TBA is an Indianapolis based company that has its roots in the heart of the Midwest. After purchasing the business from their father, brothers Kim and Carl Crouse formed TBA & Oil Warehouse, and set up shop in the former Gulf Oil bulk plant on S. State Street.
We’ve come a long way from when our counter was a four-foot-long board, the delivery fleet was a single old Ford panel truck, and A/C was something other people had. In 2002, TBA settled in at 2425 E. 30th Street, where we continue to operate just as it was in the beginning, with customer satisfaction as our top priority.
With nine locations – Indianapolis-Keystone, Indianapolis-Tibbs, Carmel, Avon, Greenwood, Noblesville, Anderson, Greenfield and Muncie – today’s third generation partners, Charlie Crouse and Ryan Wrege are young, educated, and computer literate. They think as hard as they work and have the vision to carry TBA forward. TBA distributes brand name products to our large and loyal customer base. We don’t just have customers, we have partners.
We ask our Customer Partners to openly communicate with us regarding any problem – big or small – regarding quality, service, or price. Our small business intimacy, and the ever-evolving focus on the needs of our Customer Partners, gives TBA insight to understand our partner’s needs. It is somewhat of a collegial atmosphere, where we grow together and continually learn how to serve you better.
Technology has and will continue to change our industry. Today’s business climate demands that we do more with less, except where technology is concerned. We realize that doing more, means more technology. To rise to that challenge, TBA has invested heavily in computer capabilities and training. This underwrites our ability to continue to grow, allowing us to meet the needs of our customers, whether they are part of the Central Indiana professional auto service community or beyond. It is just another way to that we are Accepting, Adapting, and Acting.
