Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have never been disappointed with Geek squad's protection insurance!

Apple products aren’t cheap to begin with, and if an accident happens sometimes the cost to repair can be up there with the cost of the item. Paying $40 to protect my Apple product for a year is a win-win

Please but the warranty! Between lightning hitting my house and just stuff stopping working it’s well worth the extra money! Every time something happened Best Buy was good to me and replaced my items.

Computer is working perfectly. I recommend this type if you are a student, and especially a medical student, it’s heavy but works great.

This protection is great for his computer. Can’t be too safe and Geek Squad does excellent work

Given the mixed reviews of an HP laptop, I decided to include this for piece of mind. It is possible that it will expire before I'd need to use it. However, the laptop is not cheap - upper middle of the road in terms of price. The reviews were mixed with good and bad but mostly good. So far, this protection hasn't been used, which is good news! Because of Best Buy's price match program, the laptop price was adjusted and so was the Geek Squad protection price.

I can't really speak to the actual fulfillment of the service, however I can say that the peace of mind that comes from having a protection plan (on something that I could not afford to buy a replacement for) is absolutely worth it's cost if the item is important. There's my rant.

We bought a laptop for a birthday gift and this was so worth it in case something were to happen to it.

Definitely recommend to buy the Protection! Worth every penny. My laptop was damaged and all I had to do was pick out a replacement. Of course I had to go through the process of them “trying” to fix it first - and even that would have cost extra without the plan. I always buy the protection plan on high priced items. It’s the main reason I shop Best Buy!

Good to know I have this extended warranty. I couldn't get the extended warranty offered by Asus on the laptop I bought from Bestbuy. Asus excludes laptops sold by Bestbuy from it's extended warranty program; which can be the same length and approximately $200 less.

Peace of mind. No worries. Must have with expensive purchase. Highly recommended

I’ve only had to use this once, because a key was missing off a chrome book. They took it and shipped it off and replaced the whole keyboard and shipped it back to the store. I just had to go a few days without the Chrome book.

This is a must for anything you carry around with you, if something happens to it besides it getting lost you bring it in to the geek squad and they take care of everything, I havn't had to use their services in a bit but its nice to know that they are there if anything happens to my laptop

They really knew what they were talking about and because I bought the 1 yr protection, when I took my computer to them to be inspected it was free.

I have had to have my computer in to remove viruses. They were able remove them within a few days at the local store, without having to send it to the manufacturer. Enjoy having that safety net in case I run into a major issue during my busy times of the year.

Best buy always helped me when I needed to return an item that has protection. No fuss no problems

Why does the warranty start on day 1 instead of the day the manufacturer warranty expires? Doesn't make sense. For this chromebook it has a one year warranty, so Geek Squad warranty should start on day 366. That'd be common sense. Based on previous experience with this protection on a different Lenovo Chromebook, I hope this one protects me better than that time. When I bought it previously, the BB employee told me that if I have any issues with it that they'd very likely just replace it when I brought it in (said that manufacturer won't do that but we will). Yeah they don't, they sent it in and it took a while to come back. That's fine but it didn't last long before it broke again and by then the warranty was up. The issue was a bad keyboard sticking on top row. I treat my technology very well, not around kids, so I think it just wasn't fixed well the first time or had inferior parts. I bought it again for this Chromebook because I needed some coverage in case something happened sooner than later but time will tell.

Worth the addition for extra peace of mind. love it

Got a Great Deal on the Laptop and since anything can happen i decided to insure it since the price for insurance is a Great Deal as well.

Geek Squad Protection is the best. If you have a damaged product they either send it for repair or they let you exchange the product. Definitely a great investment in case something is damaged. Only thing I say is that you have to buy another protection plan if you go to geek squad once.
