I don`t, simply for the reason that I don`t have a way of knowing what the torque specs are for all the vehicles and wheels out there.
Now, if a client wants to take the wheels off before I get there, and put them back on themselves, that`s an entirely different situation.

There are wheel & tire trade books with torque specs/PCD/offsets/stock overall tire & wheel diameter for all passenger vehicles and trucks. Also the vehicles manuel will have this information(except Ferrari & Maserati)plus tirerack has a way to calculate torque based upon lug diameter ie:12x 2.5 for example which will give minimum thread engagement etc..
There is a local tire shop that recommends all customers with aluminum rims return 24 hours later to have the rims re-torqued. Ever hear of that? Now if they would just put the weights on the inside without begging...

Corvette Road trips - Every time. That`s about 6 trips per year. (500-1000 miles per trip)
Daily Drivers - Every Spring when I rotate the tires.
For Customers - Only if they ask me to.

You`ve been given one life.
Think about it.
I don`t do it on every car but quite a few details. If it will make that much of a difference (probably more so to me) I`ll take them off and clean the inside
