Even Dealers who get paid a Premium to do the right job will give yu a hard time when yu ask them to torque everthing.
And most will yes yu and just ignore your request. I have worked with Techs like this.

Beware a tech who does not own a Torque wrench! Many don't! If that's any clue.

LifeTech you got me to thinking, of my 52 yrs. on this earth I can't remember a mechanic using a torque wrench ever on any of my cars.
