OUTSTANDING experience here yesterday purchasing a TV sound system to replace my 20 year old one that crapped-out. I'd purchased the TV (Sony Bravia 8) here a year and a half ago and love it. Austin was quick to see I needed assistance. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and professional. While I probably could've installed the new Bose system, I elected to have them deliver/install in a few days. I've ALWAYS had good experiences at this Best Buy, but this visit went particularly smooth thanks to Austin's help! Thank You Austin read more

I had a problem with a just purchased software, Microsoft Home, that was installed via ONLINE with Best Buys Geek Squad. After the lady installed it on line, it did not fix my Outlook Comcast email, she said, wait 1 hour. Well it never worked, so I took my PC to Best Buy in Carson City, worked with Jake Kemp, and he fixed it and made my PC work just like new. Jake was professional, friendly and showed what Best Buy customer support is all about. I had to purchase the yearly software Micro 365, and was told to call the Geek Squad to get a refund on the Micro Home at $179. I did and got the refund. Best Buy does stand behind their promise, thanks Jake, great job. Yours. Jesse Asis. read more

This store has the worst customer service! I bought a brand new iPhone Air which has a hardware issue. We already brought it to the store once and the Geek Squad guys were awesome and actually got the phone to turn back on, however, I lost everything. For some reason, nothing was backing up to the cloud and it had to be factory reset. Well, the phone started doing the same exact thing it did before bringing it to the Geek Squad. We have been trying to call the store for multiple days, however it is completely impossible! We don't live in Carson City so it is a long drive for us to go there. We finally got through to somebody in India, who told us they don't have a way to connect us to a person at the local store. Then, we tried to schedule an appointment online and it says there are no upcoming appointments available. So we are trying to figure out when we can drive to Carson one day after work and hopefully get to talk to a real person. What a joke. I will never buy anything from Best Buy ever again! read more

I called the store in Carson City with a few questions about a product I was considering. The person who answered the phone could not speak English and was absolutely useless to help me. Calling the store was a complete waste of time. read more

Whoever schedules service for appliances is completely incompetent. Tried to get my refrigerator repaired paid $125 just to get someone out to see what was wrong, 2 weeks later returned and installed and unnecessary part, refrigerator still didn't work 6 weeks later still waiting was scheduled 3 different times and all 3 were cancelled by Best Buy and rescheduled 2 weeks later each time. NEVER GOT THEM TO FIX THE REFRIGERATOR!! Called a local company to repair it came the day o called and then returned the next day and repaired it. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! read more

I bought a laptop - I had done some research and was all set to buy a chromebook that was on sale, but the sales guy explained that I would have trouble with my excel spreadsheets, and steered me to an windows laptop that had the same speed, momory etc., but was $50 cheaper. No pressure on the sale. read more

I brouib my Samsung phone that I dropped for the last time. 2/3 of the screen was unusable. I bought a new one but tranfering my 1,000 plus contacts and 15,000 texts was now going to happen without ability to control my old phone. The kid at the store was tenacious in solving the problem. He came up with adapting a mouse to my phone and he knew were to click the screen with it being blank. It took him about 45 minutes to get my info to start transfering. I was so happy with the service I tipped him $100. read more

First time shopping at this location. It's located in a nice and bright strip mall. I was set on picking up a Samsung sound bar and of course, there are so many brands on the market.. that sound amazing. We had Oliver the sales clerk explain the different systems, and finally decided on the Sonos.. Sonos had crisp, sounds.. and very sleek. However, after a few hours of trying to connect last night.. it would not plus I didn't like having a remote.. Time for a trip back to to exchange for the Bose 300. read more

See all

We'll.. now you can call the local number and spend over an hour on the phone as your phone call has been shipped over seas to a person that you can hardly understand and then another person you can hardly understand takes over and you can get scheduled for geek squad visit in a month. Isn't that special? read more

I bought a 50 inch TCL firetv in March 2025 it stopped working may 1st 2025 and best buy says call the manufacture of tv! I thought best buy would replace not true!! You have to make appointment to repair and then if they can not replace??? Never buy from worst buy again!!! Got my MONEY up front and crap service! read more

My wife and I have had Best Buy In Home Insurance fojr the past 3 years. I have been trying for the past 6 weeks to get them to come out and fix my computer(which I bought from Best Buy 18 months ago). So far counting this morning they have now cancelled both our in home appointments to fix my computer but also to install a brand new computer my wife just bought. I will never ever reccommend the Geek Squad for iI home service. Do not buy there Geek Sqd In home Insurance. It is a complete waste of money. The disrepsect they show you is unbelievable. read more

