The tools in the kit will likely be inadequate to remove the wheel bolts if they have been overtightened, which they invariably are when a shop with impact tools works on your car.
Whenever I have tires removed at a shop, I always check the bolts, they are usually way over spec. They were so tight once I couldn't break them with a three foot breaker bar and had to take it back to the shop to have them loosen them with the impact wrench and then re-tighten with my torque wrench, and the mechanic still gave me the stink eye.
