"UAW Strike Causes Parts Shortage for GM and Stellantis Dealers and Customers"

TL;DR Summary
The UAW strike in the US auto industry has expanded to target dealers who sell and service GM and Stellantis vehicles, causing a shortage of parts. Just-in-time shipments have made the parts business vulnerable, and dealers are struggling to source components. This will lead to difficulties in repairing vehicles, impacting customers and reducing dealers' profits. The strike is expected to affect repair services and parts distribution centers, with dealers urging a quick resolution to the strike. Automakers have built up vehicle inventory, but problems with repairs are expected to arise soon.