What a shame, former great company a pitiful shadow of what it once was. Spent $2K on a laptop and warranty, computer broke, Geek Squad lied about where it went to get fixed and the only customer service "agent" was straight outa New Deli. Couldn't understand a word. Store manager fails to return calls for help. A putrid display of business practices, they do not care about the people that keep their doors open. I hope they go the way of Radio Shack. read more

went in to buy a Apple Watch waiting around no one helped me . only one person said where the the watches where located. waited no help! told the person on the way out I don't know who is worse Lowe's Home Depot or you guys! read more

I have bought multiple items, from appliances to small knick knacks. I got a TV as a gift to hang in my man cave. I went to hang up last night, and the tv has lines across and wouldn't turn on. After I went to them to exchange said he couldn't do it. He looked at my account and not only saw the customer I was, but went as far as to say it is ok if you cancel your membership with us, there is nothing I can do as it looks like "i" did the damage. Are you kidding me? I bought a 4,000 tv from their magnolia center didn't even bat an eyelash or ever return it, and now when I go to exchange a 300 tv they freak out. Worst place in town to do any business. I'd rather give my business elsewhere as it was stated that my business wasn't wanted or needed. read more

Best Buy did a fantastic job helping me traverse the muddy waters of premium sound. I walked in with limited knowledge of what I wanted/needed. I started looking at speakers and such trying to figure out what works best. I wasn't sure so I asked for help. I was approached by a lovely young woman that asked if I needed help. I replied that I needed an expert in premium audio. She replied that Bob was busy but their store manager is an expert on magnolia home theater and will assist me in a few minutes. I browsed for a few and met up with the store manager who demoed the system and speakers I was interested in along with answering any additional questions I had. I decided to move forward with a speaker package and power conditioner. Now the issue was finding what's in stock and what needs to be ordered. The young lady that initially helped me solved that issue for me and I was able to grab what they had in stock, pick up what I needed at a neighboring store and only a couple items had to be ordered for pick up next week. I was really happy with the top notch service and attention I received. Thank you, Best Buy team Carson Valley. read more

Another Best Buy Failure story. This is the 4th printer these morons have installed in a year. The idiot from the geek squad doesn't even test it. Just says it's hooked up to my phone and wireless. Says I don't need the instruction book. Leaves and an hour later it won't work. I try calling the geek squad guy back and all I get is a recording. No response. Today I call some idiot in India who scheduled me another geek squad appointment in another week. Then the morons charge me $80 to fix what they screwed up. Another BEST BUY FAILURE story. read more

Employee in mobile refused to get out of his chair. I asked about an Apple Watch screen protector. Pointed to a different department instead of helping. The screen protector was $15 and the same lazy dude told me it was $8 to install a screen protector. You're crazy if you think I am going to pay half of what the protector is worth for you to put it on. read more

Absolutely love the service here. They take care of me with friendly service and make me feel confident with my purchase. No receipt required if you register...bonus! read more

This business is not doing its best during covid. Don't come here if you are in need of service with any expectation of speed. 8 hours to repair and iPhone screen, 10 day turn around for anything else geek squad related. If your coming to buy stuff forget it. Shelves are empty and selection is poor. Go somewhere else. read more

It was both the best of times, and the worst of times, and I keep rooting for folks to be able to compete with Amazon, and today Best Buy was both good and bad. The good part was the way that they handled a return. I walked in, showed them my receipt, explained why I wanted my money back, and they returned my cash with no problem or hassle. The bad part was over in the Magnolia section. I'm looking for answers on a home theater system, and there is nobody to find. I go to the next section, the one with all the TV's and the more approachable (less expensive) home theater systems, sound bars and such, and I find somebody. She takes me back to the Magnolia section to get an answer, and there is still no help. So, I leave the store, satisfied that my return wasn't hassled and frustrated that I didn't get answers on home theaters. The real good part was that I was in a store attempting to talk to people, not buying via Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime is great, but they need competition. Best Buy just needs to figure out how to compete consistently. read more

