i second that. if i were you, id bring a video camera to cath them dummies using an impact gun to r/r lugs. make the shop pay for all the repairs and the rental car. 
to many of my dummy friends dont torque their lugs, i watch them loose wheels and studs. im really conservative myself. i usually torque to only 60 lbs and i check em regularly. im no engineer, 83 lbs of tq on some softie studs makes me nervous. 
btw when i changed out a flat on my front left tire, i noticed that one of my studs was cross threaded from the factory, that sucked.
