Wheel stud/cross thread lugs a common problem?
2001 Civic, this is the third time I've had to get someone to replace a wheel stud. Second and third time the lugs were cross threaded on the stud (thank you Honda dealer for doing that). Is this a common problem with 7th gen civics?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Someone probably used the air gun to put it on without first putting it on by hand for a few turns.
It would be difficult to hand cross thread a lug, IMO.
