Mine has to be the Johnson Rod.

Named after Dirk Johnson in 1945 when, due to the steel shortage of WWII, used hus cock as a template to forge a replacement part whose name will forever be in our minds and hearts.

What's your favorite?

Oh and I do so love car ignorant people. :p My dad had someone come into the shop once and ask for the air to be changed in all 4 tires.... they were serious. :D
 
We once told my sister that she need to check her blinker fluid and muffler bearings. She totally believed us :D
 
Then there's the turn signal fluid. Gotta change that every 2000 turns.

mineral or synthetic muffler grease?
 
I had my oil changed at one of the fast oil change places one time and the "attendant" tried to convince me that i needed a new fuel filter. The old one was rusting into the frame of my car.

I considered asking him to check the carburetor and clutch since he was so concerned with being thorough.

They don't need to be lubed if you buy chrome muffler bearings to start with.

In the military, we once sent a guy down to the beach to find 100 feet of shore line we had left there. :D He came back several times saying he couldn't find it, and each time we sent him back to look for it until somebody took pity on him.

A popular one in the Air Force is to send somebody to supply to get a large can of prop wash.
