Alberto Delgado2026-03-08Got us almost $4k more from what the insurance carrier was offering, try to get someone to beat that! Tim got it done! Recommended 100%
Joe Salinas2026-03-05I had a great experience working with Tim Pheifle from Collision Safety Consultants. Tim is a knowledgeable and dedicated consumer advocate who genuinely looks out for people dealing with difficult situations with their auto insurance companies. When I was facing issues and felt like my insurance company wasn’t treating me fairly, Tim took the time to explain my options and gave me clear, practical advice on how to handle the situation. His guidance helped me better understand my rights and how to advocate for myself throughout the process. Tim was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced in dealing with insurance-related problems. It was reassuring to have someone in my corner who understands how the system works and is willing to help consumers navigate it. If you’re dealing with insurance issues after an accident and feel like you’re not getting fair treatment, I would definitely recommend reaching out to Tim Pheifle at Collision Safety Consultants.
Tonya Moore2026-03-02I would give them 10 stars if I could. I cannot recommend Tim Pfeifle, at Collision Safety Consultants, highly enough. After my car was totaled, State Farm significantly undervalued my vehicle, and I spent months trying to negotiate a fair settlement with no success. I ultimately decided to exercise my rights and hire an independent appraiser — that’s when I found Tim. Working with Tim was the best decision I made during the entire process. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly understands both vehicle valuation and the insurance appraisal process inside and out. Within less than two weeks, he secured nearly $4,000 more than the insurer’s original valuation — something I had been unable to achieve on my own after months of effort. His services were very reasonably priced, communication was clear and timely, and he made what had been a frustrating experience feel manageable and fair. If you believe your insurance company has undervalued your vehicle, do yourself a favor and contact Tim ASAP. His expertise truly makes a difference. (Sorry for the delay Tim!!)
Christine L2026-02-27CSC is your go-to consultant when it comes to negotiating with your insurance. They are experts on the laws that protect you against insurance company tactics. You want them in your back pocket advising you along the way so that you get maximum settlement value given the money we pay our insurance carriers. They are now my go-to from here on out. Thank you CSC!!!!
Homer2026-02-18Tim and Deanna were excellent in helping me solve my DIV claim after another driver slammed into my vehicle. They recovered for me a fair settlement making the pain of a large loss to vehicle value more bearable. They were nonstop able to give me updates and give me options when dealing with the at fault insurance even being available in off hours at times. It was wonderful working with Tim and Deanna brought the pressure to get the best settlement possible. I will be recommending them to all friends and family caught in the sad predicament I was caught in. Thank you Collision Safety Consultants!!!
Frederick Isavian2026-02-09If I could give Ten stars then I would. Tim P. Is a Godsend. In August an uninsured motorist wrecked my AMG GT. Allstate Denied majority of the repair (approved only $15K of $37K, less than half) that was being done by a Certified Mercedes Benz Repair facility. I reached out to Collision Safety Consultants and Tim Pfeifls answered the call and took over my battle with Allstate. Long road but, Victorious! If it wasn’t for CFS then I had to take my car to Allstate friendly shop that wouldn’t even blend! A BIG Thank You to Tim P and CFS.
Joe N2026-02-05Tim and team were absolute pros! They handled my RTA with Allstate expeditiously and professionally with results that EXCEEDED our expectations. You will be in good hands with these folks.
MEL RAMADAN2025-12-18I was referred by my body shop in Illinois in October 0f 2025 to speak with Mr. Tim P. with Collision Safety Consultants via email communication, in regards to my total loss claim on my 2021 Toyota Camry hybrid. My insurance carrier was low-balling me for the appraisal and total settlement amount of only $20,000. Email communication was precise and on point every time with Tim, he was extremely knowledgeable and helpfull in guiding me along the insurance process and really was just looking out for me and to acquire the best possible money amount from the insurance. With Tim's extensive professional experience in this industry we acquired a settlement amount of an additional $6,000 by mid December 2025.I was extremely ecstatic with the fast result Tim was able to achieve in a short amount of time. My friends and family were always asking me updates on my total loss claim and I told them God forbid you are in this situation you definitely want to have Collision Safety Consultants with Tim on your side for all of his incredible work. Thank you Sir!
Dawn Scott2025-12-17Pete Did an excellent job of staying in touch even though my insurance company was dragging their feet for over a month! And… when my insurance company finally came through he got me way over what I thought was possible! 🙏 I honestly could not have done it without the experience and knowledge of these guys.
Kevin Harrington2025-12-13Tim fought for me and my car will now be repaired to pre-accident condition. Professional, prompt and thorough. Thank You Tim!!
