Ha I had the same problem at firestone getting tires put on my car. I even told them specifically, I only torque my wheels to 70, that’s it, do no more. I couldn’t even get the lugs off with an impact, or breaker bar, for atleast 20 minutes. Anyways, not all chains are like that, we use torque sticks then a torque wrench on every car, it’s required, they fire people for not doing it haha…we \<3 return customers. ---
