Garage
Was backing into a driveway when the passenger opened the door once. Hit the curb and jacked the door a bit (different old american car).
I took it to a local autobody shop. They had some tooling to fix hinges with this sort of problem.
Different sized high strength seel rollers on the end of a bent wire. The stick it in and use the door and the jam to bend the hinge back the way it's supposed to go.
Not sure about the alloys used in the Toybu hinges.

The dealers won't have the deep knowledge about how to fix jacked up body work. They're fine for swapping stock parts though.
Your best bet is to find an established bodyshop and get an estimate to see what your options are.
