I'm going to have to disagree. Every shop and dealership that I've been to, to have them work on a car of mine, they've always checked the lugs with a torque wrench. Of course they aren't going to do this if they aren't doing any kind of maintenace that requires removing the tires.

To add to this, Tire Discounter's near me also required me to come back in so they can re-check my lugs after 25 and 100 miles when I had new rims/tires installed on my old car.
