Automotive Traditions Crap

Ok here's the situation, went into this place in mcdonough, used to be Max Performance until they were takin over by these guys, and. Had about 456 leaks in engine bay, more like 4 or 5. Still didn't want to do it my self so what do I do, I take it to these guys. Charges me 400 for a new passenger axle, replace all seals on the trans side the crank side and the oil pan, rear main and all. Boom no more leaks. I got it back and now I got blow by, that's fine because I was having a little before I went and needed to fix anyways. So went to take everything off. Went to take the wheels off and the wheels were to tightly torqued down it took me and another person to get the lugs off. Scrached the inside of the lug hole and pissed me off. So I told the guy and now he says if I would have wanted a specific torque spec I should have told him. Please someone tell me that your not supossed to torque a aluminum blue powder coated wheel down with and impact. He is now saying he used a torque lol stick is what he said. But what the crap, I just got these wheels about 2 months ago and someone already messes them up. And now I have to pay to get em re powdercoated, tell me that isn't crap.

No he didn't use a torque wrench, those things were so tight on there he used a impact and its not ****ty powder coat it was so tight when we went to pull the lugs off the socket rubbed on the edges and pulled the coating off.
