    He’s very good at installing car stereos but he forgot to give me all my accessories back that were not compatible with the stereo that I had installed and I had to go back and pick up my stuff at a later date and he didn’t even call me to tell me that my stuff was there I had to go there and get a manager to bring my stuff to me

    Didn’t even install my new car stereo

    The agent wasn’t very nice. I waited in the store for almost an hour and a half and she finally called saying that she couldn’t even take my dash apart to get the old stereo out of the car. She recommended that I find another place to install it or to return the stereo. I ended up going home upset and I decided to try to install the new stereo myself. I took it fully apart and removed the stereo in about 30 seconds and it took only removing ONE bolt. I fully replaced the stereo in less than an hour (less time than the agent took to realize that she couldn’t do it herself). It was a really easy job that I thought would be convenient to have someone else do for me while I ran some errands but apparently, it wasn’t. She made a few other little mistakes as well like having me buy a part that I already had, then having me return it after finding out that I already purchased it. I would not recommend service here at all.

    Our radio install was supposed to be an upgrade, I regret spending the money. Hands free phone use is now not possible due to nobody being able to hear me. Steering wheel controls don't work. I wasn't told until after picking up the vehicle that it was an additional part to have the steering wheel controls hooked up. The USB plug in my car no longer works, I now have to use a cord that come out from under the dash and lays freely wherever it lands.

    The quality of the install was excellent but the locked room used for the install of my new Audio system and Backup camera was interrupted regularly by sales staff needing access to the room. There has to be a Electronic device (IE: keypad access outside) to avoid excess interruption of the install procedure by the very skilled technician. Hey, it's Best Buy! They should be able to do this better with technology, right?

    Installer did not want to run the camera wire

    When I purchased the stereo and scheduled the install with Best Buy I already had a rear camera and the installer told me that I needed a new wire and I could purchase it online and bring it in on the install date and he would replace it. I asked as he was checking me out are you sure this is all I need and everything will be working correctly, he indicated that everything will be good to go. When I showed up for the install it took two hours over the time I was quoted and when I showed up to pick up the vehicle the installer told me that had to pay $100.00 extra to run the camera wire and it would be another hour and a half to install. The manager didn't want to deal with me and had me speak directly with the installer who said there was nothing he could do but slightly discount the wire install. I purchase a lot of items from Best Buy and I expected a little loyalty appreciation but I got nothing. I brought my car in at noon and left at 7:30. Very disappointed with the bait and switch service that I received.

    I took my son’s laptop and I was told I had to take it to Apple. If they had checked it they would realize that the laptop was fine but the charger was defected. The similar thing happened with my iPad where I was told that they mouse could not be replaced but I took it somewhere else and they were able to fix it.

    Had to go three times before they finally completed my installation. First, parts were delayed and I received no call or email. Second time, they told my it was the wrong appointment time even though I had an email confirming the appointment and then the parts were broken and I sat around waiting for two hours before they bothered to let me know it was broken. Finally the third time it was installed

    Great product, Bad installation job

    I was excited to get the radio installed in my car and was assured it would be quick, which it was, but the job seemed rushed. The wire that attaches to any phone was running through my glove department so when I closed the glove department door, the wire will get squished. Eventually, the wire would just stop working, so to avoid this I went back a few days later to get that fixed and he assured me that the wire would be fine but I assumed he just did not want to do the work. Eventually after expressing more concern about the wire, he finally agreed to relocate the wire, WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 INCHES AWAY FROM THE GLOVE DEPARTMENT. Why couldn't he just do that in the first place? Anyway, When getting an installation, avoid the valley stream store.

    Unavailable Stereo Installation

    Ordered the $99 stereo installation online and received the email with the code and instructions how to proceed to making an appointment. When Followed the instructions online, the message pops up saying that the selected store is booked more than two weeks out and try other stores. I tried all three Best Buy locations in my area and they were all booked more than two weeks out. It instructed me to call the store and make arrangements to be scheduled. The next available appointment was about five weeks out and the lady on the phone said that the installation usually runs about $250-$300 after parts are included. I left my phone number for somebody in the Geek Squad to call me back and after a week, nobody had called back. My Wife made a phone call asking about scheduling and they said they would have somebody from the Geek Squad call back and again, nobody called her back either. Cancelled the order and was refunded my money. The website should have some indication of how soon the installation could be performed before a buyer purchases it online.

    2 hour install took 4 hours because Justin was not able to close up my dash. At the 4 hour mark Jacob had to come finish the job because a line was forming. Install was done correctly except Justin closed an interior vent on my dash while completing the install. No air flow on interior droverside vent. Both Justin & manager Jacob insisted my statement that the vent had been blocked was incorrect. Justin made this statement over the phone. I went back to the store and Jacob insisted there was no interior vent to close and that he had worked on thousands of Tundras. I did not waste my time returning, if that is thier approach after payment then their work is no longer trustworthy. Had vent fixed at Toyota.
