Not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I submitted a remote hard drive to in store, paid my fee and then they sent it out. I was contacted by your outside of store center telling me that they had recovered data but in order to receive data I needed to pay an additional $600. I had them return to me. Will never use this service again.

Still waiting on getting my computer back
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My computer had a hard drive issue so I dropped it off at the local store on Feb 25 which they sent to the service center in KY to be serviced. I was told it would take 10 days to fix the issue. As of March 23, my computer is still in KY and no one can provide me with an answer as to when I can expect my computer back.

Geek squad did not solve my problem.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could give 0 stars I would. Atascocita location could not stand by their own word. I understand ETAs can vary. The “diagnostic leveling” and how they charge by each level is ridiculous. You’re better off going to the manufacturer than here. The geek squad attendant was very unprofessional and made you feel like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Go elsewhere.

Misdiagnosed

Geek Squad Data Recovery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paid for data recovery on 12/29/23. It is 1/22/24 and I still don't have my laptop or my external hard drive back. This was supposed to take 7 - 10 days.

Unacceptable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The store experience was fine, but why in the world does it take FIVE WEEKS to perform a DECLINED level three data recovery??? Five. Weeks. And i STILL do not have my laptop. “Extensive testing” was tuesday 7/12. Unacceptable. Again, store experience is always exceptional.

drd not worth your time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The team didn't explain much if any of the steps in recovering so I took my business else where. Not worth the time, money or hassle.

WAY too expensive for data recovery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My external hard drive took a dump. The guys with Geek Squad were nice enough, but determined that it would need to be sent externally for further review. They came back with $1,400 needed and only guaranteed 1 file to be recovered. WHAT?!!

Wanted to charge $1300 for recovery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After already charging $250 to send off my hard drive, they quoted me $1300 to recover my data. Not worth it.

Data Recovery- really?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy obviously doesn't know how to do data recovery. I gave them specific files I wanted. I got this mess of an external hard drive back that I have to click through a maze before I can get to the five files they actually saved. Imagine my surprise.

Geek Squad service on computers is terrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One the Geek Squad gets your computer or hard drive, they do not want to hear from you. I have tried repeatedly to contact them but have been put on hold. This hold will last for greater than 30 minutes at which time I hang up. Do not use Geek Squad unless you want your computer held hostage.

0/5 stars
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute waste. They charged $50 (non-refundable) to ship it off only to call me a month later and say it would be another $1450 to get my wedding pictures off the computer. I told them i could retake my honeymoon twice over for that much

Posted .Hi CraigMeers,
Depending on the severity of the drive/file corruption, Data Recovery costs range from $100 and up. Unfortunately due to the excessive cost of recovering highly corrupted data the price can quickly rise. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Not that impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not that impressed Overall disappointed, the proper expectations were not set. Overall the people that waited on me were ineffective at best. I guess there was book real hope that they could recover any thing at a reasonable price.

Posted .Hi Coffeelover1,
I'm sorry if we were unable to recover the files you needed at the price you were looking for. While we cannot guarantee recovery of all files, we do attempt to do so at the cheapest option and go up from there. As significant data loss requires highly advanced techniques and labor for recovery prices may vary when the data or the device is partially or fully corrupted. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your services with us.
