Surprised at the quick answers without any analysis.

Look at the studs, and see if there is corrosion or discoloring, or indication that there was fatigue, etc. Is there damage on the wheel where the nut contacts the wheel?

New motor typically means (multiple) hundreds of thousands of miles, and/or lack of maintenance. Could have been loose lugs at any point in the car's life.

You may find other studs are fatigued, a wheel falls off leaving your shop, and they blame you?
