The last mechanic I went to torqued these to hell…what are the chances he also tightened my spark plugs this much?
Never again…my other mechanic never overtorqued things this much.

I had a wheel rebalanced at a tire shop chain. I saw the kid who wasn’t trained to know better use an impact gun to put the wheel back on. Fast forward to fall I come to change to my winter tires and three of the five wheel nuts won’t go back on for that corner.
Fortunately the local dealership had some in stock but next time I need something done in a shop like that I’m bringing them the wheel detached from my car.
Costco only uses torque wrenches, and you have to come back after a day to get torque checked again.
I do that whenever I can. It’s a bit more work, but saves the irritation (although anger is probably closer). for things can get damaged with over tightening. But some jobs they take off one or more wheels and if it’s not the shop in my town, I go over the wheel bolts.
