Customer Ratings & Reviews

For a very reasonable cost, we've always added Geek Squad protection to our PCs and laptops. When we've had an issue with our machines, and had to send them in for maintenance or repairs, the Geeks always handle the problem with complete courtesy, understanding and a fast return. In a couple of cases, they've done remote troubleshooting and repair of our machines so that we wouldn't have to take them in for service. A great option when purchasing a computer, completely worth the small additional price.

One can't be too careful. And, it's always good to have extra protection for just in case something happens to your products! I wish Geek squad protection was cheaper and for longer periods of time covered AND money back if services not needed at the end of the warranty period. Or, if item breaks or messes up after the warranty, since the warranty wasn't previously used, then allow the warranty to cover the product anyways, post original warranty!

This is one of those things you buy hoping you never have to use. But when you do have to use it... oh my goodness are you so glad you did. Truly zero questions asked (besides the typical “what’s wrong with it” and such) and just gave me store credit to get same item or a different item of my choosing. I now buy their protection with all of my big purchases knowing that Best Buy has my back.

The protection plan paid for a new product since it could be fixed. From the time my product was examined and by the time I got my product, it all took less than 2 weeks

The geek squad is usually great but they ran into problems trying to set up the fax program on the Canon Printer 743. They came 2 times and couldn't get it to work. I called Spectrum and their "fax guy" fixed the problem within 10 minutes. The geek squad had not programmed the printer correctly and the Spectrum guy did and it was up and working simply with the correct information given to the Canon Printer. Was very disappointed in the geek squad - they suggested that I CALL Canon to set the system up with them - but isn't the Geek Squad supposed to do that if they have a problem setting the printer up?????

I have had Geek Squad for years and love it! I am tech savvy (30 years) but constant changes in technology means I am not always aware of newest issues and solutions. We have multiple laptops, printers at home and sometimes I need extra help! It pays for itself multiple times throughout the year!

I bought their insurance for my printer...only because of their great reputation. I don't expect to need them, but I like knowing I have bought from pros, in their field.

It was a good purchase and I would recommend it to anyone

Best option to have for printers as they always fail after the usual warranty period.

This is a must as you never know what things life can bring and accidental or just surge or anything can cause issues on a product. I know BestBuy is always there if anything occurs to ruin my day they can help and to purchase this is highly recommended. Even the best quality products can have issues so to be sure it doesn't put you out of service get the Geek Squad service. You can rest assured it will work for you if needed.

They couldn't help me. Couldn't suggest a different printer for my needs. I need to printer 11x 17 paper. They were unable to try to find me what I needed.

The Geek Squad tech added storage and ram to my new desktop and taught me how to access the additional drive. They improved the usefulness of my computer. I appreciated their help.

Geek squad has fixed a few of my electronics in a timely manner

Everything "tech" is hit or miss nowadays. Our present situation does not appear to be resolving anytime soon. We will ALWAYS purchase the "4-year Geek Squad Product Replacement" service. So important today, especially for those on a fixed income.

What is not to love about Best Buy's Geek Squad Protection Plans?!? They are reasonably priced and allow you to return the defective merchandise directly to their store to be fixed or replaced. Another giant retail competitor offers warranties on some of their products but it is an absolute nightmare to have anything repaired and forget about getting it replaced. If you want to be guaranteed that a defective product will be fixed or replaced you should go directly to Best Buy and make sure you purchase the protection plan!

I buy the extended warranty whenever I can. It is my experience that what can go wrong WILL. I find the value of this insurance brings me peace of mind to know I will get my dollar's worth! \ The professionalism of the Geek Squad staff, makes me rest assured that our electronics have a long life ahead of them to do all of our technology work.

One of the best choices. Geek squad staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and don’t treat you like your stupid. Always willing to help and answer any questions you may have and will help you make the best choice and decision.

As we know, printers are not easy to operate. And it is easy for various problems to arise. Therefore, it is worthwhile to buy this after-sales service.

Haven’t needed to use the geek squad service but it is of great comfort to know I have it in my back pocket just incase

I like the Geek Squad service. I brought it for my printer. I replaced my printer two times in two year without paying anything extra. (Other than Geek Squad Service Fee). And replacement was really smooth. Best buy customer care person just replaced my printer without any question. Only thing I feel is, it is costly for some products. My printer Price : $90 Geek Squad Service Fee: $25 (For two years)
