Castle Coachworks Affiliates with In Car Safety Child Car Seat Specialist: Protecting What Matters Most
At Castle Coachworks, we believe that vehicle repair goes beyond aesthetics. Our priority is to restore your vehicle to its optimum pre-collision condition, ensuring it not only looks its best but that it will perform safely when it matters the most.
For this reason, we are proud to announce that we have teamed up with the In Car Safety Centre, an organisation dedicated to raising awareness about child car seat safety and the importance of replacing your infant’s car seat after a crash.
Why You Should Replace Your Child’s Car Seat After a Collision?
With decades of experience in the accident repair industry, we understand that even a low-speed collision can cause hidden damage, affecting not only your vehicle’s structure and performance but also its advanced electronic safety systems. Our commitment to “safe repairs” means we go far beyond surface restoration. Every vehicle is meticulously repaired and inspected to verify that its critical safety features and structural integrity are fully restored. After all, your vehicle needs to work just as reliably and protect you in the case of any future road incidents.
As part of our manufacturer-approved repair methodology, we adhere to strict standards that prioritise replacement over repair when safety or performance may be compromised. This helps guarantee that every vehicle leaving our bodyshop meets the highest possible standards of safety and quality.
The Hidden Safety Risks
It is of vital importance that parents recognise that the same safety principles should be applied to their child’s car seat following a road accident. If your vehicle has been involved in any form of collision, it is always better to replace it, regardless of speed or severity. Damage is not always visible, and the integrity of the seat could be affected, putting your child at risk in the future.
Did You Know You Can Claim a Replacement on Your Insurance?
The good news is that most insurance policies cover the cost of replacing your child’s car seat after an accident, even if there’s no visible damage to the seat itself.
In Car Safety, an organisation dedicated to raising awareness about child car seat safety can help guide you on how best to do this.
“In Car Safety specialises in post-accident child seat assessment and replacement advice. Working with Castle Coachworks means families won’t be left to guess whether their seats are still safe, they’ll have access to trusted, qualified support at exactly the right moment.”

Because at the heart of every repair is a family that deserves to travel safely, confidently, and without compromise.”
