If you draw a conclusion based on unsound premises (e.g. that ginger haired owned garages do the best job) then your conclusion is unsound not invalid. I think, however, you are suggesting something else - that the person prefers to use ginger-haired owned garages (reason unspecified but could be prejudice) and wants others to believe the choice was based on competency and not prejudice. I think this is a disingenuous use of post hoc rationalization. If the person continued to exclusively use ginger-haired owned garages because they now believed they had reason to conclude that all g-h owned garages will do a good job then they might be using either the fallacy of composition or hasty generalisation. |

Perhaps post hoc rationalization . In this context, not really a fallacy but more of a biased way of thinking OR a deliberate lie. |

I'm not sure what the fallacy name would be, but it it fallacious to assume that a non-ginger person would not be as good as a ginger one. |
