Tariff-related disruptions have led automakers such as Volkswagen, Audi, and potentially Toyota to consider limiting or halting their U.S. vehicle exports. This situation is alarming for dealerships, as it threatens their inventory levels and revenue streams.

Anticipated shortages of vehicles and service components may further compromise dealer margins and sales, creating a scenario reminiscent of supply chain bottlenecks experienced during the pandemic.
