This sadly brought back memories. Had a similar experience with my old 88 240 prolly 15 years ago. Shop had, in my opinion, crossed the threads on one stud and just tightened the crap out of it with air gun. I go to remove front tire and discover. Stud snaps off. As I recall not difficult to replace. I recall using a punch/drift and BF hammer to whack it out from outside to inside. And same punch to "convince" the new one to enter from inside and seat well. I recall being scared shitless when it snapped. And pleasantly surprised at $2.50 for the stud and relatively painless re-installation. And yes it makes me view the $17.99 for oil change and "free tire rotation" a bit more skeptically...
