The last mechanic I went to torqued these to hell...what are the chances he also tightened my spark plugs this much?

Never again...my other mechanic never overtorqued things this much.

bringing them the wheel detached from my car

I do that whenever I can. It's a bit more work, but saves the irritation (although anger is probably closer). for things can get damaged with over tightening. But some jobs they take off one or more wheels and if it's not the shop in my town, I go over the wheel bolts.
