Driven to Serve: Idilio Sanchez on Community, Cars, and Commitment to Fontana

This week on The Talk of The Town, brought to you by the Fontana Chamber of Commerce, hosts Danielle Holley and Carlos A. Garcia of F.Y.I. Technologies sit down with a true hometown leader, Idilio Sanchez, CEO of ABS Collision Center and a longtime advocate for business, public service, and community growth.

From getting his start painting Hot Wheels as a kid to becoming one of the most trusted names in collision repair across Southern California, Idilio shares how his Cuban roots, early political involvement, and entrepreneurial mindset have shaped a life of impact. A former city councilman, current Planning Commission Chair, and proud Chamber Board Member, he opens up about building from zero, adapting to a changing auto industry, and why he believes Fontana is the best place to do business.

You’ll hear about the challenges post-COVID brought to the collision repair world, why AI in auto claims is both a blessing and a curse, and how adhering to factory standards, not just industry standards, has earned ABS a reputation for excellence.

Whether you’re a small business owner, a fellow community leader, or just someone who’s ever been in a fender bender, this episode is full of wisdom, grit, and heart.
