Know I know and sort of trust, the guy I take our road cars to for tyres etc. However, when he has fitted the wheels, I remove them and refit with the aid of my trusty old Britool torque wrench. Which I re-calibrate every so often using a very accurate spring balance!

I do the same.
I have a theory/ observation that this over torqueing of the bolts also often leads to warped brake discs.
Anyone?
