Do not use geek squad
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rude staff, basically told me they can’t fix my computer, so I took it home and fixed it in 30 minutes myself, went back another time to get a cpu cooler installed, and they installed it incorrectly and my computer temperatures are extremely high, don’t waste your money.

Money down the toilet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish I had read the reviews before signing a contract for a year with the Geek Squad. I thought I had found the answer to my tech woes - I could just call the squad when something wasn't working! The Geeks set up our new TV and sound bar. Yay. But about a month later, the sound bar quit working. I tried connecting and reconnecting stuff as instructed via live chat, and still nothing. I thought that then I would be able to make an appointment but nope - I was told to call the manufacturer! No Geek would be coming to help me. Money down the toilet for that "membership".

Not worth the cost
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cost always increasing and fewer and fewer services are provided. Only helpful if you live near a Best Buy store and many stores are closing. No longer covers virus protection unless purchased for extra. For Apple products, you need to have lurched AppleCare.

Run the other way worse service ever
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If there was a zero or negative then that would be more appropriate. Service, communication, everything is a joke. Don’t buy from best big and don’t deal with geek squad

Geek Squad
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.6 hours with 8+ representatives and zero fix from online geek tech support. At one time in the past the service was great with highly competent support. Not today. I will likely not renew this service.

Folders Disappear
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Every single time I've brought my laptop to Best Buy to fix a problem, at least one of my folders on the main screen is gone when I get the laptop back, "fixed." Sure, the problem is "fixed," but now I lost so much saved information in important folders! One time, I lost 3 whole folders that were on the main screen! When I asked Best Buy where the information went and how to get it back, they had no idea how to find it.

Useless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This doesn't even count as a 1 star, Not only can you get the same thing but for free on videos, It also takes at least 2 - 7 Weeks. You can get it faster by doing it yourself with just a few hours of research. Don't waste your money on this garbage

They Lie
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I moved and my tv was packed in the original box and original pack and when I unpacked it and plugged it in after setting it up the screen had lines on half the screen. I called cause I paid extra for the warranty and geek squad told me the will cover it as a one time courtesy. That was a load of bull. I wasted half my day waiting on the tech to show up only to tell me they will not cover it. I called geek squad back because they are liars and the agent kept putting me on hold only to tell me they will not honor the original claim that they will cover it under warranty

Best Buy is scamming customers!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the worst journey dealing with Best Buy that I am working towards my report to the Better Business Bureau & The Consumer Protection Agency. I have two TVs from Best Buy that failed both lasted about a year's timeframe. This company is the worst to buy from. I plan to let the world know that they must rig their TVs for people to have to go through a load of hassle with them. They need to be investigated.

Membership protection plan
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely horrendous service! Store employees are no help at all! I simply just asked them to help me cancel my geeksquad protection plan and they couldn’t even do it. Instead of that they asked me to go back home to call support. Went back home, tried to call multiple times and the wait line was always 3 hours. Spent more than 2 hours of my day off on the line with the hope to get the support but my phone got dropped after it said your wait time was 2 minutes. Terrible service I have to say it again, be careful when you purchase a new phone and they ask you to join this scam plan.

Geek Squad is a Joke like Best Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two supposed techs showed up and did not have the knowledge to hang the TV I purchased at Best Buy along with the mount. They did not have the tools needed to do the job. There have been over twenty phone calls made to Beat Buy with no resolution in sight. Was told the people on the phone clear out the calls as though they are completed when no resolution has been made. The TV slopes on the wall because they did not have a level. The two individuals did not know how to program the TV. We are going on nine weeks now with a TV that will only stay on for ten minutes at a time. On the phone with the Geek Squad over two hours today and still no resolution.

Geek squad canceled my appointment for no reason.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a new radio installed in my car and everything was fine. A couple weeks ago my two front speakers went out at the same time. I made an appointment to see what was wrong and a day later I get a phone call. They claim it's the speakers which I can't imagine both going out at the same time. I had to wait about 2 weeks to bring the car in and when I got there today for some odd reason my appointment was canceled. They wasted my time and I feel like I was lied to about new speakers. Now I have to wait until January 2nd to get it fixed. Not a great experience at all.

Do NOT think they can help you.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Printer message was "Printer is offline". 4 phone calls and 5.5 hours later, I still have the same problem. Was told it was the document that I was trying to print. After nearly 6 hours, I screen shotted the document and it still won't print. One agent said she'd call back in 10 minutes and never did.
