Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like my geek squad protection as I rest assured I can have my new computer fixed if need be

Well, I never thought I would use my warranty so soon. My laptop was a little over a year old and it wouldn't hold a charge. It had to be plugged in for me to use it. I took it in and was sent out for repair. It turns out that it needed a new battery. It took a bit longer because of the holidays, but I am a satisfied customer. I recommend everyone get the extended protection on their electronic equipment.

There are MANY options for computer repair insurance out there. Some are really fantastic. The upside of geek squad is that you can physically bring your computer in and generally get it back quite fast if there's a problem. You don't have to worry about sending it away and it possibly getting lost in the mail or who knows what and then waiting for them to look over your computer and waiting for them to decide what to do with your computer and then waiting for it to get back to you. I need my computer a lot as a student and a mother helping her child through virtual learning so I do not have the time for my computer to be down for a couple weeks while it's getting fixed. Also, if you're like me and keep your computer pristine you can always extend your geek squad coverage at the end of its term as long as your computer is in great condition.

The response and friendly service you receive is well worth any fees to get this protection

Get it if the item is over say $500. Electronics are so quickly made these days and even those that are quality controlled, such as my laptop, there are going to be issues just shortly after the warranty is up I f-ing hate that. So it's either $$ per hour that make fixing the device inequitable to you or buy a new one. The best perk about the Geek squad and the Protection is the better comprehensive coverage that it carries. Manufacturer's warranty is factory flaws, Accidental coverage includes "mishandling" which I did. I took it in and 3 days later had a new screen. Paid for itself right there. I had a professionalism issue with one of the reps but overall it was still excellent.

Computer is clean and runs great no issues whatsoever. Haven't needed geek squad on this Computer but have always had good service when ive had other electrics serviced

So far so good.have had problems with my kid breaking screens but never a problem with geek squad repairs or service. They’ve always gone an extra step to make sure they’re accommodating my misfortunes understandably.

Was asvised on the protection plan and was well informed of the service. My spouse will be using it for college and woth the kids running around never know what could happen. So appreciate the sales rep knowledge they shared with us when making the purchase.

Heck yeah I would definitely buy again! You just never know what is going to happen with new electronics! Peace of mind is priceless! Okay well maybe it does have a price! But it’s worth it!

The best purchase ive done the garante has so many benefits

We noticed several small problems with the laptop we bought so we took it back to Best Buy! The Geek Squad member signed us up. We only had to wait 15 minutes for them to look at our problem laptop. The Geek Squad said that they would have another laptop sent out to us the next day! No questions asked! The 3 Year Accidental Geek Squad Protection Plan paid for itself the moment we talked to the Geek Squad about our problem Gaming Laptop! I would recommend them in a second!!!

Haven't had to take advantage of the extra warranty yet, but if I do it will be well worth the money

2 times my son has broken his laptop. The 1st time they gave me my money back right away to make a new purchse since the moel was not available for replacement. The 2nd time they replaced the screen no questions asked. It took about 3 weeks to get it back but it's the crazy holiday season and my kid needed the time without it to learn to take better care of his electronics. Overall, happy mom here!

I spilt hot green tea on my keyboard. So I called. Sent the unit back to Best Buy/ Geek Squad. Then I get an email at 11PM on a Friday night telling me: "The costs to repair your product have now reached your plan's maximum benefit amount. This means the terms of your plan have been fulfilled and your Geek Squad® Protection Plan coverage has ended." So, am I getting a replacement or a store credit? I don't know. It doesn't say. The warranty says it could be either/ or. So I guess I will spend my Saturday morning, or my Monday morning, calling and chatting my way up the information food chain so I can find out what is or is not going to happen. This type of notification without all the information is a total fail for Best Buy and Geek Squad. There is really no excuse for this. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that, (at least I hope), that I will get a replacement or store credit. But I have no idea which. Am I looking for a computer to be delivered? Do I have a store credit floating out there somewhere? And just when exactly will I find out this necessary information? This info should have been in the email I received at 11PM on a Friday. Stay tuned. Let's see how they handle this. Will I ever know? Will they even care. Jesus, take the wheel.

I always get this service on my electronics. It is gives me good peace of mind that I can get a replacement if it breaks. The replacement will often be a refurbished device, so the battery life can sometimes leave something to be desired. That said the devices are always in great shape and look and run like new. Ill take an old battery in a new computer over a cracked screen any day of the week, so this is well worth it.

Have a geek maintenance for my I pad and thank goodness I have not had to use it but I have had them in the past and were very welcoming

It's great added protection for any help or repairs needed.

I took my computer for review because it had a problem and they treated me super friendly and they took care of checking every detail to send it to the technical service thanks to the geek squad protection I didn't have and won't have to pay anything out of my pocket the computer had problems after less than 1 year it was worth every penny that cost the extra warranty

Fantastic coverage. Will continue to buy all my electronics and appliances from Best Buy.
