Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am currently going through a warranty claim for an LG refrigerator that had the compressor go out after about 15 months. The initial call to Geek Squad was a good one and the tech was very helpful and made it sound like my refrigerator would be back in action in 3 days. We pretty much diagnosed it over the phone and he said that the compressor is a common part and would be able to get replaced the same day. Then the night before the service I get a call from a third party that is responsible for the diagnosis saying that they cannot make the appointment. This was after rescheduling work and personal appointments that day and delaying a cross country drive that I have to make (still). From that point until 10am the next morning I have been on hold for 6 hours with 3 different entities trying to get everything sorted. The special forces ended up being the most helpful but told me all of the things I didn't want to hear (although she was great and I appreciated finally getting the correct information). The technician will pretty much never do repairs same day. Once they diagnose the purchase of parts has to be approved which likely takes 2-4 days according to the special forces rep. Then I am told by the third party technician that compressors need to be installed by someone certified to perform that work and all of their people are booked up for atleast a week. So at this point we are looking at a 2 week fix for a refrigerator but something tells me it may take even longer than that. I am living out of coolers with 2 kids and 2 old in-laws and my wife. I would rather have saved my warranty money and called a service tech on my own and have it fixed in a few days. It seems like most customer service these days, nobody is in a position with responsibility and can only pass you onto the next department. I am calling everyone I can at this point throughout Best Buy and Geek Squad to file complaint and see what can be done to remedy. Either way, this has been a joke and being without a working refrigerator for more than a few days is unacceptable when I have paid extra for the warranty.

This is the first time getting Greek Squad, but after reading all the bad reviews from all the refrigerators I wanted more insurance, I hope I don't need the protection but if I do I hope they will honor their contract in the proper fashion

Peed for those instances where something unexpected happens. Such as. A Samsung fridge having issues lol

You can’t go wrong after a couple years everybody always wonders about the device that they got a few years ago and one new it’s going to die but when you have geek squad no need to worry they will just give you a brand new one

This is a great purchase, it saves you money when you buy extended warranty plans, get your freebies as far as things being removed from the house that they would normally charge you for and all the tech support you would ever need. It is a must buy!

Usually purchase for large appliances or expensive items. Have used the service/warranty on other items. Fast and simple process.

The agents installed my Range very quickly and efficiently. They did a great job.

Had to return and item and they exchanged it cause it was defective that we bought for our daughter in law. Had no problem.

I could not function without Geek Squad support. I have had their service for years and call on their help fairly often. Their ability to remote in and fix whatever is happening is priceless. Rarely have to take computer to store for service.

I mean for the price, it’s a great value. $79 will cover my freezer contents due to malfunction? That’s worth it right there

The guys get in the fridge without no issue very kind professionals 5 star to the team

Going great and kids love to draw on it. Screen is good. Water filter needs quick replacements. Else all good.

Soon after my freezer was delivered and turned on one of the shelves shattered. I called the Geek Squad and they they arranged for a replacement to be sent out a couple days later. Everyone was so nice and I am happy with my purchase.

associate very good in working with me. took extra time

Utilized my geek squad protection after my dishwasher went out 15 months after purchase. Tech came 8 days later and said he’d have to order the part and it could be another 8 days. Pretty standard as far as warranties go, but still frustrating for such a new product.

The warranty is good but there are a few items you should red in fine print. As with my experience with broken TV, the item is taken and they can take time to repair it and you will be without the appliance for a few weeks. Bestbuy tries to sell it to you. Often unnecessary if too expensive. Take it if you must

They are the best at there services, help on time love it

I just love Best Buy's Geek Squad Protection Plan. I never have a hassle when needing to return something. I don't even have to have the receipt. They just look-up my phone number and find everything they need.

I purchased the geek squad plan for my freezer because the plan covers food upt to $300 and damage due to power outages which is what ruined the my old freezer.

I was looking at other places to buy appliances, and Best Buy seemed to have the best value for their warranties. I like that you don't have to pay for a service fee, it too is covered.
