    i paid for them to install the speakers with Television, amp and speakers. The system still says NEEDS INITIAL SETUP, I HAVE CALLED, TRIED TO GET THEM BACK HERE..TO NO AVAIL. I CANT GET THEM ON THE PHONE, OR ON THE INTERNET. WHEN YOU TRY TO ASK FOR RESCHEDULE IT WANTS TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER 200.00. I PAID THAT MONEY AND CANT USE ANYTHING! ITS RIDICULOUS. POOREST QUALITY OF INSTALL I HAVE EVER RECEIVED.

    Very unorganized with appointment time. Was given two different times for an appointment and they show up unexpectedly. Didn't even walk through how to set-up my surround sound in case I mess up the programming with the surround sound. Should've called Bose instead to set-up my system.

    Frankly the service didn't live up to expectations for the price. Multiple trips were necessary and they weren't able to complete without charging more.

    This review refers to original Geek Squad service to install sound bar. Item was missing installation parts. Geek Squad personnel didn't offer to help and left with sound bar setting on a cabinet when I wanted it mounted on the wall.

    They did such a poor job of wiring audio for home theater, I needed to remove everything they had done and redo it in a logical manner. Also, they attempted to hide wiring but got wires so tangled and stretched I had to buy some new cables.

    Not a good experience. I purchased a sonos arc. The salesman did not tell me I needed a separate bracket to install it on the wall. The 3rd party came out said they could not install. Now i will have to go back to the store purchase the bracket and schedule another appointment. What a waste.

    I ordered a TV installation with basic audio setup. The guys came to my apartment, did an ok job installing the TV (the power wire is hanging off the wall rather than behind the wall), and then never installed the sound bar. They said it wan't on their work order. Logged into my BestBuy online account and saw that they marked the service complete.

      Thanks for taking the time to share this experience. When I order a service, I expect it to be completed as it’s supposed to be and I’m very sorry to hear that may not have been the case in this instance. So that we can look into your order further, please give us a call at 1-800-GEEKSQUAD.

    I did not know that the Geek Squad uses Sub Contractor to fulfill their Service Request. I received text and email communication however I failed to answer the phone and upon the call back I received no response. Also, the 800 number that Best Buy offers is actually a Call Center and was shown to be ineffective in assisting.
