Hey I've known people that would have fallen for that, but they would have argued the prices.
I always remember one friend saying to me "my car engine is a lot noisier and I've got a red light coming on the dashboard with a 'watering can' on it" My responce was "when did you last check your oil" they said "oil?", found the dip stick bone dry! I was absolutely amazed the car didn't blow up on them.
Another friend warped an engine on the motorway because they saw the temperature guage shoot to the top and thought "if I drive faster more air will go under the bonnet and cool the engine down".
In all fairness both of these friends were actually very bright but they knew nothing about cars. They used to pay garages without question on what repairs needed doing. The friend with the oil probelm went straight back to the garage where is was last serviced and gave them the b*ll***ing of their lives.

It's a little bit off topic but try this one. Seems to be the same woman.

Not a true story, but amusing none the less in this context
Taken from the Viz Sexist Book of Records..
The largest bill for fictitious work carried out on a woman's car by garage mechanics was one of £6322.88 charged by Joskin Bros. Motors Ltd of Stevenage. Calling in for a routine service on her one year old Peugeot 305, Mrs. June Spears agreed to pay for, amongst other things, new trumpets (£752), cracked Gangle pin (£1785), realignment of main glib shaft (£2268), new grommets (£112), set of hexagonal Tag nuts and dangleberry adapter (£35) and new piss-take valves (£120). No work was actually carried out on the car during the six weeks it spent at the garage but 4000 miles was put on the clock and she later received a speeding summons from Italian police.