A few weeks ago I made an appointment with The Geek Squad inside of Best Buy. My iPhone needed a new battery, and I wanted to make sure I got a new battery before Apple was no longer to get them from China amid the Coronavirus epidemic there. My appointment was for 1:30 in the afternoon, and I arrived 5 minutes early. I was given no time estimate when I made the appointment. The person who checked me in started running diagnostics on my phone. He told me that he could do no work on the phone until the diagnostics were done. Apparently he connected the phone to his computer with blue tooth, as he moved back and forth between the two devices. Meanwhile, the female employee came over to him at least 3 times to ask questions and get his help. On one of these interruptions his computer crashed, and he had to move to another one and start the process of running my phone's diagnostics over again. This process took over 40 minutes, and had to happen BEFORE he even charged me for the battery! Once he charged me, he started to take the phone in the back and told me the tech was going to work on it (I thought HE was the tech!) I asked how long it should take, he told me 1 1/2 hours, but I could come back around 3:30, as it might be ready then. Carson City is 35 minutes from my house, one way. While the time was longer than I wanted, I had some errands I could run to kill time. I showed back up at the store at a little after 4:00, giving them an extra 30 minutes from the estimated time. The person I had dealt with was no longer there. I told the new person I was there to get my phone, and he said it would be at least another 1/2 hour! I said I had been told 3:30, and that I had given them an extra 1/2 hour on top of that. He said, "well, the person who told you that is new and he doesn't know what he is talking about." (way to throw your coworker under the bus dude!) I walked around the store looking at things for another 1/2 hour, went over to the desk, and was told it would be another 1/2 hour. So at this point I was a little miffed. I asked for the store manager. I talked to the store manager who basically shined me on with, "I will let the Geek Squad manager know they should give time frames on the phone when you make an appointment." Really, if I had know it would have been that long, I would have simply left my phone and picked it up the next day. This was extremely poor customer service on their part. The upshot of the review is - if you use the in store Geek Squad, just leave your item until the next day, unless you want to kill hours in Carson City. read more

This is about their warranty policy and repair service,no reflection of the store or their employees.Purchased a gaming laptop last Jan, and I also purchased $200 total protection policy to go w it. Laptop breaks,it won't connect to internet,I take it in,they send it to their repair center in Kentucky and I get it a few weeks later,no charge,yea! also not fixed! They updated,nothing else,I kept calling 1800 geek squad and couldn't get a person on the phone who knew anything ,lots of sorries and silence ,worst call center ever.Today I take laptop in person to local store and they were all nice guys,and helpful. I'm told my option now is buy the part and pay them to fix it, or buy another year warranty at $200 A YEAR,SEEING HOW THE LAST ONE WAS COMPLETELY USELESS AND A COMPLETE RIP OFF, I'M LOST AT WHAT TO DO!Except go to Costco from now on and not deal with this. Also,I keep asking for corporate numbers for complaints and keep getting the same people,the silent ones who are no help at all. I've never returned any products ,I've never been rude or mean,it's just wrong .They sold me a product and said the total coverage covers everything. It does not, don't fall for it! And no guarantee they'll actually fix it read more

On hot pursuit for a new phone and the folks at Best Buy know their stuff. They have all of the cool gadgets to help with using unlocked phones. Got some help with cutting down a SIM card to stuff it in a Google Nexus phone (unlocked). The guys who work at Best Buy are very friendly. They are smart and helpful. Love their toys at Best Buy. The store in Carson City seems smaller but still the same great service. Good to have these larger chain stores to boost our economy in Northern Nevada! read more

Great place and great employees, bothing bad from this place idk why this place has low rate

Sean, a young man at Carson City Best Buy saved me much grief late October 2020. My phone had updated itself and I could no longer find anything even recognizable! On my own I could not remove whatever it was that had possessed my phone! Sean sat with me and restored my phone to exactly as it had been. Thank you Sean So sorry you can't accept tips read more

Worst run Best Buy ever. Every time I call it's on hold for 20+ minutes. Booked a reservation to have phone worked on. Arrived on time & was told tech is not in on Wednesday. They are extremely rude. I drove 40 miles from Lake Tahoe, only to deal with a bunch of incompetents. Stay away from this extremely circus act. read more

Note to fellow Yelpers: I read the horrible reviews for this store and have only ever had great experiences here with the products and employee's. PLEASE do not use Yelp as your "haters platform", be consistent in reviewing all businesses good and bad. Thank you: ) OKAY. So I went in to get a fire to usb converter and a wifi system. I purchased the Lynksys Wifi Home with 3 nodes. The employee that helped me was named Zack. HE WAS PHENOMENAL! Was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Instead of an hour long purchase I was in and out of there in 30 minutes. Awesome! Zack, thanks again for all your wonderful insight and recommendations, my wifi is now reachable in Zephyr Cove!!!! This system is OUTSTANDING! I can now go to my friends house down the road and use my own wifi! ;o Thanks again, great service, employee's and store. Alway's someone there to help you. Keep it going guys/gals! read more

Great customer service!! Nathan in the computer department was very knowledgeable and friendly. Also, a shout out to his manager who came to authorize the price match, super friendly as well. Both employees made sure I didn't have to wait long. read more

