“Problem fixed”

Curt B.
9/17/24

Everyone was helpful and informative even though it did take a day they did get my situation taken care of and I appreciate that. Hopefully I won't have to use them again but if I do I'll be comfortable in that. Thank you for your service.

“Wrong schematics”

Michael S.
9/2/24

Trying to find a wiring diagram for my 2021 Ford Ranger. Was sent nice colored schematics, which turned out to be incorrect. In all fairness, the Ford dealership didn't have the right schematics either. Nothing seem to match the vehicle. We identified the proper wire by using the pin that it was attached to rather than the color of the wires, which were not correct by either person.

Wanted some basic information about the problem I was having with my car's radiator. I was connected to someone who called himself an expert. I was told if I paid five dollars via my credit card (big mistake) that I can get connected with an expert. Gave them my credit card inform and was looking at my online account and WHAM! My bill shot up to 31 dollars in less then one minute. I called my credit card company (CapitalOne) and she connected me with this company. I asked her to stay on the line as my witness. Got my money back. I love that girl from CapitalOne. If she hadn't been on the line with me I would have been screwed.

Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time. "Go see an honest expert face-to-face

Hello Jorge,

Thank you for contacting JustAnswer.

I'm sorry for the confusion about the good faith deposit. An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms.

It sounds like an Expert responded to your question which is why you received a charge for the balance due of $31.00. Believe it or not, we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee that allows you get a refund for any charge processed within 30 days simply by contacting Customer Care. We're glad to hear that you were able to contact Customer Care for your refund and we hope that you were able to get your radiator issue resolved.

Let us know if you need any further assistance and we're happy to help.

It's been great the help I've had from kalamykid had not been for him I wouldn't have gotten my vehicle back on the road asap. He was the when I kept asking and wasn't sure of what I needed to do and what cost saving way of getting the job done. I would refer him or this service to a friend or colleague.

Thank goodness I was able to cancel my direct debit with this company after a lot of searching. They have been taking £50/month without my consent. I never knew they had set up a direct debit. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR BANK DETAILS as it appears a direct debit is automatically set up for a membership fee!
I got an email address for the company from the negative reviews they replied to. They have stated they will refund my money! I hope all the negative reviews will wake them up so they become more transparent with the membership fees.

Tip for consumers:
You can cancel your direct debit on your account, click on membership and cancel.

They charged me $46 even tho I cancelled the free 7 day trail immediately after I spoke to them. This is a scam to get a total of $51 from US! Dont Do It! I did not realize this until I found the charges on my credit card. I had to call them and demand the $46 back. They claimed I was signing up for a membership which was a lie. Even when I asked the 'lawyer' how to cancel I was given a bunch of bs. He had NO answer for me then & tried to charge me ANOTHER $5 to ask him how to cancel. I do not agree to anything that is going to cost me more money. I had to jump through hoops just to post this review as well. They sure do ask a lot for a company that wishes to "help".
USE THIS SITE WITH GREAT CARE. To post this review I had to agree to Sitejabber's Terms & Conditions, which seems to be odd. Why must we agree to terms & conditions to let the public know of our encounter with this company?

Tip for consumers:
Dont use this site unless you have more money to give them than they claim they will take.

They tell you that it only cost $1.00 to join. They will give you an inadequate answer to make you call them so they can charge you $46.00 for NOTHING! WARNING... I didn't call them, they called me and charged me $46.00 for absolutely nothing. Stay away JUST ANSWER. It's JUST A RIP OFF!

Was not made aware of monthly "membership" charge in any way whatsoever, I was under the impression it was $5 to talk to someone once. I didn't even get an answer from the lawyer because she said she needed to log off as soon as I started talking, yet when I checked my statements I saw multiple monthly charges from them. When I called customer service they claimed they could not refund me because I used up my "allotted questions" and agreed to a membership, which was incorrect.

Finally, I mentioned that I'd just dispute it with my credit card company and then they immediately said they'd refund the full amount. Unfortunately, the email confirmation/refund I received was only for 50% of the total, so I will be pursuing further action with them.

SCAM. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

This website GUARANTEES that it will answer your question or refund the fee (in my case $48). The chat-room format of the website exposed me to an absolute idiot who called himself an expert. He stated, at the end of the chat, that he definitely could not answer my question but that I should contact the vendor. He did not spend the $48 and left it open for some totally different question should I be dumb enough to ask something else. So the $48 rmains unspent and available until I do! In effect, the GUARANTEE is a bet whether you can think of a question they can answer, not the reverse. Thus they have my $48 forever without really stealing it.

I was in need of an answer for some symptoms that my dog was having. I was under the understanding that it would be $5 since this was the first time using this site. WATCH OUT I WAS WRONG! THEY CHARGED ME $28 + $33. When I called explaining that I did not want a membership to cancel it and that I had no problem paying the$28 I was told to bad you have to pay the$33. Dirty way to do business especially when your upset about your fur baby. Will never use them again!

I could not find help with my auto problem with google or on youtube so I tried the service on a "trial" basis. The tech that I interacted with was VERY helpful and helped me resolve my problem in just a couple of minutes. He also provided diagrams to help.
While I had a REALLY good experience I probably wouldn't use this servcie but a couple of times a year since I can usually find what I need from free resources and have family members that are in this line of work. I would recommend this service for anyone that does not have access to known or related individuals with subject knowledge.

This site signs you up for a monthly service fee! They don't give refunds either. Referred me to a lawyer who also had a fee. I would have been better served just going to the yellow pages on my own.

5 dollars to get in for the trial period, next thing you know, 69 bucks are missing and they won't dream of offering a refund. Even if it is the day of the purchase.

For that reason alone. 1 star
