Toilet Repair in Andrews, IN
In Andrews, 78% of the housing predates 1990 and 89% of households own their home. Old fixture, and nobody else to call about it.
Short version
In Andrews, 89% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there is 78% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Andrews’s housing suggests
Housing in Andrews is mostly older than the standard: 78% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
