good as new

Back to original

Good as new describes something restored to its original condition, or nearly so.

The phrase typically applies to repaired or refurbished items: The mechanic fixed the transmission and now it runs good as new.

It can also describe recovery from illness or injury: A few weeks of rest and you'll be good as new.
