    Showed up for scheduled installation appointment, which I received a text and email confirming 30 minutes prior to appointment, only to be told the installer wasn't in today. No cancellation messages, notifications, etc. Should have went with my gut and bought this somewhere else!!!

    States work with certain vehicles and need a certain part but don't work and needed additional parts to even attempt installation. Lost five hours plus drive time to find out it would work in the vehicle.

    I was set up for an appointment online by the Geek Squad. They messed up and didn’t schedule the correct amount of time for the install. I was then pushed back another month and was told in a nutshell....SORRY! It wasn’t the installers fault and he truly showed empathy for the fact he had to schedule me on 1/24. After calling the Geek Squad several times, it basically appeared to be a waste of my time. My takeaway from this experience is that I should have hit a mom and pop installer and not get this equipment via Best Buy. They think it’s in the spirit of customer service to have only one installer work in a two bay garage and have month long waits to install things you purchased.

    I have yet to get installation as it won’t be until February 7th on purchase made Black Friday for myself. I had to contact help as the addl items needed for the installation that were to be free did not get on receipt. Installer says I need to go to store twice.once to get the t harness ball bearing tilt wiring switch and the wiring harness? Over an hour and a half drive why can’t they be shipped to me as they are supposed to be free (I printed out the screen and explained all of this on chat same day as it didn’t reflect on the receipt for purchase). Lot of hassle and long time to wait

    Had an appointment for like a month out, on the day of the install they called and asked if I had 2 keys, I said I didnt. So they tell me they can't put it in because I have to have 2 keys, I call that a lie, should not have to have 2 keys for this to work. I think they just didn't want to install it. Bunch of scammers.

    Sioux Falls, SD Best Buy installed this remote starter in my boyfriends vehicle and did a rush job and now he's having issues when starting his car. We had an appt set and all and the guy was too worried about his next appt so we already knew he wasn't going to do his best. Whenever the vehicle starts up the alarms goes off and the vehicle won't move and we can't get the hood open. We took it into the Maplewood, MN store and they confirmed that it was poorly done and advised we take it into Nissan to get it fix and they would pay us after we paid out of pocket which is dumb when it's not even our fault dude did a terrible job.