My son and I accompanied Gayle and her mother into Best Buy to buy a new laptop computer. Gayle and I actually have had similar conversations with our respective parents about what they need, using a service that helps set them up at home, the redundancy of aol.com (which remains in both households), and the long time it took to convince them to ditch dial-up service. Of course, we're also talking about computer usage that doesn't go much beyond email and visiting specific web sites. And the idea of wireless in the house just brings a blank stare. This particular Best Buy is small, so if you're looking for an iMac, forget it and drive up to Reno if you want it from Best Buy. For the matter at hand, I thought that the guy who helped Gayle and her Mom through the process was friendly, helpful, and not too pushy on selling the extras. They found a nice Toshiba laptop at a good price, that was ready to go when they got it home. Our store stay was also short enough to allow my son and me to look around, but not stand around bored for too long. Gayle and I also got a few good tips on various shortcut options for our drive back to the Bay Area. Of course, with a good snow storm, all bets are off. read more

This is the third time that I have been to this particular "Best Buy" store, and it is the same story each time..... NOBODY WILL HELP YOU IN THIS STORE!!! I stood there for 10 minutes trying to flag a sales person to get the item that I wanted that happened to be in a locked display case. There is proximity rule in retail, you acknowledge a customer when they are roughly 10 feet away from them. The employees of this store must of forgotten this rule. But good news, I went to my local AT&T (next to this particular Best Buy) a purchased the same item and was in-and-out in 5 minutes. Way to go Best Buy's! read more

We made an appointment to have our phone batteries replaced. When we arrived at the appointment we were informed that the person who does this was not working. Would have been nice to receive a call letting us know prior to coming down from Tahoe. Was planning to buy other Apple products today-- I'll go straight to Apple now. read more

My husband and I just moved to the Dayton area and we looking for a TV for our new home. We walked into this store and we're immediately greeted by someone at the front. Super nice. So we went to the TV department and met Nate. What a great sales associate!! He offered us many choices and educated us on the products. Once we made our decisions, he got us all cashed out. Nice person and smart! Nate should get a raise! Thank you, again, Nate!! read more

I just purchased a new refrigerator @Best Buy and the two young men who delivered it were courteous, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Kudos to Best Buy for hiring very capable employees! Thanks Adam and Daniel! read more

Went into this Best Buy, the salesmen Nathen Gardezi was finishing up with another customer and came to help me right away. Young clean cut, unlike most after the pandemic. Eager to help me, just like before the dark times of this fake pandemic. Very courteous, helpful and seemed to want to please me. Did not know all my questions, but when asked a question he did not know he told me that he did not know and got my answer. Far above this custom expectations, and that hard to do. I'm not easily pleased and expect the best when paying out my hard Earned money, not some government Charity. Thank you BEST BUY, & Nathen. read more

I was shopping for Car Stereo yesterday. Evan an associate of this store helped me in finding the best stereo with a great bargain that meets all the functionality I required. We hit a roadblock of our order because there were some missing parts that were not available in Best Buy to successfully install the stereo in my truck. He found a way to work-around the issue, I thought that was a 5 star customer service. Evan made sure I have a confirmed installation appointment. He made great recommendation, that I end up buying a dash-cam which was not part of my shopping plan that day. I look forward to the installation of the car stereo and dash-cam. I will write a separate review about the installation when it happens. read more

Best Buy is at the point of no return will survivability of the company. National person answer the phones with no way to get you to speak to the local store. I have a return/replacement issue under warranty and I cannot get anyone to speak to locally to schedule. Just a place to leave a message ... and 8 hours later, no return call. Additionally I have 2 purchases that can be scheduled with the replacement ... but this company will lose because I need this done in a timely manner for safety reasons. I would sell your stock in this company because it will soon become another grave stone in the dying customer service industry. Too bad, because I really appreciated the company BEST BUY used to be. It's not this location's fault, it's the business model and the lack of effect customer services. read more

I preordered a much anticipated release and they thought it would be ok to deliver it 3 days after the release. Will never buy anything from them again. read more

3.5 It was one of those shopping experiences where one minute there seemed to be 87 employees standing around doing nothing, and the next minute you needed to ask a question, there wasn't anyone around. There are always good bargains to be found if you are patient and keep an eye out for sales, but run in quick or buy online before supplies run out. I ended up having to google reviews online while I WAS AT THE STORE since I couldn't find anyone with enough knowledge to help. read more

Was at this Best Buy location on 11/22/2022. Went into store with the intention to upgrade my cellphone at their site. Asked for help and everyone ignored us and even had a girl stand at the register and say nothing stead and walk away. After 45 minutes of waiting I went to the front and asked for help, girl said I can check if we have phones but we can't do anything 1 hour before we close. Witch they made me wait to tel me that. Horrible service and staff is by far the worst I have ever seen, I mean in my life. read more
