B pillar replacement

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. So sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. So, about that B pillar sectioning on your Outback— Manufacturers generally prefer complete replacement rather than sectioning for structural repairs like this. The B pillar is a crucial part of your car's safety structure, especially in side impacts, so they're pretty particular about how it's repaired. That said, if the sectioning was done by a skilled technician following proper procedures and guidelines, it might still be solid. However, you might want to double-check with the shop or even Subaru themselves to be sure everything's up to spec. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
