    Geek Squad Arrogance

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

    I was a few minutes late after the 800 number sent me to the wrong location. The tech was rude. He would not acknowledge my presence at the desk. I did not feel valued, I was upset, and took my business to an audio installer spending $530.00 that I had not planned to spend. One saving grace was an electronics rep that tried diligently to schedule an appointment. He is the only reason I have not opted to take my business to Ebay, Amazon and Crutchfield.

    Had to reschedule my appointment. Called and left messages, no return calls until the day before my appointment. And asked why no return calls. Only said it was 1 installer and was busy . Lame

    Installation Failure

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

    Mercedes-Benz should know; factory-installed sound systems cannot be changed. Attempting to change will cause a corruption of systems bundled through the factory installation which causes a failure and faults becoming rampant such as the SRS system, disruption of the heating and vent system. It caused a mess in my C240, necessitating >5 return trips to Best Buy. After printouts of >15 faults in these systems were provided to Best Buy, they refunded all except for the installation cost. Apparently I had to pay for their ineptness for not knowing it was impossible to even do such an installation in the 1st place.

    Geek Squad Cancelled my installation appointment

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

    You cancelled the appointment for the installation 5 minutes before the appointment, and change the date for one week after, without consulting me if I could or not. The poor service I received in my life, the admiration and the loyalty what did I have for the store now is nothing. I have been a customer since you opened and always my first choice for the purchase of all my equipment and accessories, TV, iPad, tablet and others, but now I think twice and look for other alternatives

    Thought it would be convenient to have Best Buy hang out TV. The installer cut a wire in the wall. I was left with no power and no tv on the wall. I am out $370 for the electrician that had to fix the cut wire and I still have holes in my wall that need to be repaired. I have spent 3 afternoons waiting for contractors and Best Buy is giving us the run around. I haven't even been refunded for the $250 I paid for installation that I didn't get. To say we are not happy, would be an understatement.

    Went in for my scheduled appointment. Was not able to get my radio installed. Another car had took longer than expected and I got bumped from that day. No other times were available for me to get the radio installed. I didn't even get a call from Best Buy telling me that I was not going to be seen that day. My time was in the middle of the day (2pm) and they couldn't fit me in before they closed for the day. I had taken the afternoon off of work to get the installation. Very dissatisfied with the service. Definitely will not be returning to Best Buy.

    The installation date was changed 3 times due to wrong install time and installer not available at appointment time. Returned items and went to another audio installer and purchased radio and accessories on Thursday and install on Friday. Made 2 trips to one best buy store and was on my way to the other when appointment cancelled.

    Installed a low-end radio in my son's car, replacing a broken factory-installed unit. Did not fully test the item before it left the store. No sound comes out of the passenger side rear speaker. Functioned prior to installation.

    Somewhat disappointed in the service because they installed the microphone under the radio rather than over the steering wheel. When doing BT phone calls, the voice does not pick up very well.

    The stereo was installed correctly, but they forgot to tighten back down my positive and negative battery cables after they installed the stereo.

    I was less than thrilled about the communication between the person setting up the appointment and the installers. Especially when it came to the length of time they told me it would take to install it.

    I would tell the sales associates to make sure you let the guest know this basic install will cost additional $140. If you want to be able to control the music from your steering wheel

    I got the installation for the car stereo that I bought my daughter for Christmas. They got her scheduled on short notice which was great, and they had it installed in about an hour. The problem was we had to return 3 times to get it done correctly. When returning on the 3rd try, installer was rude, like it was our fault there was something still wrong.

    Was not impressed. I preordered and prepaid for everything. The guy who helped me was extremely confused. He forgot to order my radio so when I went to have it installed, the managerhad to go get one from a different store. Whwn they finally did the install, they forgot that I had the controls on the steering wheel and said it would cost another $170.00 to have that done. I asked for everything up front prior to ordering and paying, so I think that they didn't complete the job correctly.

    Not very impressed with the installation guys, I brought in my two pick ups one that was going up for sale, and the one I had just purchased. Wanted the speaker and subs transferred from on pick up to the other and I had a brand new deck for the new pick up as well so all they had to do was take the subs out and put them and the new deck in the new pick up, but they put the wrong stereo deck in. They didn’t listen to anything I asked for.
