"TERRIBLE SITE" (NOT THIS SITE)

[re-reatta]

I posted a question on "Justanswer.com" last night concerning a problem with my wife's 2008 Grand Caravan. Very quickly, I got a response from a Dodge "expert", asking how much I would be willing to pay if he was able to help me. This is apparently how they work on this site, as there was an area for me to check any one of three amounts that I would pay. It was almost like a form, for lack of a better word. I, just as quickly, contacted the site and politely let them know what I thought of their site, that I would never use their site again and that I would let others know of their "Pay for answers" policy. If anyone else has had an experience with this site, I would be interested to know if you were asked to pay for answers.

Thanks,
Kevin

Sadly its just a fact of life on the Internet...just don't go back.

When I need info for a particular car I just Google the make and model with the word "forums" at the end.

This is what I got when I did that for your Caravan

The site doesn't hide that it's a 'pay for play' site. It may not be evident from the home page (home page is designed for people to take a 'bite') but if you search out the website, it's clear that is how they get their revenue.

I suppose if they clearly stated on the home page you have to pay for an answer, the site wouldn't do so well. They got you to nibble which is initially what they wanted. Ethics...not an equation.

No experience here with that site, but if you are looking for a good forum for asking questions about the Chrysler/Dodge minivans I have a good one for you. The Chrysler Minivan Fan Club Forums They always come through for me when I have questions about my Grand Caravan.

When I was driving a jeep I used to use ALLPAR.com. There is a lot of free information at the site. It helped to cure many of my problems.
