Overtightening lug nuts
Other than it being impossible to remove them, unless you have a breaker bar or air tools...what other problems can happen if your lug nuts are tightened up too much from a mechanic?
almost all hyundais use 80 ft lbs of torque for each lugnut,
if they cross thread em or stretch them..make the service manager replace em.
i always put a note on my work invoices if i had tough time unbolting the lugs on customer cars

Every knuckle dragging tyre fitter I've ever had to deal with rattles up my lug nuts to ungodly levels. I literally have to stand on my four foot breaker bar just to crack em.
