So the other day i was on the side of the road, i had a flat, and i tried jacking my car with the stock jack and two pieces of wood and then part of my floor cracked. is this a major concern i should mention to the dealer?

why would you need wood? Did you use the proper jack mounting points?

I don't see a crack.....did bend the floor up? Shouldn't be an issue

To be honest no. I was in the side of the road on some grass. I didn't really have the option to jack it up properly.

You do know that it's ok to limp the car on a flat tire to get to a place where it's safe and you can jack it up properly, right?

Should Not be an issue, just get some windshield adhesive and put it in the seems

Did you not place the jack on the pinch welds?

As long as you don't mind destroying the tire in the process. You'll get a nice little heat ring around the entire circumference.

Fine if you're about to buy new tires, shitty if they're halfway gone and 1 new tire bugs the hell out of you.
