But back to the question about shops properly torquing. I always check that the lugs are torqued to spec when I get home, even if torque was applied during BMW service.

A nice torque wrench is a worthwhile investment (check the calibration).

Do you find that they are sometimes under or over torqued? I assume you loosen it, or do you leave it tight if it is over the recommended torque amount?
Do you agree that the harborfreight one may be ok, or would you get a better one?
