The shop should really be thankful for not quoting their name… By the way as you said, no one was injured.
120nm for twelve mil thread (bolt)
talks like its easy to know torque for car, does exist somewhere to find these figueres
um actually yeah. it usually is in the car’s manual
Important torque figures like the wheel nuts are normally written in the car manual. If not you can get a complete torque sheet from the manufacturer. Or you can look in an online forum for your car/manufacturer if someone there already has the torque.
Boosted Boris without an Accent *gasp
If there is anything to take any from this, it is that there are poorly trained monkeys working at tyre shops (or mechanic shops) all across the world. Fortunately the difference between tight enough to hold the wheel on without undoing and so tight the fasteners break is quite a bit, which is probably why the shop says they always do it that way and hasnt had a failure, probably not had a high performance car on a track before.
Lol
Can someone forward this on to old Eddie boy
I always use a torque wrench and never had comebacks. But did have a lot of non specialized shops screw ups come over here with over torqued lug nuts, snapped studs, and even cross threaded studs. Sad to see some shops have no passion.
