No one Listens when you speak
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A total waste of my time I had an issue with my surge protector / Line Conditioner I needed Geek Squad to either repair or replace the unit. When the tach came to do the job his work order said "Sound Bar" which I have never owned so there was nothing to repair or replace. And I was still charged the $ 79.99 for an incorrect work order

Charged for audio setup did not preform
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The guys who came out were accommodating and friendly. Best Buy charged $99 to test our Bose sound bar. These employees tried to turn it on and said it did not work. That was it. $99 - no testing beyond that. There was no technical testing beyond on/off. The other charge was 49 to set up sound bars which they said did not work, so they charged any way - nothing to set up- of course how could you set up sound on non working sound bars. A call resulted in no reply. They have are non-responsive - do not follow up - they have your charge card and that is the name of their game! I do not recommend. The techs they send out are limited beyond hanging a tv on the wall. I doubt they post this review!

Waste of time
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I scheduled an appointment to have someone from the geek squad come to repair the tv sound bar that was installed by the geek squad, since it was not working correctly. When the tech arrived, all he did was ask me for new batteries, to which he replaced the old batteries in the remote and supposedly changed some setting on the TV. When the TV was put on later that evening, the sound bar still was not working correctly. Currently, the sound bar is still not properly working. I’m extremely dissatisfied and beyond frustrated. This was my third attempt at getting this sound bar fixed and nothing has been accomplished.

Posted .Thank you for taking time out of your day to connect with us about this. It's always frustrating when appointments do not go as expected and communication falls through. While our goal is to always ensure that our customers are appropriately taken care of and feel like they are in the right hands, it seems like that may not have been the case here. We would like to hear more about what happened, and see if there is anything we can do to help. If this is something that you would be willing to do, please give us a call at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778.

Geek Squad service declining fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible experience and do not think I should be charged. Two agents were unable to synch the sound board and TV and they left me with two remotes to use. I could have just plugged the sound bar in myself. That is basically all they did. My overall service with Best Buy since moving to Ocala, Fl. is horrible at best. The store is mis-managed if managed at all. The check in system does not work. Folks are not available to help almost anywhere. Etc....

Very unhappy!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I told the person scheduling the appointment several times I need someone to help set up my AV System (surround system) similar to what I paid Geek squad for at my old house, but the technician said he only works on soundbars. I told him same thing as when I was in Best Buy scheduling the appointment that it’s not a sound bar. Audio is only working for cable, but doesn’t work when I switch to Netflix or Amazon prime so I’m very dissatisfied.

Not happy yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased our Sony TV and soundbar back in November. They came and connected everything. Our soundbar stopped working. We waited for them to return and swap out the soundbar. It would not work. Then they said it was the "mother board"in the TV and would need replaced.

To spendy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sub woofer is way to loud for the sound bar, base drowns out everything. Too expensive for what you get.

Dumba squad*
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some dumbest people ever had come over to my apartment. They said was not compatible after drilling holes in the wall. I installed it myself a week later. Now i have to get a quote for 3/4 in hole they left. If you get the the non-full motion mount, you should he ok with wall anchors they used. However, do not trust them will full motion mount.

We should have purchased the Sony Surround sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Geek Squad came and set everything up (or so we thought). We turned the tv off and the next morning, we could not get the sound bar to work. I cannot say too much at the moment because the Geek Squad will be coming out on Monday.

BAD SERVICE
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The "Tech" person you sent DID NOT have the knowledge to add this item to the system - WHICH I BOUGHT FROM BEST BUY and which worked when it was disassembled when I sold my house. I DO NOT think I should have had to pay for this, nor the service agreement that was supposed to suppy this service!

Complaint
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Washer 1st use; did not work....same day as delivery. On phone hold for over 1 hour. Then could not give me a date to replace within 2 days. Then went to store & Geek Squad said they could not do any better. Beyond their control per Appliance manager. General Store Manager was not in. I am traveling out of town, and now have to go to laundromat to wash clothes .Replacement is now August 4th. Hopefully the new unit works. I feel I should have a discount due to my inconvenience. #1121203963158.

Terrible, everything was done incorrectly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The agent was here for over 3 hours, he kept on wanting to leave even though job was not done. He did a terrible job but we are not engineers. Today my brother in law who is out of town and an engineer took a look and said it was all done incorrectly. So bad he could of blown our amplifier. I just spend 20 Minutes on the phone with Best Buy and nobody could refund my money. I would like to cancel my membership as well. I see no value in having bad technicians as a service.

Posted .We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. Our goal is to take care of your tech so you can just sit back and relax. However, we can understand why that would be tough to do if the work was done incorrectly, and could have possibly damaged your amplifier. That is far from the experience we meant to provide. Our installs have a 90-day warranty, where we can send someone out to redo the service. That said, if your brother-in-law touched what was installed, it would no longer be in the warranty as we wouldn't be able to verify our work. As far as that membership goes, if the membership you're looking to cancel is our Total Tech Support, you can cancel it within thirty-days of signing up for a full refund. If it's beyond that time-frame, the refund would be pro-rated for the time you have left. Either way, you would need to call 1(888) 237 8289 or 1(888) BEST BUY to get that membership cancelled.
