    Not helpful

    As an older person, I had some concerns about storage and transferring photos to an external hard drive. This ended up being a simple task that I figured out at home with a friend after the Geek Squad told me it was too complicated to explain, and that I needed to bring in my external hard drive and my computer to be helped. This information was untrue and unnecessary. I will not seek their advice again. Luckily, I have friends and YouTube, neither of which judge me.

    They're not always right, get a second opinion

    I made an appointment because the top row of the keyboard on my Mac laptop was not working. The geek squad employee said that there was no way to fix it and that I would have to buy a new laptop. They did no run any kind of diagnostic test on the computer or anything, just looked at it and said that I could send it to get repaired but I would probably come out to be the same as or more than the cost of a new Mac laptop. Then, I went to Apple Genius bar just to see if they could do anything, they ran a diagnostic test and were able to fix the problem by factor resting my laptop system. In 15 minutes they saved me $1,500 dollars (the cost of a new laptop, which the Geek Squad said I needed)

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Washing machine that was purchased in June stopped working in December had geek squad come and work on it several times - they kept replacing the computer board - said they replaced a belt and another item but did not. I out of frustration called GE service and 2 visits later my machine works. I tried to go thru geek squad about the manufactures warranty and was told it was not valid because of having geek squad and they kept sending out the same tech who just kept changing control board

    Nice client facing team. Horrible repair operatio

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Asus laptop speakers stopped working. After unsuccessful Windows reinstalls took device to BB Geeksquad. Paid for file backup and allowed laptop (which was under warranty) to head to “service center”. Upon return, tested speakers…they work. Now USB port is malfunctioning (it worked just fine before). Local geeksquad tried windows reinstall to repair with no luck. Told only solution is to send to service center, a third party operation based on what I was just told.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Late to your appointment today, charged in advance in the amount of $160.00! Stop charging advance payments for services yet to be rendered & don't give the customer a 4 hour window of time that you all do not adhere to! In addition, we paid a ton for our bew receiver & its so darn technology difficult that its the 2nd time we are paying for Geek Squad.. ugh! Service these days, its in the Philippines & english is quite broken!

    Computer held hostage by horrible turnaround

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    All I asked them to do was replace the ssd card of my computer and it took a week for them to do it with absolutely no way to track or contact anyone regarding the order the entire time outside of driving to the store. They also said that once they have the device, they are not allowed to give it back to me until the work is done.

    I dropped my laptop off to have a new battery installed. Tech told me to check back in an hour. I waited an hour and a half and it wasn’t ready. Three hours later got a text that it was ready, but have to make an appointment.

    Customer Service needs improvement

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I called to schedule a washing machine repair and I needed to change the service address. My appointment got canceled because of the change and I never got notified. I called to reschedule because my appointment was not showing in my account and Elisa, the customer service representative, implied that this wasn’t an inconvenience. This seems to be a problem that happens frequently, but has not been fixed.

    Terrible and horrible service

    agent did not answer questions and finally stopped talking Had no knowledge regarding the computer or printer involved Would not refer to supervisor or higher up specialist Even tho he had all the information from the past 2 days he refused to acknowledge this fact. Did absolutely not help me in no way. Instead, he just stopped the text conversation and I was left hanging. Very poor service!!!

    GeekSquad is just a useless service. A rip off

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If ai could rate them minues 10, I would. They send a "technician" to check on my LG refrigerator only to tell me that the technician cant do anything. Then they scheduled me with a 3rd party vendor and no one showed up. I called twice and rhey were useless. I called LG myself and was told that they didnt have an appointment with me. Waited for hours for nothing.

    Agent EMPTIED TRASH on computer without consent!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This first tech I allowed remote access, simply disappeared with no notice when (I’m guessing) he couldn’t figure out the problem. I called back and guy 2 worked a few minutes, apparently couldn’t figure things out. I watched him go to my trash and before I could disconnect him, he EMPTIED MY TRASH on my computer!!! Then he went to force quit and quit the geek squad app. He too, disappeared! How does he have a right to empty the trash on my computer?!?!
