1. Such repairs are usually performed using welding equipment and must be carried out in a car service workshop.
2. In case of extensive damage, first of all, you should check whether there has been any displacement or deformation of the body panels, which could affect the controllability of the car or lead to accelerated wear of any of its working components (for example, tires).
