Ok my living situation has me away from tools. I could go to toyota dealer but it may be easier just to go to a NTB a discount or a firestone tire place. I am in Fort Worth. Would prefer someone who has a torque wrench and knows how to use it.
Best chain for tire rotations?

since it appears you're a veteran and in DFW, maybe check out this place? https://www.navymwrfortworth.com/programs/b24be834-e1e3-4da5-9c20-4717352ae5c9
It's 99% certain (or more) most local tire shops can handle no problem. It's that one 1% though... I've seen too many cars with damaged rocker panels and bent jack points to let anyone lift my car unless I have absolutely no other choice.
While I have a garage, we have one of those self-service garages close by where you can rent a lift, and it's awesome. If the above is available to you, it may be worth checking out Most times they'll have tools on site as well.

Walmart
Even though they can have 4-hour wait times, they always use a torque wrench, and their lifetime balance/rotations even include the flip/remount for directional tires

Since 04 I've used Discount Tire, been satisfied. They do use a torque wrench on lug nuts. Coincidentally had rotation and balance done on a vehicle this week. Made an appt just to assure a quick visit, < 30 mins. Checking, seems lots of DT stores in FW area. Rotations are FOC to all. If you want balance on non DT purchased tires, will be a charge. No noticeable vibration, just say all you need is rotation. I've done the latter on OE tires.
Whom ever you chose make sure they use a torque stick and/or stagger the lug nuts tightening sequence with a torque wrench. In my opinion more rotors are warped with the old air gun hammering the lugs more so than anything else. Sure they are really tight but that warps rotors, stretches lug studs, and wallows out wheels.

Would someone please tell me the difference between a "Torque Stick" and a "Torque Wrench". I'm confused by this term.
To OP, do you know what the correct torque for the lug nuts is for your car? There was a long thread on this subject not that long ago that might help you decide.

Discount Tire has been great for me.
