Garagebo effect
the perception that the performance of a vehicle has improved as the result of maintenance work at a garage that likely made no impact on the vehicle’s actual functioning.
most commonly experienced by people who have just paid for a questionable procedure a mechanic insisted was important and really want to believe that: a) the procedure was actually done; and b) it significantly helped the vehicle’s performance.
jon: dude, that $1000 for a changing out my cabin filter and flushing my transmission was so worth it! my hyundai has never been this powerful…i could totally take a bmw off the line right now!!
cameron: really? come on man, this is a cl-ssic case of the garagebo effect! they probably waved a wrench over your cr-ppy car and then gave it back to you and now you think you are vin diesel in fast five!
