After an accident, insurance companies move fast — and not in your favor. With over 35 years of collision repair experience, we write the independent appraisals that get you the settlement you're actually owed.
Every service is delivered at a flat fee. We are never compensated based on the outcome of your claim — just honest, defensible appraisals.
Once a vehicle has been in an accident, its market value drops — even after perfect repairs. We calculate your vehicle's true DV using current market data, not insurer formulas designed to minimize your payout.

Learn more →Don't just take the shop's word for it. We conduct a comprehensive inspection verifying structural integrity, paint quality, alignment, and safety systems before you accept the vehicle back.
Learn more →Need to know what your vehicle is actually worth right now? We pull from Black Book, JD Power, and live market comps to produce a defensible actual cash value appraisal for any purpose.
Learn more →If your insurer and repair shop are at odds — or if hidden damage was missed in the original estimate — we document the discrepancy and provide a formal written opinion to support your position.
Learn more →Confused about your rights, the appraisal clause, or whether your insurer's offer is fair? A one-on-one consultation with a seasoned expert can change the entire trajectory of your claim.

No insurance carrier relationships. No referral arrangements. Our income never depends on what your car is worth.
We know what correct repairs look like — and what cutting corners looks like. That expertise translates directly into stronger reports.
Every appraisal is written to withstand scrutiny — by adjusters, arbitrators, and if necessary, in court.
You pay one transparent fee upfront. We have zero financial incentive to inflate or deflate our findings.
The insurance company's appraiser works for the insurance company. If you want an honest number, you need your own expert.
Tony Fuller Sr. began in the collision repair industry in the late 1980s, working hands-on in shops across Indiana before transitioning into appraisal and advocacy. That background means he reads an estimate the way a technician does — and he knows when something doesn't add up.
After nearly three decades in repair, Tony founded CSC of Indiana in 2018 with a single mission: make the collision claim process fair and honest for vehicle owners who don't have the expertise to fight back on their own.
CSC of Indiana is affiliated with CollisionSafetyConsultants.com, a national network of independently-operated consultants applying consistent standards across the country.
At Collision Safety Consultants of Indiana, we operate with one unwavering principle: the consumer deserves accurate information and an honest advocate in one of the most stressful processes they'll face as a vehicle owner.
Insurance companies have teams of adjusters, software, and processes designed to minimize claim payouts. We provide the independent counterweight — using the same industry tools and data to arrive at a number that reflects reality.
