The agent helped with the scammers trying to get me to call a phone number and locking my screen which was scary to me. His customer service was great. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because after the italic was totally different, sort of faded in some of the lettering, if that makes since.

Subject: Concerns Regarding Services and Installation Assistance for Mk.2 Video Encoder 4K60 Pro over Phone -> GS Destorying PC & Postponed from Employment throughout Process
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to address and document my experience regarding the services I received for my PC, specifically concerning the installation assistance for my Mk.2 Video Encoder 4K60 Pro and subsequent complications. Amongst the handful of transfers, no one was able to validate instillation question over phone.
1. *Initial Compatibility Concerns*
I initially sought assistance to confirm compatibility of the Mk.2 card with my MSI motherboard. I purchased the hardware from Best Buy, but due to an incorrect coverage plan and misunderstanding at a different location, I was unable to have someone verify compatibility in my home. Concerned about transporting my workstation PC (lower back pain and risk of damage) but despite willing to make arrangements in-store, I was referred to Geek Squad Remote Repair Services.
2. *First Remote Repair Visit*
The technician reassured me that the device would be compatible if installed in a different PCIe slot. I manually switched the hardware, and the device read correctly at 100%. The technician offered to perform a "tune-up" at no additional charge, claiming it would improve my PC's performance. However, after deleting root USB files from Device Manager and blocking certain functionalities, my PC began to experience severe issues, including:
- Black screens upon boot
- Worsened performance (flickering screens, apps closing randomly)
- Requiring hard resets to address stability issues
-Cold boot required to address stability issues
3. *Second Remote Repair Visit*
Attempting to address the new issues caused by the first visit, I reached out for a second Remote Repair session. Unfortunately, my concerns about the pre-existing problems were disregarded. Instead, the summary of the visit inaccurate driver updates, tune-ups, and edits to Windows Defender—none of which I had agreed to. Moreover, I was charged for services I did not ask for, despite voicing my disagreement.
4. *Customer Service and Escalation Attempts*
After two unsuccessful Remote Repair visits, I tried to escalate the issue through corporate feedback channels. Unfortunately, I did not receive a timely or reasonable resolution. False promises of follow-ups left me feeling frustrated and unsupported.
Was Tx to Remote Repair.. Disregarded 141.41 of unclear charges (Mk.2cov, 1st, 2nd). Offered +149.99 charge 'to fix' on top of unresolved issues.
Bellingham office connected me with a supervisor who attentively listened to my concerns per request. They were understanding of the stress caused by these services, helped ground my worries, and took steps to address the situation. Although this resolution came late in the process, I appreciated their professionalism and empathy.
5. *Summary and Request for Resolution*
- Services rendered during both Remote Repair visits exacerbated past initial Mk.2 question, leading to the near-total dysfunction of my workstation.
- Registry cleaners performed during the "tune-ups" are not supported by Windows (at best deleting needless registery enteries, which take negligible amounts of space, known to cause irreparable harm to operating system), further contributing to the issues.
- I request a refund for the services (question over phone versus 6 day - 1 month ordeal) that led to pre-nonexistant destruction PC functionality.
- I commend the Bellingham team for their efforts to address my concerns and ensure accurate documentation moving forward.
- A resonable solution for now a total of 5 days of employment postponed, discussed with attorney (small claims <$10,000 if needed, if unabe to restore PC to previous functionality or X amount of time exceeds equivalent earnings $10,000>).
While my overall experience was challenging, the Bellingham Geek Squad team helped restore confidence and initiated steps toward a resolution. Currently waiting in shop.
..I truly hope to see this issue fully resolved.

I was in a panic my husband let a scammer log into our computer. I froze our accounts and looked up geek squad. I was frantic to make sure our computer was cleaned. Oh my god, so easy, I was relaxing at home as I gave geek quad access to my computer. I like it so much that I’m going to have a regular service and I’m adding geek squad to my business computer. It really gives you confidence and peace of mind. The price was really reasonable. Thank you!

Geek Squad performed two remote tune-ups and although computer seemed smoother and faster, the Blue Screen shut-downs continued. Computer was taken to Collegeville store where issue was diagnosed as a "hardware" problem. New hard drive was installed and so far, everything seems fixed- no more Blue Screens. I'm very happy that I have a trouble-free computer back.

The On-Line Geek agent was very nice, courteous, helpful and willing to help, but unfortunately, was unable to complete the task. I ended up taking my unit into a local Best Buy outlet store. The issue was eventually solved.

I highly recommend this service to others. My laptop was running very slow and some programs wouldn't even run anymore. I also had to remove a lot of old personal data. I could've done the cleanup myself but the convenience of the service and the price for it was worth it. The Geek Support technician was able to dial remotely into my computer and do all the necessary cleanup and fine-tuning. It took a couple of hours but I since I did not have to be there the entire time, I was able to take care of other errands. The computer is once again usable and fast.

The support was super! Very professional, efficient and attentive to my problems. The fact that I could work with them online without going into the store was a huge convenience, plus their assistance was immediate -- no multi-hour or multi-day delays. I would reach out to them again should I experience any more issues with my computer.
