The United Auto Workers strike brings the threat of service and maintenance disruptions just as wait times for service at dealerships were already getting long.
The United Auto Workers strike has brought the threat of service and maintenance disruptions, just as wait times at the dealerships were already getting long.
And for many, keeping a car in good shape by following maintenance schedules and promptly fixing problems became more important as prices for used and new vehicles rose. In moving the fight to dealerships and to customers, the UAW preserves its strike fund and holds onto its “nuclear option” of hitting assembly plants making full-size pickup trucks and SUVs, a move that was widely considered to be next for the union, Fiorani said.
Stellantis, maker of Chrysler vans, Dodge SUVs and Jeeps, was working with more inventory than GM and Ford, Edmunds.com’s Caldwell said. If the strike continues, consumers are first likely to see an end to the few incentives carmakers had just started to offer again, she said. Analysts at Barclays said in a note Tuesday that they don’t expect the strike to have “any immediate effect” on car prices at least through October.
