In this two-part series, we’re looking at why batteries fail, especially during extreme weather. We know extreme temperatures can be tough on automotive batteries. But there are other factors that can cause batteries to fail any time of year.

Oil filters play a vital role in the operation of a vehicle. Most counter professionals cringe when they hear a customer say, “Just give me the cheapest one.” Let’s talk about why that’s an especially risky request when a customer is looking for a replacement oil filter.

It’s been said that making oil is like baking a cake. Everyone uses the basic ingredients like water and flour, but the spices and frosting give it a distinct taste. With oil, it’s a similar story. Counterman Magazine: http://www.counterman.com

Looks like something from a seat assembly. Might just be something accidentally left from manufacturing. Bring it to the dealer.

Looks like Amazon has raised their oil prices...$24.99 for the 6 packs

Hard to say, but looks like wiring for light or sensors. Snap a picture of the connectors, that looks like plastic that broke off. Did the malibu have fog lights? Take a look at some of the parts diagrams at www.gmpartsstore.com 

That's a Chinese manufacturer and I think what you are probably looking for is a shift cable. Look around for Chana parts websites.

Isn't that a bushing for aftermarket alignment adjustment? Where did you pull that from? Was it the leafspring mount?

Doesn't look like anything specifically off of a light duty car or truck. Might be some truck part or something off of a lift gate possibly?

That's a CV boot for most likely a front wheel drive vehicle. 😁

Looks like it's a discontinued part.

Do these wheel aligner clamps replace or work with certain brands of wheel alignment machines as replacements? Based on your facebook page and the quantities you sell vs discount, you should be contacting wheel alignment machine manufacturers to buy in those quantities. 😉

Tire rack has been in business a long time. You can buy tires from them and have them shipped to a certified repair shop. https://www.tirerack.com/content/tirerack/desktop/en/deliver_installation.html

That's an exhaust bracket that looks like it rusted off. It's either part of the body/frame or your actual exhaust. You'll have to take a look and see where it rusted off. Is your exhaust pipe hanging low or rattling?

May 17, 2018—Hedges & Co., a digital marketing agency serving the automotive aftermarket, has published its annual automotive parts & accessories forecast for online retailing. The new forecast shows online auto parts sales in 2018 will be more than $10 billion.

The agency predicts the automotive aftermarket will continue its dramatic shift to digital as online retail sales of auto parts and accessories in 2018 will exceed $10 billion for the first time, posting a 16.3 percent increase over 2017, with more than $5 billion of that occurring on mobile phones. Hedges & Co. forecasts online sales of auto parts to reach nearly $16 billion in 2021.

Hedges & Co. also forecasts nearly $138 billion in retail sales in 2018 through all sales channels—including traditional retail channels—will be influenced by the Internet, due to online activity by consumers and service professionals.

This influence comes from consumers doing online research before buying a part, reading information and checking fitment on a manufacturer’s website, being exposed to online advertising, reading product or reseller reviews, going to automotive forums, or using search engines.

The four most popular methods of online research used by consumers before buying are using search engines like Google or Bing (74 percent of all consumers), visiting online auto parts retailer websites (73 percent), visiting manufacturer websites (57 percent) and visiting automotive forums (47 percent).

Online activity will influence nearly $152 billion in parts and accessory sales through all retail channels—chain retail stores, automobile dealers, big box retailers, local independent brick & mortar retailers, jobbers, as well as online sales—by 2021. Online sales include online retailers, as well as the growing trend of manufacturers selling direct to consumers (DTC).
