End?

With a record number of vehicle owners looking to purchase a new vehicle, many car shoppers are surprised to find limited inventory choices at local dealerships. That's because a worldwide computer chip shortage is interrupting the manufacturing supply chain. If you didn’t know about the chip shortage, you could read about it here and how it affects manufacturers and dealerships worldwide. The chip shortage is still affecting many dealerships, and it will be a factor for some time. Forbes estimates that the current production rate and limited supply for certain materials needed for the conductivity of these chips won’t be back to reasonable levels by the end of the first quarter of 2022. As one of Southwest's largest dealerships, Melloy Dodge is still regularly receiving new vehicles allocations. Because many other dealers' supplies are limited, we often have a waiting list and see some incoming vehicles sold even before they reach the lot. If you're in the market for a new or preowned vehicle, we strongly encourage you to let one of our sales team know what you want, then you'll be notified when we have it or know when it will arrive. We are also taking pre-orders for vehicles we currently do not have in stock, so you can purchase the exact model you want. We are also buying recent-model-year used vehicles and getting them quickly inspected and prepared for sale so you can test drive and start your loan process. The Melloy Dodge family understands how difficult the current vehicle situation is. We continue to work diligently to provide the new Dodge, Ram, and Fiat models our customers want and a selection of preowned cars, trucks, and SUVs. If you are looking to upgrade your current vehicle, the Melloy Dodge New and Used Car Dealership does have a lot to offer. We get new and used vehicles daily, and they are all available to you to test drive! Stop in at Melloy Dodge on Coors, just north of Paseo Del Norte, and see what we can do for you! Remember, we like to say DEAL!
