Shitty deal. Shop screwed up big time and tow truck driver is negligent for not dollying the car.

I can't believe the wheels would fall off with 2 lug nuts. They obviously weren't torqued properly. Although it sounds unsafe, the fact is lug nuts/studs are far stronger than people think and 2 is plenty to keep a wheel on a car.

The responsibility should be 50:50. Sucks the shop are your friends. You "could" sue the tow truck driver for 50% and "claim" the shop already owed up and paid their 50% share.
