The tire shop I use (Tire Warehouse) ALWAYS uses a torque wrench and makes
you sign a form stating you were told to check the lugnuts or bring it back
for free retightnining after 24 hours....

Sam's Club torques the lugs here too as does the local tire store.
That may just be because I have alloy wheels on my car and truck. The
old steel wheels were very forgiving..
