Was there a reason for not following OEM specs?

that shop likes to cut corners and me taking an extra few mins to properly torque tires and other bolts to specs was too much for them. oh well their loss, not mine if they didnt want a mechanic doing things the correct way than of well. an education is in order for who? :dunno_white:

its sad when a guy does the job 'right' that he gets in trouble... this is a big prob with my reno job.  Too many jackasses who think they know what they're doing and cutting corners.  But I guess its job security for me  ;)

umm, do 2 things

post the shop's name, so no one ever goes there

and get word to the authorities. this could end up killing someone if something comes loose and causes an accident
