    The Geek Squad guy was in a big rush to fix the TV connection issue and was leaving when I found he had created another issue. After he was gone we discovered that he had disconnected part of our whole home speaker system. TOTAL FAIL AND NEVER AGAIN USE GEEK SQUAD.

    The Best Buy techs mounted the TV but could not bury the wires, which was part of my requested service. A 2nd sub-contracted Geek Squad team installed a different tv and buried the wires.

    After several attempts to have our surround system set up by the Geek Squad. We still have a constant humming from the speakers. The Store is not taking responsibility of the problem and refuses to replace the components. We spent $9000 on our surround system, and it has never been right. We purchased everything in 2024 and it was installed in 2024. Best Buy did 100% of the installation and will not help. Not to mention. All of our points that we have accumulated over the years have disappeared and now we are screwed in that area also

    The Denon didn't allow the installers to use the automatic sound set up. The Geek Squad did a good job. The Denon receiver didn't allow them to set up the speakers.

    Knowledge and set up were excellent. The rat nest of cables left not so much. Having to use 4 remotes is a pain.

    Spent Christina’s eve at home waiting for a tech he came out knowing he had an 85 in alone. Said there was nothing he could do and someone would call us to reschedule and refund us the fee. Never got a call or refund. Went into the store they scheduled another appointment for 1/11. We waited 3.5 hours only to get a call where they said they had the wrong team and would need to send a different team out on a different day. This was almost the end of the window we were given. It is now 8pm the night before and I haven’t been called with a window. This is ridiculous.

    The service was not delivered as promised. Some items were not installed. It is unclear if that was due to the equipment or if the tech was not trained for the work.

    Unfortunately, the person said my a/v receiver was to old and not capable of connecting the Bose speakers to the receiver and tv. However, as I already had them connected, he did get the DVD player to work with the speakers. (?) When he left, I turned off the DVD player it did not come back on again. Since my speakers did work with the tv prior to being moved, I do not think he knew how to work with an older a/v. So bought a new a/v, and have scheduled the Geek squad to come again next week for set-up.

    It took 4 trips by the Geeks before Chris realized there was a disconnect between the TV and sound bar. I exchanged the sound bar and all is well.

    Although instruction at the time seemed good, its clear that key info was left out. There are issues that are not easy to resolve and no coherent documentation was left with me. While I was assured that I could just text with a follow-up question, the text was never answered. Also, some minor but annoying wood damage in the ceiling that I will have to repair.

    It took three times for them to hook it up so I could use it and it's still not right. They did not explain what they were doing so I could use it in the future. I think they meant good but maybe didn't know the product thoroughly .

    Geek Squad subcontracting leads to failure

    Install not completed. I bought everything Magnolia people recommended. Geek Squad subcontracted install to a 3rd party who then subcontracted to a 4th party. Install crew didn’t have enough cable to run speakers and wouldn’t offer additional for sale as they had none on the truck. Contacted customer service and explained everything… They scheduled a 2nd trip. Installers showed up without any wire and couldn’t complete once again. I then visited local Best Buy and bought extra wire and explained what had happened. They sent to Geek Squad. It’s been 4 weeks and zero contact from Geek Squad.

    Brock was very knowledgeable in setting up my home entertainment system. However there are some areas pertaining to the sound system that are hazy.

    Starting from the end - The geek squad engineers coming home are very professional, nice, and doing great work. The problem is that setting a meeting is always getting the wrong assignment and the meeting might be canceled at the last minute. All items I bought from best buy had technical issues and needed fixing or replacement.

    NOT HAPPY

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    TV mounting was OK, but connection to equipment was poor. Geeks willy- nilly pulled cables that should not have been pulled resulting in my equipment not working properly and eventually led to Damage to my system. I'm still in the process of trying to figure out system operations since Geeks reconfigured it. Quite disappointed and now need to replace equipment, hopefully at Best Buy / Geek Squad expense. Still assessing additional operation of my equipment to ensure I can work it OK... Please contact me to get an update on problems created by Geeks.
