    They had a chair outside the bathroom for me to sit in while I waited for my friend. So convenient. 5 stars!

    I'm gonna try to sum up the value of this place. I'm an early 80s kid who spent my youth at Roxy…read morewheels roller skating rink and the RC car hobby shop in the same plaza. Century Electronics was located in the same plaza. My friends and I would go in the store and look at all the hifi stereo equipment. This was probably nearing the end of the HIFI stereo era which produced the best iconic stereo equipment of all time. Needless to say we were tolerated even tho we couldn't afford anything in the store. Fast forward 30 years. My collection of stereo equipment was all manufactured before I was born by a good decade. It's the type of equipment that you get fixed and will never ever see the bottom up a dumpster. The number of individuals still alive with the skill to service these units and restore them to their glory is dwindling every year that goes by. Century Electronics has not 1, but 2 old school techs that can fix anything from Marantz receivers, McIntosh tube amplifiers to speakers all made before the Vietnam war. They take pride in their work and preserve quality by refusing to use cheap Chinese capacitors and other inferior parts. This is the only place I will take my equipment. Don't expect to walk in for the ABT style showroom with 100k of product. The back room repair shop is where it's at here.

    I'm an audiophile with large speakers from the 1980s whose woofers were failing. They repaired the…read morespeakers at what I thought was a very reasonable price and were very prompt. I recommend Century Electronics in west Dundee.

    First, let me say that I have been a Best Buy customer for 4 decades now. I've always appreciated…read moretheir selection and service. Most recently I visited the South Elgin Best Buy for the first time post-pandemic and immediately was greeted, as they normally do, however, the young man caught me a little off guard by asking "What brings you to Best Buy today?". I didn't expect that level of service by a greeter but hey, I liked it. I told him I was shopping for a new A/V receiver as my old one bit the bullet. He effectively guided me to the right section of the store and we went on our merry way. I unfortunately was taken aback by the lack of product on display and it looked like they were using their retail space like a warehouse. cardboard boxes everywhere. I understand buying patterns have changed over the years and especially after the pandemic, but the place just looked a little disheveled. Kind of like me after a tough day at work. I'm still me but a bit worn and I'll need a little time to freshen up. The product that I wanted to take a closer look at was out of stock (shame on me, because I did a little research beforehand on their website and could have easily seen that this location didn't have any left). Disappointed, I started to walk away when two employees came up to us, asking if we needed help and one of them, Tristen, immediately took charge and looked up to see if they possibly had one. They didn't but he offered to place the order and have my purchase delivered the next day free of charge. Done! I know in this day and age that the next-day free delivery thing is commonplace, but that's not what struck me, it was the way in which we were treated. Quick, courteous, friendly, on-point, and effective. By the way, I just installed the a/v receiver which was delivered as promised.

    #1 - I have been trying to call the South Elgin, Illinois store for hours and keep getting…read moretransferred to a call centers out of the United States. I do NOT want to talk to a call center, yet alone one outside of the United States. My problem is with the store. Regarding Best Buy CUSTOMER SERVICE - if I could rate it a ZERO Stars I would. You are losing customers everyday due to your extremely poor customer service. All of the products you sell can easily be purchased elsewhere at stores who have wonderful customer service. Please don't be another U.S. store that disappears just because you thought it was a good idea to ship your customer service calls to other countries. It will be your loss, not ours, because your products will just be purchased elsewhere.
