WeGoLook Review:

WeGoLook pays freelancers to inspect cars, accident scenes, real estate and businesses for insurance companies and law firms investigating claims.

How it works

The freelancer will be presented with a “look” that details the pay, where you have to go, and what’s involved. You accept or reject the assignment.

If you take the job, you’re expected to complete the assignment within 24 hours. This will involve driving to the site, taking multiple photographs and reporting on a variety of details.

If you’re inspecting a car, for instance, you’d need to get the make, model, VIN number, mileage, body style, accessories, condition of the tires, condition of the interior and exterior. You’d also need to start the car, check the signals, windshield wipers, lights, gears, heat, air, power windows and seats. And you must take notes and copious photos.

Time and pay

Looks typically take between 15- to 30-minutes, which makes the pay of $15 to $30 “per look” seem reasonable. However, freelancers report that they are often asked to drive significant distances, which is time consuming and costs a significant amount in gas money.

There’s no obligation to accept jobs, however. So, if you reject looks that are time consuming or distant, you should be able to make minimum wage or more. Pay is remitted within 30 days of completing a look.

Recommendations

Your chance of getting decent work through this app varies by where you live, with better opportunities in bigger cities. Other sites that offer similar work that may pay better include ProxyPics and IvueIt.

What their users say:

(from Indeed)

It’s impossible to call WGL a job because in my area there are very, very few inspections available. One per week has been the average since I started doing their inspections.They pay quickly but each assignment can be a money loser. WGL works if you happen to be going near the assignment. The average assignment pays $18 with a round trip of 35 or more miles, and takes about 30 minutes.

Sometimes the claims would be 25 miles out from your home with low pay

Long drives; low pay

If you l@@k at your pay of $20 per assignment and deduct your gas, insurance, data use, printing costs and taxes and time you are actually losing money on most assignments. It costs .55 cents a mile to operate a vehicle. Factor in the lack of workers comp and benefits and you will see you are getting burned.

I love the freedom to accept or decline without being penalized. The only downside is depending on where you live, the assignments might require driving 30 minutes to an hour away.

Negotiate

At least once WeGoLook contacted me by phone as they were desperate to find someone to take a distant gig, and I negotiated for an increase of pay. So, keep up with the communication and be willing to follow through and this can be an extra income for you!

Pay for assignments has actually gone down. It started at $15 and now it’s $12. $12 while you drive 1-hr Round trip. Gas is on you. Cell phone and uploading photos / data is on you. Wear and tear / insurance on car is on you. You are better off driving for Uber or making deliveries. After your cost you are earning less than minimum wage

    August 6, 2021 I have been a looker for a few years. In recent months the company has seemingly gone downhill regarding it’s lookers. They have started sending look notifications at basically all hours. 10:30 at night and 7:00 in the morning is unacceptable for me. Especially the 10:30 at night. I called three times to speak with a manager five days ago and I’m still waiting. I asked to not be contacted until my call was returned. That hasn’t been the case. I put on vacation in the app which is supposed to let them know you don’t want to be contacted and that was pointless. There is no concern about their lookers. It’s about them. The pay is really poor. I turn down about 90 percent or more of the look offers. I live in a rural area so most looks are an hour round trip. The looks aren’t difficult but if I can’t make the 57 cents a mile the feds say it cost to run my vehicle and 10-15 dollars for my time I turn them down. I have even been asked to do looks that are three and four hours round trip for $18-20. They have kinda become a joke to work with. I hope this gives you an idea of what you are in for working with them. If you are in a condensed area it may be better but I kinda doubt it.

      Thank you for your feedback as I had some of these concerns with distance and pay worthiness for my time and mileage.

    I worked for a company doing vehicle inspections and was paid well. Unfortunately, the company decided to turn my job into an app anyone can use. I had good pay and respect as a priority inspector and did the job faithfully driving distances that I was reimbursed for.
    After losing that job, I went to work for We Go Look, (my second opportunity to give them another chance because I read they were doing better for employees), and at first I thought they were better. At one point I was offered good money and did three jobs no one would take. After that, the pay dropped to nothing and I’m talking $25.00 for a three hour drive. Using the tool in their app, I worked out how much money would cover time, travel, the job and the wear and tear on my vehicle and phone. I put in my request and they did not respond to me, I’m still waiting. When I refused a four hour drive for $25.00 I was harassed by the person who offered the job. My phone was bombed with six requests all due the same day and when I refused my account was inactivated. I reached out to the company and complained, they reinstated me but now refuse all my counter offers. I wrote them a letter explaining just how unfair this was and I was told it went to the proper people. No one reached out so I’ve quit a second time. I want to warn people that this company will use you, do not care about you and while you actually do the work, you are not paid for it, someone else is getting money for the work you do.
    If you are starving and need work, you may get enough money for a hamburger, ($20.00), these days but in the end you are paying them to work for them. I am angry this is allowed and they take advantage of people in need. You have no recourse so I’m advising you to save your gas, tires and maintenance on your vehicle. I’ve worked there twice and this is my review.
