I Try not to go over 73-75 but tire shops do it at 80 and won't listen to what you have to say. One of them said that's what their books show and legally they have to torque it to 80. Not a problem just 1 over 79.
147 is not a good idea!
A shop doing them at 80, not bad. I would have thought they'd send em' home at 100. LOL 100 would have been a gift the night I was helping my nephew.
I know what you mean! I will be very happy if they torque it @80 or at the highest torque specified. I've got lots of stories ... I've had cases were both Les Schwab and Discount Tire over torqued to 100 and even more. the car they did before me was a truck @100 or @120 ft.lb I saw the guy using the same wrench and after he torqued one tire, I asked him what torque, and he said oh yeah this should be 80 and not 100 ... Another time, I had 2 broken lug nuts after brake inspection at Les Schawb and they said it's not their fault and they were just bad. I went back to complain to the manager and he said maybe kids in the neighborhood did it! I am NOT kidding you! lol
after that, I will never go back to Les Schwab again! Maybe it is our local store because I've had good luck with them in the past. I think they have changed and going down hill as far as customer service. They get you on brake job as well. they change pads, calippers, rotor and everything else even If the car is only 3-4 years old and want over $1300 ... It happened to a co-worker as well. I told her to go to another brake shop only 2 blocks away and it cost her under $300.
