I've had a few situations where a lug wouldn't come off. Tried heating it, tighten then loosen, even swearing at it. Had to use a grinder to cut it to a 6 point and use a (roughly) matching socket over it. took the whore right off.

And $115 an hour is ludacris! The shop I deal with for everything I don't have to equipment to fix myself is $60CAD. Find a new shop man.

Edit: Last time I had a shop put tires on was on my '03 Grand AM (Pre-Porsche POS). The "tech" at Canadian tire (was getting a safety done) told me he had trouble getting the nuts off so he replaced all the studs on one wheel. He ended up paying for it cause I raised *****. But after I got home I found out the incompentant ***** put Antiseize compond on all my wheel studs. Wow...
