Abstract Q. I took my car to the Firestone store at Blue Ridge Mall in Kansas City to repair a flat. When the mechanic went to remount the wheel, I asked him to torque the lug nuts to manufacturer's specifications. He was very indignant that I would make such a request, but did as I asked. When I went to pay the bill I suggested to the store manager that it should be their policy to torque all lug nuts to specifications. He thought such a suggestion was preposterous and even snickered at the idea.
