Customers highly value the Basic Audio Setup for its sound quality, ease of use, and efficient installation. Many appreciate the technician's knowledge, connectivity options, and overall professionalism. However, some customers have reported issues with the soundbar's longevity and compatibility, as well as concerns about the remote control.

    Geek Squad service declining fast

    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....

    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.

    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.

      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.

    We ask to have our reciever installed. First appointment time came and went, hour and half later they showed up. Came in installed and left. Did not explain anything. Tried to get some information on operation of the unit. The tech reached in the box and said here is the manual. It was not. This is not a plug and play unit, I am very dissatisfied with the service. I will never use them again. Plus the tech scratch the cabinet, did not say anything. Just poor service.

    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

    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.

    The TV was connected okay, but we were not shown how to use the new controller. Very disappointed. We paid $200 dollars for the set up which included $50 to connect the audio. It was one wire.

    I knew I was going to have to set up the universal remote system (Harmony IR) myself, but as it turns out they did not correctly attach everything that had oreviously been attached to the other TV. I specifically told the salesperson what my setup included, apparently it did not get communicated to the installers. I had to contact the guys who had done the original custom installation and pay him to correct what these guys did wrong. Regretting not hiring him to begin with, as he would have charged me less than half what Geek Squad charged, and he would have done it right the first time!
