I always torque my own wheel nuts/bolts in my own shop and I make sure that the same thing happens if I take it to another shop for new tires, work, etc. I am picky about the work I do building my own race cars and I am just as picky about work any shop does on my cars. No way of knowing what treatment a used car has received, of course, and the bolts may have come to me pre-abused, as it were. All I can do is ensure that they are properly treated during my ownership, and if I detect any stretch in threads when I buy a car, I replace the bolts/studs..
If I need to have any shop I am unfamiliar with do work like this, I retorque when I get the car home.
