Other exclusions, including restocking fees, non-returnable products, and all other terms and conditions of the Best Buy Return & Exchange Promise apply.

Products that require installation (such as remote car starters) are some of our perennial best-sellers around the holiday season. We’ll always try our best to accommodate your needs when scheduling a service appointment, but the demand for appointments around the holidays is so high that appointment slots typically fill up quickly. We’ll be happy to reserve the most convenient, available appointment slot for you, but for time-sensitive services/installations we recommend that you schedule as far in advance as possible.

For vehicle installations, you can view, schedule, check, change or reschedule appointments by visiting Geek Squad® Autotech Reservations.

To book any other appointment for repair, installation, troubleshooting or device pickup, please visit here.
