WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN.
To say the least, the worldwide shortage of semiconductors is frustrating. Kia can’t build to keep up
with
demand. Which means Classic Kia and every other dealer have less to offer.
Customers need or want new vehicles and can’t find them.
Customers need or want new vehicles and can’t find them.
Classic Kia can help.
We’re getting more production
than our share, because we’re
managing better. While you won’t find as many cars on our lot, you will find every model represented.
We’re tapped into distribution.
We keep close tabs on what’s about to come our way. So if you don’t see a particular model or color on our website, it’s likely on its way to us.
Build-A-Kia Unlike most dealers, we’re sharing Kia's production schedule with our customers. If the Kia you’re looking for has a “build” date, we can help you build it your way!
Whether you need a car, want a car, or have to replace a leased vehicle, at Classic Kia you have options.
CARS ARE
CHIP-HEAVY
Every passenger vehicle needs upward of 200 chips. Every. Vehicle. Just a few of which are shown in this diagram. So, the auto industry alone accounts for roughly 16 billion of the 700+ billion computer chips made each year.
DOMINOS ANYONE?
Blame it on the pandemic. Sort of. That’s what
started it. Manufacturing facilities closed down.
The next domino to fall was an epic surge
in demand – computers, gaming systems,
appliances. We were all shut in at home looking
for things to do. Short supply became a major
backlog. Companies who supply the materials
to chip makers were slower to come back online
than the chip makers. And now, as if the backlog
wasn’t enough, chips control warehousing and
distribution, too. So getting chips manufactured
is only half the battle.
Light at the end of the tunnel. Supply is coming back! Demand is evening out.

WHY WE LOVE BEING A KIA DEALER
Kia is a great company. With production down, Kia still maintains 100% employment.Employees are paid to do volunteer/charity work, attend classes and seminars, and even stay healthy with fitness training at all Kia plants. It’s a people-first mentality at Kia. Just like ours at Classic Kia.
