Got tired of lube techs spilling oil on the engine and using the cheapest possible oil filter, not to mention the time they left the air filter box open after checking the filter.

I replaced the shocks and struts on my 2014 Explorer Limited but now need to get rid of the old ones. If you google around, many pages mention auto parts stores will take them. Lies! I called 6 different stores(Autozone, NAPA, O'Reilly, etc.). Even called a specialty wheel and tire place that...
