For Customers
Questions about finding and hiring pros
How quickly will I get quotes?
Most customers get their first quote within a few hours. Response times vary by service type and location—emergency services respond faster, while specialized projects may take a bit longer as pros review your requirements.
Is Call Gari free to use?
Yes! It's completely free to post requests and receive quotes. You only pay the professional directly for work they complete. No platform fees, no hidden charges.
How do you verify professionals?
We're honest about this: we don't. Call Gari is a connection platform—we let professionals create profiles and share their info, but we don't do background checks or verify licenses. That's on you to check before hiring. We're the matchmaker, not the vetter.
Are quotes binding?
Nope—quotes are estimates, not contracts. Either party can change their mind before work begins. Final pricing might shift based on what the pro finds on-site. All agreements are between you and the professional directly.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work?
Talk to your professional first—most issues can be resolved directly. If that doesn't work, contact our support team and we'll help facilitate a conversation. We care about your experience.
