Now days I insist they put the lugs on loosely, and
I'll torque them myself. Some garages balk at that
idea, "your wheel will fall off".


Discount Tire where I got my last 2 sets of tires for the vehicles impressed
me. They have a large window where you can see the work being done. They
use impact wrenches to tighten the lug nuts, but for a final tighten they
use a torque wrench.

Here they use a compressor powered torque limited thing which looks like a handheld electric drill. And as for the window, why? I just hang around in the garage where they're working.
