whenever i run into a situation like this, i mention something about my husband sent me to do this because he's busy..... and i give him an occupation of the person trying to sell me more than i need. Eg. My's husband's a mechanic and he told me to just get a quick oil change because he's real busy right now. I'll make sure and mention the problems to him when i get back home.

or if i go to get an estimate on painting the stang..... I'll say my husband's a painter and toooo busy to paint my car......

or my husband's a plumber, but he's out of town and told me to phone you to check the pipes

it doesn't work all the time, but it normally stops them from trying to SELL unneeded repairs etc.... on me. BUT it USUALLY does bring up questions about the hubby's job, lol, so just wing it, us females are normally pretty good about bs'ing and sounding like we know what we're talking about.
