If you watch the news, you’ve likely heard of the chip shortage that’s affecting the supply of electronic devices, home appliances, and – yes – new cars. This explains the inventory shortage you see on nearly every dealership lot. But don’t let this deter you from shopping for the vehicle you’ve been thinking about. We’re letting buyers custom order the Chevy model and trim they want with an easy online form that takes only minutes to complete.
Chip Shortage, Inventory Shortage, and Placing a Custom Order
In the aftermath of the pandemic, automakers around the world are facing a shortage of semiconductor chips. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) shuttered their doors in the second quarter of 2020 to comply with state shutdown orders. Accordingly, they also canceled their parts orders, including those for chips.
Now, a shortage of chips is impacting a number of industries as the economy continues to recover. Keep in mind chips are used in all electronics, from smartphones to gaming devices. On top of this, a frenzy for new cars is being fed by factors like:
- Low interest rates
- Opportunities for high savings
- Government stimulus payments
Fewer New Cars Than Usual
You might see fewer cars than usual on dealer lots, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the new vehicle you long for. We’ve adjusted our sales process and now allow customers to order the precise vehicle they want through our website. This is an easy way to get behind the wheel of a new car, and online orders are managed by our expert staff. You need only to provide us with a few details, and we’ll get to work ordering the exact Chevy you want.
The benefits of made-to-order shopping are many, including the chance to tell us which trim and specifications you want on your truck, SUV, or car. You might, for instance, want heated seats, leather upholstery, or a specific body color. You can include this information with the online order form without having to leave your home or office.

Once you’ve settled on the Chevy you want, visit our website, choose Order a New Vehicle from the dropdown menu under New, and click the Start Your Order button that corresponds with your model. This will take you to an order form with just a few fields that need to be completed. After we receive your online request, a member of our sales team will contact you to complete the order.
The Final Steps
Chevrolet does not charge additional fees for custom vehicle orders, and we’ll notify you as soon as your new car arrives at our dealership. At that time, we’ll also schedule a delivery location and time that meets your needs.
