Geek Squad after computer fix.
EJ C.

The Geek Squad here is awesome. Super chill and always willing to do what is needed for their customers. Had a difficult situation with a bad power supply that required extra fixes afterwards. Recommend the Best Buy Total Membership 100%.

I give the manager and representative 5 stars; they both made my experience easy and simple. I had purchased a Rexing dash cam in 2022. Yes, I did purchase the Squad yearly protection plan as well. The manager gave store credit for my old Rexing dash cam. As of last week, my dash cam started to glitch; it would turn on and reboot itself over and over. It just would not stay on. The representative, Cheryl or Charlie's (woman), I can't remember her name exactly. She took her time to help me find the right dash cam. Thank you both for your concern and helping replace my dash cam for a newer version.

I was having issues with my PlayStation and I needed a cable that was super hard to get. That took me to this Best Buy and it was an odd experience since I have not been in a electronics store in...I don't even remember how long. The staff was super helpful and they found the cable I needed through some teamwork and sleuthing. It was a micro usb cable that charged and synced. Thank you! Problem solved.

Worst place to shop for electronics don't buy if I'm here unless you're ready to be taken advantage of

this place needs to go out of business soon. I bought this less than 30 days ago and is no longer working. It is having mechanical problem. I brought it back asking for either return or exchange. I was told since I am not a member they will not do either I'm stuck with it now I have been a rewards member for over 20 years however they said no that doesn't count you have to be a member which you pay for. So do yourself a favor which is what I should have done is to buy from Amazon and hoping that companies like this will go out of business because they had no value they just take valuable space

$329.59 then plus tax. Solution is $11.99 then plus tax. Gus Gus had to inspect the purchase.

I do most of my browsing online before coming to Best Buy. That way when I get there, I am not confused or deterred by their many other options available to tailor to my needs/wants. I've rented a room almost my entire adult life (minus the times I've lived w/ boyfriends); even when I lived w/ family, I was renting the one room only. Can you imagine having 3 people in a room? That was life for what seemed like a very long time. I was able to lift myself up through hard-work. seized every opportunity I can to lift myself up from the ground. I rented a one-bedroom apartment in Willow Glen. We lived there for a little over 2 years before upgrading to 5 bedroom house right across from Communications Hill. A bigger place means more to clean. It didn't take me long to clean my apartment but after living here, I copied my parents and invested in a Bissell. The area to cover (sweep/mop) plus the fur from my cats.. the shoe streaks, the dirt from the shoes, etc.. the only carpeted area is the stairs but we have tile and wood overall. Best Buy's website / stocking level is accurate, the description, ordering process, and ready time is also accurate. The online pickup is separate than their regular lines to checkout - I was lucky that I wasn't behind anyone. The gentleman that rung us up was nice and found my order swiftly. From cameras to home security systems to home/kitchen appliances, DVDs, home/car entertainment systems, gaming consoles and games, computer, printers.. candy/sodas.. what don't they have?

I forget that we can rate non-food places on Yelp. This Best Buy will be my first. I had purchased an expensive gaming laptop for my sibling (like $600) and It had software problems with it. I know nothing about computers or software stuff. I had called customer service to schedule an appointment at this location and my experience here was so amazingly helpful that I needed to review this place. I checked into Geek Squad and right away someone came to assess my situation. The kind lady name was Candice and she was absolutely a gem! Even with my word vomit of me trying to explain what's the problem, she knew exactly what to do. She walked me through every step of the way along with humorous side conversations. I loved that this customer service interaction didn't give me any annoyed attitude or eye rolls when I asked questions because I'm dumb with technology lol Candice answered professionally without sounding sarcastic! I truly appreciate that. Living in the Bay Area lol and not knowing basic software stuff, you tend to run into people who are so judgmental. I am a health science major LOL leave me alone! ANYWAY, not only did Candice and her team FIX the laptop but she also gave me the option to replace it with an entire new one so I could start over! Ever since I was a child, I saw the infamous Geek Squad vans driving around but I never experienced them before because when technology breaks I am frustrated and just buy a new one lol but I can't just whip out $600 lol so I had to check in with the Geek Squad and I am so happy I did. I will always come here for my computer troubles. I spent about 20-30 minutes here! I highly recommend this place!

