Customer Ratings & Reviews

TL;DR: We bought a service plan on a brand new 55" TV which has been broken/non-functional since approximately 90 days of ownership. Two months later and Geek Squad has failed to repair or replace the set. I would honestly stay away from both this set and Best Buy service plans. You're not getting your money's worth. We bought this TV after our order from Amazon was delivered with a smashed screen. We went with Best Buy as we've had good experiences with them previously, plus I wanted to go ahead and purchase from a local retailer. I picked it up on the day I ordered it online which was nice. Unfortunately the TV worked for about a month and a half, after using it not more than a couple times a week. I purchased the Geek Squad service plan immediately. It took them two weeks to even come look at the set, and even then they didn't show up in person. They called me and diagnosed over the phone. Their diagnosis based on the flashing codes was a bad controller board. They had the board delivered to our house. It then took them 3 weeks to come to our house to replace the part. The agent was nice, but after replacing the board the TV was still broken. Because had to "follow Sony's guidance" he was forced to just go down the line replacing PCB boards in the set until the issue was fixed. He ordered another set of boards and left without scheduling anything, promising a call later that week. The call never came, but the parts did. He showed up unexpectedtly last week on Monday to replace the parts (we are now two months into this saga). Surprise surprise, the parts didn't fix the TV either. Unfortunately "Sony has to make the determination whether we continue by replacing the panel or replacing the whole TV." It's now been over a week and I've received no phone call, no email, no indication whatsoever that Best Buy intends to actually fix this and make good on their service plan.

this was a good buy, bought for a friend and applied to tv purchase.

It’s great for someone like me that doesn’t understand electronics and getting them setup & troubleshooting

5 year protection plan for a reasonable price. Great coverage.

Does the job that it was designed to do and does it well without incident.

The salesman was very helpful. I took the 5 year plan

every electronic that is purchased needs to buy a protection pan

every electronic that is purchased needs to buy a protection pan

Just great knowing that the product is protected by geek squad.

I've never had to use it but I wonder if I could extend it?

Great I couldn't ask for more. This is why I always go to best buy.

An absolute waste of $$$ this time around. I have spent hours on the phone waiting for service. I'll just include here my log of calls to Best Buy to get a replacement remote control on my TCL TV, for which I paid $75 for a two-year protection plan: • 14 Mar 22 @ 950 am called BB. Dan. “new remote in mail in 3–4 days and email soon.” • 20 Mar 22 @ 9:43, I called and spoke with Yenner because CHAT was no help. They could not find order # (of course because Dan hadn’t followed up). • 21 Mar 22 @ 9:36 – 10:00 am: called the # that Yenner gave me 866 613 9853, with ref #283704195 —waited over 10 min on hold…SPOKE WITH CHAD…he gave me same order # as in the email from Dan on 14 March. When I told him I’d already been waiting a week (not just since my call yesterday), he realized the mistake and reordered (previous was an in-home order without an appointment date, so I may end up getting 2 remotes). • NEW ORDER # 76764340, and should arrive Thurs or Fri. • 28 Mar 22 @ 9:45am—Called and spoke with Dale. He said, “Chad did not hit ‘submit’ button”; gave me new ref #: 76967624 and emailed me a confirmation # (remote will be mailed 2-day) ORDER REF # IS ACTUALLY 96957624 ACCORDING TO EMAIL • 28 mar 22 @ 1004 (Dale hooked me up with cust svs) “9 min wait—we’ll call you back” I left my # • 28 Mar 22 @ 10:13 got call back and had to wait for Lucille. She looked over previous notes, couldn’t understand that I wanted refund of $74.99 I’d paid for “Geek Squad Protection Plan” she put me on hold. • 28 Mar 22 @ ? Kayla; I explained to her, she transferred me to Mohamed (10:28am) in Primary Support. He couldn’t help, did not even have access to order #s. He said I would not have to wait and he transferred me to Billing & Renewal: • 28 Mar 22: @ 1035, Billing and Renewal—on hold As I write this I've been on hold (or talking with the wrong agent) for 65 minutes. Still waiting to speak with Billing and Renewal (20 minutes on hold).

When purchasing TV it's almost a must have to have a warranty in place. Made the mistake in the pass and never covered.

It is always worth the money to get the protection for electronics.

With technology, it's never a bad idea to be covered by a warranty.

I really glad to know that my television is cover by the Geek Squad

I get this protection on everything and don’t have to worry

Geek squad services has been great and timely... Very quick with installations as well..

haven't use it but i hoping when i need it will working

I'm glad I purchased the extended warranty for my TV. It's well worth it.
