C.O. car availability affected by worldwide computer chip shortage
(Update: Adding video, comments from Robberson Ford President)
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A global computer chip shortage is having far-reaching impacts, including on the High Desert, where customers for certain in-demand vehicles might have to wait longer to get their preferred new cars or trucks.
Jeff Robberson, president of Robberson Ford, says one major factor that’s contributed to the current car shortage was the months-long shutdown of factories that produce the chips.
“We still have them -- they’re still coming," Robberson said Wednesday. "It's just that if you are coming to get a vehicle, you may not get it today. You may have to wait weeks or months to get it.”