the one i wanted now i have to look all over at another store

A couple of places…read moreI call had either no idea what I was talking about or said "we don't have anything like that". What I needed was an electronics store. I did a Google search and came up with Anchor. They are located fairly close to me so I gave them a call. They said they had it. I went over to a store that for the past ten years that I'd lived in this area had no idea existed. I opened the door and it was just like taking a step back in time. The place itself is not very big but everything is organized and easily accessible. I went over to the counter and explained what I was looking for. They showed me where the bulbs were plus a bucket of miscellaneous ones that hadn't made it to the shelf yet. I found what I needed and paid them. I watched as they hand wrote my receipt. This place is totally old school and they're likely the last ones around like this. The only negative is that they aren't open on weekends. If you're a hobbyist and need electronic components that no one else has give these guys a visit.

Nowadays it is virtually impossible to find electronic components without ordering online.

The person…read moretold me very confidently that it was the issue of the fan, and the only thing needed was to replace it. Also, they promised a date when the fan would be available, and I believed it. However, when the day came, they said they would need another few days. Using the computer was very important to me, so I got annoyed and switched to another place. At the new place, I was told the issue with my computer was because of a completely different reason, and they helped me repair it smoothly. Glad that the delay helped me avoid further loss with this unreliable KY electronics. Unfortunately, although the diagnosis result was a complete error. I was not refunded for the diagnosis fee. Edit: The business owner replied saying that my job was on May 29, 2024, which is completely false. I wasn't even at the Bay Area during that time. Either he intentionally mixed me up with someone else or simply made up the story. Apparently, I have no point of making up a negative review if being satisfied as the customer, but the business owner has full motivation to respond to negative reviews by making up stories when he cannot reasonably dispute it, and it seems he has been doing it for many other reviews as well.

This place is a diamond in the rough. Don't let the industrial neighborhood sway you away! I bought…read morean item (Sound BlasterX Katana) from them via e-bay and did local pickup. It turns out they're an electronics warehouse that are liquidators for Amazon, Walmart, etc. They sell tons of hardware that are new / used / refurb at amazing prices. Tai showed me around the warehouse which he said is generally closed to the public (and they do have public openings occasionally), which was just full of name-brand electronics (Apple, Logitech, etc), and a lot of their stuff can be up to 75% off. I was directed to a pallet of the items to pick out whatever I felt looked "best". He offered to open the item in front of me so I can inspect the contents (it looked open box but it was actually completely new!) and mentioned that there is a 30 day return policy if I should have any issues. I really encourage you to come by when they do have openings as I saw some awesome stuff like laptops, iPads, graphics cards, fully built computers, etc for sale.

Fantastic place to get great deals. I picked up XM5 headphones and Sony Linkbuds at almost a 70%…read morediscount. Thai, the owner, is so friendly and helped me with all my questions and assisted in what I was looking for. Employees are genuine and if something doesn't work, they honor a refund.

Electronics and hobby stores are becoming more and more rare. It's unfair to compare with the days…read moreof Radio Shack, Circuit City or even Fry's because they just don't exist, and their demise has been for reasons most shoppers can figure out - especially whose who review places like Jameco and then say "I'll just go to Amazon next time." One less sale to a brick and mortar store. One less interaction with a human who can answer a question IRL and IRT. One missed opportunity to see and touch product for yourself. Sure you might get a sour reply. Or an agent who doesn't know a picofarad from a PC board. You might also get damaged deliveries from Amazon. Sure the return process is relatively painless, but the time spent is less productive than hammering out whatever issue it is with the store. I bought two Arduino kits from Amazon. One was damaged and couldn't be used so I searched for replacements and looked at Jameco. Their site yielded pages of replacements and alternatives. Between the selection and the descriptions, I was able to what I was looking for a a few things I didn't know I needed. Kind of like browsing at Fry's. Yes, they have minimum quantity purchases for many items. Yes, your browsing is going to be mostly online. When I went to pick up my items, the display area was basically the lobby. The person at the desk could answer some questions and "a guy in the back" could provide more detail. This is what it takes to maintain a physical retail presence for many specialty shops these days. I learned of Anchor from someone else, and I'll visit that store one day. But it's twice as far from me as Jameco, and Jameco delivered what I needed.

The storefront is well-made and I had no issues with the purchasing process. However, they waited…read moremultiple days to ship out my order, and now it will not arrive on time. Do not rely on the online store if you need something fast.
