I get it ur understaffed and it's the holidays but you can still acknowledge me so I know I'm not waiting around for nothing? Finally get someone to help me and the guy looks at my computer for all of 2 seconds, says it's gonna be $800 and two weeks to get it back. There was no way he knew the model, year, size etc; based on looking at it for that long. He told me to just look at getting a new computer. While I was waiting around for 30 minutes I ended up booking an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar- they actually looked at my computer, quoted me $400 and it was fixed within 24 hours. My experience with this Best Buy has never been good in all honesty. I get it customer service sucks blah blah Best Buy do a better job of training ur employees and taking care of their needs so they can actually help ur customers cuz revamping the store is not enough. U don't care about ur employees so they don't care about us. DO BETTER! Also shout out to some old lady named Gloria cus she was being a Karen on my behalf and I thank her for that.

My settings literally say my display is unknown and my battery needs servicing because these guys are thieves. three other customers came in the store with the same issue after wizkid "fixed" their devices. Now my phone just powers down whenever it wants unless it's plugged in. constantly overheats even when not in use. The BBB and attorney generals office will love this information. Thanks, guys!

I strongly encourage you to go someplace else. My girlfriend brought her phone to this shop because the charging port needed to be replaced. During the repair, the older man said that he was having trouble reattaching the antenna and called his younger co-worker to do the repair. Immediately after the phone was returned, it had dramatically worse reception for text messages, wireless data, and phone calls. When we looked up these issues, it was clearly an issue with the antenna --the same component the older man was having trouble reattaching. The antenna is located directly against the charging port, and has to be detached when replacing the charging port. The obvious conclusion was that they either failed to properly re-attach the antenna or damaged it. When we brought the phone back for them to try reattaching the antenna, they couldn't do it. They said they would order a new antenna and call us when it was ready. They never contacted us about it; after 2 weeks of contacting them they told us to bring the phone back. (I am not sure if they even installed a new antenna; I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they did.) Once again, they weren't able to fix the phone. At this point, we realized there was nothing they could do, and asked for a refund. What resulted was a very frustrating text message conversation in which they initially refused to refund us, then offered to refund only the $45 cost of the initial repair (i.e. ignoring the fact they irreparably damaged a $350 phone), then suggested that we try to sell/return it without informing the recipient that the phone had an antenna issue (!!! see attached image). I informed them that they were not honoring their terms and we would file a consumer protection complaint if they didn't give us a refund. They offered us $100, claiming that the parts/labor had been expensive, and we took it. This whole process took 6 weeks. My girlfriend needed to buy a new phone because she absolutely needed wireless service for her job. But I brought the phone to another shop, and they took a look at he phone for free. Their diagnostics said there was something wrong with the antenna, but didn't know exactly what. They said that if they saw the phone in this state, they would have recommended that we replace the phone because any repair would end up being more costly.

    I was having major issues with my laptop a few months ago. A friend of mine recommended this local…read moreshop in Watervliet. I live downstate, but spend a lot of time in the Albany area visiting family and friends, so I figured I would stop in and check it out. Going into the shop, it was a refreshing change from the big box stores I'm used to dealing with. It's a family owned shop, run by a father and son team. Right away I felt very comfortable that they weren't looking to make a fast buck, but to honestly help fix my problem and gain a loyal customer. They were both very friendly and more importantly didn't talk over my head with a lot of technical mumbo jumbo like a lot of computer tech guys do. After diagnosing the problems and laying out a few options for me, It wound up my laptop was basically toast, which I had suspected. It was about 5 years old, so I wasn't surprised. John gave me an amazing deal on a new Gateway that was twice as powerful as my old one. Not only was the price great, he gave me a really good guarantee on the laptop. If anything goes wrong, I just bring it in and he'll fix it. If you want to support a local, honest family owned business, this is the one. I highly recommend these guys.

YES IT CAN BE FIXED
