Brakes at dealer

So I have changed brakes and rotors on Audi, BMW, Acura/Honda, everything... infiniti no problem! Got my car ready to write a DIY, it was going to cost $67 for rear brakes, $15/rotor to be resurfaced. BUT the bolt that hold the caliper on were WAY OVER TORQUED!!! So now I'm at the dealer and have to pay $270 to have them to resurface the rotors and put my brake bads on!!!!! SUCH A RIP! I made sure to have them retorque the front so I don't have this issue on the fronts!

Anyone else run into this?! Also, they had torqued my lug nuts to about 170 lbs!!!! who the hell does that!? Most people would not even been able to get the lug nuts off my rims!

I've always found the torque member bolts hard to remove off nissans. Should always be replaced when they get removed.

I was using a break bar and mallet and it would not move! I didn't want to strip that bolt. I had them retorque it all, so I will do the fronts soon and better not have that problem
