Those are bad stories. Gets back to throwing the tech $$ up front, which buys you a little freedom to stand there and ask dumb questions like “what torque setting are you using?”. Any shop worth $0.12 should be using the colored torque sticks on the end of the impact guns – they work great. And no impact gun has a torque setting, if they tell you that, ask to see a real torque wrench. It is your money & your car.

BTW, new aluminum wheels should be re-torqued every 100 miles because aluminum is soft and takes a set. 2 times minimum, 5 if you are super-anal.
