I wanted to rotate my tires when I noticed that one of the reinforced pinch welds is bent. Looks like damage done by jack. Any idea how bad it is? Any actions I should take to get it fixed? Thanks in advance!
Sorry about rather low quality picture, but it's quite tricky to get it on camera without getting under the car.

Not bad, secure it with a proper underbody spray. Not bitumen based, a polyurethane based one, like the OEM stuff.

Material is very thin and weak from stock.

Never jack the Hyundai on one side only. Always parallel from both sides, so it is less stress for the material.

So no real need to get it bend back into place? I was sort of wondering what type of shop would even do that kind of work and whether it wouldn't bend again easily.
 
Nearly most shops, there are a lot of cars which need real serious accuracy when lifting or jacking the car. Otherwise jacking spots or side skirts or both got damaged.
