It's hard to ignore media coverage of the chip shortage that's impacting vehicle supplies. What you don't hear about, however, is the ability to order a custom car built just for you. That's right - even with the inventory shortage, we're still selling new cars. The only difference is we're selling them in a way that reflects the times, meaning you can order the Buick or GMC you want by taking just a few minutes to complete our online form. Chip Shortage, Inventory Shortage, and Ordering a Custom Car Like a hurricane, the pandemic has left a trail of changes in its wake. An increasing number of people work from home, and some items are simply harder to get than others. We're mostly talking about electronics, which rely on semiconductor chips to function properly. Modern cars also need these chips, and thanks to the global shortage, auto manufacturing is slower than normal. This is why you see fewer vehicles on dealer lots. The Perfect Storm If you're like most people, you probably wonder what caused the shortage of chips in the first place. It can't be attributed to a single cause but is instead the result of multiple factors that created the perfect storm. In 2020, most auto manufacturers ceased operations as states mandated corporate shutdowns. Parts orders were likewise canceled, and the need for semiconductor chips was largely forgotten in the chaos. In addition, demand for new cars is at an incredible high right now. The economy is slowly but surely recovering, renewing confidence and prompting people to put a new Buick or GMC in their driveway. The result? Vehicles are less readily available than in times past. Your Made-to-Order Vehicle None of this means, however, that buying a new car is out of the question. In fact, we have an option you're sure to love: order the vehicle you want using our easy online form. You still receive the same great service from our staff without having to come into the dealer. Neither do you have to sacrifice any of the options or creature comforts that matter to you. In fact, you can detail to us the exact model, trim, and color you want. And if you long for leather seats and/or driver assist aids, include this information on the digital form. We'll then go to work getting the exact truck or SUV you specify. A Simple Process We've designed the ordering process to be as quick and easy as possible. Simply visit our website, select the Buick or GMC you want, and click the Start Your Order button that matches your model. A short form will appear in your browser that can be completed in minutes. Once your online request is received, a member of our sales team will be in touch to ask a few questions and submit your order. You'll never pay an extra fee for custom ordering your vehicle, and we'll contact you the moment your new car arrives at our dealership. We can even arrange a delivery time and location that suits your schedule. And financing options are available. Don't let a fear of what you hear in the media keep you from a new truck or SUV. We're working just as hard as ever to get drivers into the vehicles they want - and the sooner you place your order, the sooner your car will arrive.
