BISMARCK, N.D. - It happens a lot this time of year. You go out to start your car in the morning and the battery is dead.

The staff at O'Reilly auto parts in Bismarck say sales have spiked for car batteries, fuel additives, and anything else people need to keep going in winter, which comes in handy for a lot of people.

"I came up here from Florida some years back. I never had those kinda issues, but here in Bismarck I've definitely had some issues like that, and thankfully I've had some help," said David Baxter, Bismarck resident.

O'Reiley says it's selling 10 batteries on a slow day, maybe 20-30 batteries a day on colder days.

This guide will walk you through the process of connecting to your ECU on a bench using different methods like OBD, Bootmode Tricore, JTag, and BDM.

      GPC Report Record Sales, Double-Digit Earnings Growth
      By Counterman
      Genuine Parts Co. (GPC) reported second-quarter sales of $5.9 billion, up 5.6% compared to second-quarter 2022.
      GPC reported a 4.9% increase in comparable sales. A 1.8% benefit from acquisitions contributed to the quarterly results, the company noted.
      Net income jumped 10% to $344 million. On a per-share diluted basis, net income was $2.44, an increase of nearly 11% compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.20 last year.
      “We are pleased to report another solid quarter, which includes record sales and double-digit adjusted earnings growth,” said Paul Donahue, chairman and CEO. “Our second-quarter performance, once again, highlights the value and benefit of our global Automotive and Industrial business mix and geographic diversity, which we believe are competitive advantages that differentiate GPC in the marketplace.”
      Sales for the Automotive Parts Group, which includes NAPA Auto Parts, increased 5.4% to $3.7 billion. The results include a 4.3% increase in comparable sales and a 2.6% benefit from acquisitions, according to the company.
      “Global Automotive sales continue to benefit from our global diversification, as our businesses outside the U.S. posted mid-single-digit to double-digit growth in local currency in the second quarter,” said Will Stengel, president and chief operating officer.
      “Our Industrial sales growth was broad based, with all product categories and major industries served growing from the prior year, allowing the Industrial team to post its 12th consecutive quarter of margin expansion. The global GPC team delivered a solid second quarter and our teams remain focused on the consistent execution of our strategic initiatives. We believe our investments in our people, customer solutions, technology, supply chain and emerging technology will continue to enhance our capabilities and leadership positions.”

      O’Reilly Reports 11% Increase in Q2 Sales
      By Counterman
      O’Reilly Automotive reported record revenue and earnings for its second quarter, which ended June 30.
      Second-quarter sales were $4.07 billion, up 11% from second-quarter 2022. Gross profit increased 11% to nearly $2.1 billion.
      Diluted earnings per common share increased 16% to $10.22 on 61 million shares, versus $8.78 on 66 million shares for second-quarter 2022.
      Comparable-store sales jumped 9% year-over-year.
      “Team O’Reilly’s commitment to providing consistently excellent customer service drove robust double-digit professional and solid DIY comparable-store sales growth in the quarter,” O’Reilly CEO Greg Johnson said in a news release. “I want to congratulate our over 88,000 dedicated team members on their incredible performance in the second quarter and express my sincere appreciation for their relentless focus on delivering industry-leading service to our customers each and every day.”
      Sales for the first six months of 2023 increased 12% to $7.78 billion compared to the first six months of 2022.
      “The strong top-line performance we delivered through the first half of the year exceeded our expectations, and we remain pleased with our performance thus far in July,” Johnson said. “We believe the core underlying demand drivers of our industry remain solid, and more importantly, we remain confident in our team’s ability to consistently execute our proven dual market strategy and expand our market share.”
      The year-to-date results “and continued robust sales trends” prompted O’Reilly to boost its full-year comparable-store sales guidance from a range of 4% to 6% to a range of 5% to 7%.
      New DC in Mexico
      So far in 2023, O’Reilly has opened 100 net new stores across 34 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Mexico and is on pace to meet the company’s goal of opening 180 to 190 net new store openings this year, according to Johnson.
      In July, O’Reilly opened its first distribution center in Mexico.
      “This new, 370,000-square-foot facility strengthens our existing store network with enhanced inventory availability, empowering higher service levels and establishing the critical foundation for long-term store growth in Mexico,” Johnson said.
