“Good Tech”

Joe M.
10/11/24

The tech's knowledge was solid and advice was what i expected. I have an old receiver that failed to power up. After more than 30 years of reliable service he told me the time had come to probably get a new one. With few shops available anymore, unless it is a very high end unit, the cost of repair and inconvenience outweigh the purchase of a replacement.

“This business is a scam! AVOID”

Carly C.
11/4/24

This business is a scam. They advertise a small $2 charge for answers but discretely sign you up for an outrageous monthly subscription fee without being upfront about it. It's hidden in the fine print and is slimey and a scam. Avoid at all costs!

Verified purchase

It took three calls to get a technician who admitted himself that he didn't know the equipment I had or the solution to the problem, and then being charged $40 a month felt like a con job.

This service puts you in touch with an expert in some field, from plumbing to law, in which you need help. I used it once with a question about an electrical problem; the guy accurately diagnosed the problem and told me what to do, it was fine. The second time, though--a plumbing question, the dishwasher wasn't draining properly--I got instructions that I couldn't follow. I ended up looking for an answer on Google, which sent me to a Youtube video, which suggested I was lucky I hadn't gotten very far--there were basic things I hadn't been told, including how to avoid electrocuting myself. When I complained, JustAnswers really didn't apologize or take the problem seriously, though they did refund their fee. I won't use them again.

It depends on who you get. I got a vw mechanic who didn't give my any exact answers. Then the time was out before he could actually reply with a good answer.

My credit card was charged for the advice, which I could find online plus a monthly fee of $31.00 I did not know about. Remember they are lawyers, so be careful, I will not use this company again.

Not impressed. Lured into paying £5 for trial membership then spotted a £38 DD had been set up without my being aware. Never received any answer so £5 for nothing

I had a question about dealing with black mold. The service representative answered my question and responded immediately when I asked for further clarification. It was, indeed, an ongoing chat.

Just Answer ignored my requests for cancellation and a refund, despite advertising that its trial offer was fully refundable. The service did not help me with my question. Useless and deceptive.

I signed up for a "Free Trial" and then was charged 60$, stay away from this site. The customer service agent is a bot, have fun talking to that a lot.

Hello Jesse,

Thank you for getting in touch with us about this. We apologize for any confusion. There are a lot of websites on the internet that offer services for free but JustAnswer has never been one of them.

The 7-day subscription trial requires a deposit to be placed to use the service, then the membership billing begins after the end of the trial in order to prevent an interruption in service. It sounds like you might not have cancelled the service during the trial period.

We will reach out to you for more information so that we can locate your account and we look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,
JustAnswer Customer Care

Excellent advice, got the job done with no hassles.
Confirmed what I suspected, I just needed reassurance. Because as anyone knows, when you're messing around with a BMW, they're really particular.

I really like the service provided, seems fairly priced so far. The answers are received in a timely manner and 50$ a month is good value for whom can afford it.

Watch out for them. I used their service once in Aug 2019 and didn't realize they were charging me $46/ mo for 26 mos. They did refund 8 months but only one charge was, in fact, valid

While searching for possible causes for one side of my 10 month old $#*! American Staffiees face to have awoken up I stumbled across JustAnswers online Veterinary services, considering it was around midnight & I was a little worried about possible breathing disabilities I thought it was well worth looking into.

I was replied to almost instantly by a very professional veterinary who asked for the symptoms & details of the canine & following my answers a photo was requested.

After more conversing & a couple more photos were sent a probable diagnosis was made & which anti inflammatorys & what dosage should relive the suspected complication.

After monitoring & administration of suggested remedy's the canine made a fast recovery & soon sprang back into her mischievous ways

The recovery follow up by the veterinarian was also a very thorough & professional touch

I can't recommend using JustAnswer enough

Quick and simple resolution once the remote was set up which took time- my fault probably, a bit pricey on this occasion but a man has to earn a living

Avoid at all costs. Scammers.

Debit your account for what should be a holding charge if you continue membership whilst advertising free refundable £1 service for a initial question.

Disgusting.

Please don't use this site! There is an automatic membership fee that is recurring. I cancelled my membership on their website one week after I joined. However, I continue to be billed a monthly fee for membership. The customer service center is apparently located in another country and the information provided is inaccurate. These are shady practice for any company, but especially when it isn't possible to reach anyone who has authority to make decisions or answer questions regarding billing and membership. The customer service representatives simply read from a script, repeat themselves, and refuse to transfer the call to anyone who can make such decisions. YOU WILL BE CHARGED EVEN AFTER YOU CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP!

Called and spoke to the veterinarian about my options and he gave me excellent advice. After finding the bone, I am sure we saved our dog from a serious surgery.

No fuss, fast answers, when you need them rather than 'for next time'.
Some of my questions have been rather complicated, and the experts usually have a good usable answer.

I had parking light issues, thought I had "dud" globes
Bought new ones, inserted them
Not working, no power at connection
No fuse listed in Benz paperwork, other than Electronic?
Used this service, got an answer referring to SAM unit
Also little trick of closing car kicking it and then later unlocking it, to reset power to the lights
In the meantime I had done this by moving car and locking it, and suddenly noticed the light warning was gone from the instrument cluster...
IT ALL NOW MAKES SOME SENSE TO ME

THE SERVICE COVERED OTHER ISSUES IN SOME WAY RELATED TO ELECTRICAL GREMLINS THAT A FAMILY MEMBER WAS SUFFERING ON HIS BENZ

Avoid them at all costs!
They do not send any email correspondence about your membership. It is unclear what you are even signing up for. They will charge you every month $46 for nothing! BE AWARE!

Hello Paulina,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about any frustration.

We're very sorry for any inconvenience. It sounds like you were surprised in regard to the monthly membership payment. We apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding. When you visited our site and began the process of posting your question, you were met with several messages from us explaining how you are signing up for a Membership, starting from when you post your first question. If the trial period was not canceled within that 7-day window, your account would transition into a full membership, where we would collect a monthly payment from you each month until you decide to cancel the service. This was all readily displayed for you when you were submitting your billing information before your first question was posted.

We also send several membership-related emails that mention your next billing date, including a Subscription Reminder email to announce that your trial period is coming to an end and that your first membership payment is coming up. It sounds like the emails may have been routed to spam. The Subscription Reminder email includes a cancellation link. Additionally, you would have seen a page similar to this when you signed in to ask your first question: https://i.imgur.com/lHVoH84.png

If you need any assistance with your account, please reach directly out to our Customer Care team from the contact Us page at https://www.justanswer.com/help/contact-us.

We look forward to hearing back from you and resolving any open concerns.

Best,
JustAnswer Customer Care Team
