JustAnswer connected me with an experienced tradesman who understood explanation. Worth every penny and every minute of time spent, my issue was an appliance failure which went unsolved by technician and repairmen until JA handed me the skills and support I needed to do the job.
Great job dryer works fine. Safed me money on guess work. Easy to understand repairs. I will highly recommend your service
My experience with the senior lawyer was amazing. Within only a few minutes on the phone, she analyzed the issue, provided a clear explanation, and warned me about further complications that could happen. There were questions that were spin offs of the main question, and these also were well done. If you want to save yourself money, or sanity, I would recommend Debra.
Did not work out for my needs. I do not have 100 words to say. I would recommend.
Not in a position to add much to my review. Hope this will suffice.
My dog has been diagnosed with a resistant staph infection. She was having a crisis (or I was) and I couldnt get in to see either of our vets. I found this service online and though I was skeptical, I asked my question. I got not just an answer but a conversation with Dr. Linda. It was clear she knew the subject. She gave me some advice and most importantly, some reassurance that there still is hope for beating this infection. This service doesnt take the place of a vet visit but I found it helpful when I needed some information.
Very quick response and quick to capture issue and suggest a possible resolution. Would recommend trying it out in advance of soliciting a local lawyer.
Easy and fast advice anytime anywhere. A little expense but they give you the pricing up front so you can decide if it is worth it for you.
Had a problem with who was legal own of a web site the person who created it for her daughter to use or the new owners who she sold her business too. Highly recommended.
I found this while searching online for an emergency vet in our area. So, I decided this was worth a go until I could find somewhere to take my dog. Dr. Perry responded immediately to my question and walked me through what to give my dog to induce vomitting, stayed with me when he did, instructed me what to do next with activated charcoal and assured me he would answer any questions if I still had any as the night went on. I texted him late after my dog vomited again and there he was right there answering more questions and reassuring me. He literally stayed with me from 6pm to 10:30 pm while taking care of my dog. Dr. Perry, thank you for helping me and thanks to you and your thorough explanations of what to do next saved my dog! My vet checked his liver levels and they are fine! You're the best!
Shawn was very helpful in giving me the guidance I needed in trying to get my abs stabilitrak awd situation fixed and whether or not it was a vendors fault in not knowing the car was all wheel drive and putting the wrong tire on my car which has been made worse leading toward at least $1,000 minimum repair bill. I appreciate his knowledge and assistance
Make it apparent that there is no free trial. Make it apparent that the free trial is 1 free question. The charge should only be applied after the free 1 question is answered and then only when the suspected victim or customer decides to become a subscriber and a customer. The concept is a great Idea more people would remain customers if the didn't feel they had been cheated
Right correct information I wish I had this help in real close to my area thank you very much...
If you want a second opinion, coming from experts this is a great site, undecided in what to do, their answers really helps on any subjects,, i am very happy with their service. It has helped me make the right decision...
Brian was knowlegable and his advice was spot on! I now have my lawn tractor up and running. Would recommend him to anyone.

I had a medical question that was time sensitive and after paying $25 I had to then sign up for a subscription to get my answer in less than seven days. As the question was, should I go to the emergency room, I had to sign up. My time with the doctor was about two minutes so they billed $750 / hour and still wouldn't answer the question until I paid more. They essentially extort money from people who are in need of information quickly.
Went to the site. Said tgey wanted $5 for me to ask a question. Sounds fair. They did NOT tell me however, that they nail you for another $19 to get a freaking answer! Then they gave the option of talking live instead of all the typing. I said yes to that $26 charge because i wasn't yet aware of the charge for the answer that didn't help. My card provider called inquiring about possible fraudulent charge which is why I checked my account. I called customer service immediately and demanded a complete refund asap. Because my credit union had stepped in and put a hold on the second and third charges, the comoany just had to release their request. Suppose d ly i will have the $5 refunded by Tuesday. If not for my wonderful Credit Union ( i never use banks) i caught the scam VERY quickly. But don't ever trust or use thus vomp a ny.
Hello Vila,
Thank you for getting in touch with us about this. I'm sorry to hear about the confusion that you experienced around the billing process.
The $5.00 is the deposit charged to post a question to the website, this is a portion of the full question value. The full question value is presented on the payment page, before you enter any billing information and customers are only charged when they enter their billing information and accept the payment terms. The Additional Services, like Phone calls and Remote Support for computers, do come with an extra charge that customers have to agree to before the payment is processed for those charges as well.
It sounds like you were able to get in touch with one of our Customer Care gents and have the charges refunded, which is great. If you need any further assistance or have any questions about the site, please don't hesitate to reach back out and we're happy to help.
Regards,
JustAnswer Customer Care
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.
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.
I asked a question regarding tax on funds sent from abroad to UK as a gift. The answer was not satisfactory regarding details on if /when tax is applicable. The site mentions a 7 day free trial but I was still charged for the minimal deposit. I changed my mind immediately after paying the deposit and did not open the response until 3 days later as I assumed my cancellation had gone through. I was notified that the deposit and 34 GBP ( because the expert had answered) had been deducted from my account because I had ticked the t&c box- you have to do this before you can ask a question. I would not recommend this service and fear that as the t&c are not clear and they have access to my bank details, that I will be charged in future. I have tried to unsubscribe to the service but have not had any confirmation that this has been done

Hi Peter,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience on the site but it sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding about how the site works.
There is no limit to the amount of time that you can speak to an Expert on the site. You can come back to the conversation and ask any clarifying or follow-up questions that you might have about the initial issue that brought you to the site. The Q&A page is intended to generate a conversation between yourself and the Expert, in this case a doctor, similar to what you'd have in person.
Also, the membership feature is an offer, not an obligation. We apologize if that was misinterpreted. There is also no default 7 day waiting period to receive an answer. It sounds like you might have mis-read or misunderstood the membership offer, which is a 7-day free trial. Typically a question posted to the site will get a response from an Expert within 30 minutes, with many responses coming far faster.
Please reach out to our Customer Care team directly at [email protected] or by phone at 1-800-509-5721 and we'd be happy to work with you to understand the site more or take a look at your account.
Regards,
JustAnswer Customer Care
