The Background

Built From the Shop Floor Up

Tony Fuller Sr. didn't start in an office. He started in the shops — working hands-on in collision repair across Indiana beginning in the late 1980s. Over nearly three decades he learned the industry from every angle: what a proper repair looks like, what a cut-corner looks like, and how the gap between the two costs vehicle owners money they never recover.

That experience is what makes CSC of Indiana different. When Tony reviews a repair estimate or produces a diminished value appraisal, he's reading it the way a technician does — not as an abstract number, but as a real document describing real work on a real vehicle. He knows what should be on that estimate and what's missing.

In 2018 he founded Collision Safety Consultants of Indiana to put that knowledge to work for consumers — independently, transparently, and at a flat fee that never depends on the outcome of your claim.
