I had to change a punctured tyre.

Place the jack at the soft spot of the car, without knowing that should not be the spot to place the jack. Thus, the weight of the car broke through that area which I placed the jack. It resulted in a bump in the flooring of the passenger side.

What are the implications for that damage and not repairing it?

I think the water will enter when it rains and that will be the first spot to rust.

where can I send it to repair it? Is it possible to repair at all?

need some advise.

Thanks a lot...

ps: the tyre was finally changed at the expense of that hole that I've created undercarriage... :)

well...if you want a mor specific answer you'll need to post a pic from above and below to understand the damage and how to fix it.

odds are a panel beater will be able to flatten it out/ weld it up. as long as you can handle their hidden giggles

lol I had a guy at the tyre shop nearly do that @_@ though it can be hard to find a decent place to jack in the absence of specific jacking points (I usually either do where the seams of the chassis rails overlap at the front or at the diff) Have seen that kinda damage done and its repairable.
