My sister brought her car in to get some winter tires installed that I ordered for her, and later on I get a call saying the wheel lock key "blew up" because it was over tightened. I'm the one who last installed the wheels, and I know I used a torque wrench to 85 ft lbs...so I don't buy their excuse.

And to make matters worse, they charged me $76 for his time to remove the 4 lock nuts manually.
Does this sound like something that could really happen? I feel like it was a new tech that doesn't know how to use wheel locks that fucked it up, and I would rather not pay $75 for something that's their fault.
Thoughts?
