I don't doubt it and that's one reason why I don't let garages repair my cars.

I recall reading many threads where members ask for advice about brake servicing and the point is always driven home that this part of the car is of the utmost importance. When a torque figure is specified for something which is critical in terms of safety, it should be adhered to whenever possible, but extending this principle to other parts enhances reliability and a feeling of confidence.
