Goat Dents? No Problem! How I Restored a Mercedes Benz After a Goat’s Wild Adventure
In my two decades of repairing all kinds of car damage, nothing compares to the unique challenge of what I now fondly refer to as “goat dents.” It’s not every day you hear about a goat jumping onto a Mercedes Benz, leaving a trail of hoof-shaped dents in its wake. But that’s exactly what happened when I was called in to repair a luxurious E-Class at Mercedes Benz of Pleasanton. This unforgettable encounter showcases how even the most unusual dents—yes, goat dents—can be expertly repaired!
Goat Dents and More: Memorable Stories from 20 Years of Dent Repair at Mercedes Benz of Pleasanton
It’s fun to look back at my twenty years repairing dents for people. It never fails just when I think I’ve seen it all, someone has a new story about how they received the dent in their car. The one that still cracks me up is a particular job I did for Mercedes Benz Of Pleasanton.
Occasionally, a customer will go to the dealer for service on their car, and I will remove the dents while it’s being serviced. People like the convenience of having everything done at once.
Goat Dents Explained: The Unbelievable Story Behind a Mercedes Benz Hood, Roof, and Trunk Damage
Anyway, I got a call from a service advisor at the dealer, and he said he had a weird one for me to look at. When I arrived we walked out to the car in question. There were numerous dents on the hood, roof, and trunk of a beautiful E-class Mercedes Benz. After I took a good look at the damage, I determined that all the dents would come out fine. I just couldn’t understand what had caused these dents, because they didn’t look like your common round golf ball dent or the pop-fly baseball dent.
The service advisor saw my confusion and explained what had caused these mysterious car dents and dings.
The customer was a pet lover, and one of her pets was a goat. She said the goat got really excited one day when she came home, and the goat hopped up onto the hood, then made his way to the roof, and used the trunk to dismount from her car.
After several hours of undoing the “dance of the goat,” her car looked like nothing ever happened–showroom new.
So like I said, just as soon as I think I’ve seen, or heard it all…surprise!
