    Both diagnostic agent Shary L. and the technical agent who corrected the problem with my back-up program, Michael A., were competent, professional and communicated effectively about the problem I was having and the solution they were proposing. The end result is that my back-up program is functioning as planned.

    Brought in computer because it wouldn't boot. Geek Squad backed up all my data to an external hard drive and reloaded windows. Added WebRoot because they said it is the best. After taking computer home, one week later it's not booting up again and is back at Geek Squad for repair.

    Would have preferred to be charged for a diagnosis rather than be told my computer was not repairable and then sold an unneeded backup drive. Computer needed a power supply which I bought elsewhere for $27. which another store helped me with.

    Might as well have throw $150 in the trash. I still can’t view my recovered data after visiting 3+ times as they could not get it out of windows format into Mac format like it originally was

    Buyer beware, this product can only be charged thru USB to a laptop and takes over 3 hours. Very dissapointing to a frequent travler like me that you cannot wall charge this system without voiding the warranty.

    they MIGHT could recover my data but it would cost over $1000 for just the attempteven if they only recovered any minute (useless) amount of data. No thank you.

    Geek Squad helped with getting my new computer all set up. I'm very grateful to have a place to go that has the knowledge because I'm still "old school" and need lots of help.

    The microwave was installed by a Best Buy contractor. It vibrates constantly. I don't know if the product,(Whirlpool) or the installer is responsible for the problem. I don't know what to do....

If you haven’t already reached out to us for assistance please feel free to email us your order information and a description of the issue at online.communities@bestbuy.com for assistance.

    Sorry, but I did not need this service. I was told that my computer's hard drive was dying. It was not. I did not need this service or the new computer I purchased.

    Go somewhere else. There are some great caring techs here. But all that is wiped away with one bad, ignorant clerk, passing herself off as a tech.

      Hi Skippy –

      It’s disheartening and regrettable to hear that one of our associates soured your previously good experiences with us. We do hope you’re able to give us another chance in the future, and do thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
