A customer called me out for skipping the final torque check on lug nuts

He came back a week after a brake job saying he heard a clicking sound, and when I checked, one lug was just finger tight. I now use my torque wrench on every single wheel, no exceptions, and mark them with chalk. How do you guys make sure you never miss a step on something so routine?

Sounds like a lot of fuss for a loose lug nut.

Oh man, my buddy's wheel actually came off on the highway once because of that. Cost him a fortune.
