    Geek Squad Incompetence

    Geek Squad did not install this product and I am still having problems. I lost import data due to the Geek Squad installation errors. Each time I called back for help, they made the problem worse. I know have a product that I paid for that doesn’t work properly due to the incompetence of Geek Squad.

    Great profession and personable service, on time, able to be a teach and listener. Ben's time and work results based on my punch list and how to fix it all was far above what I had tried to accomplish with online Chats.

    Terrible Product and Worse Customer Service

    Absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time, money, or mental stability on this product. I was promised my issue with my $2k laptop would be fixed, but it wasn't. On the third "do-over" I was told to just go into the store because they couldn't fix it. My issue was fixed in store within moments by logging into my one drive, but not until a TotalTech membership was purchased. Now, Best Buy refuses to refund my Software Setup and Support service, despite not actually doing anything.

    Service wasn't needed but it was very easy to do by myself. I must have fallen into a crack as far as service goes this time. I still enjoy purchasing products by Best Buy.
