This was truly an excellent experience. After countless unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue through online channels and phone calls, I visited this store and met an associate named Michael (as shown on his badge). He was extremely patient and tried multiple times on-site using the Cox Communications website system as well as the call center, but the issue still couldn't be resolved. He then continued exploring various alternative approaches to help set it up, and even consulted with his manager to seek additional solutions. In the end, he successfully resolved the long-standing issue I had been facing--setting up automatic payments under a trust account--which had taken me several weeks to try to fix. I am truly grateful for Michael's patience, attention to detail, and strong sense of responsibility in helping me solve this difficult problem. read more

When I think of Cox, I can't help but laugh at just how lazy, unintelligent, and incompetent this company really is. They sell a product but apparently have no clue how it works or how to provide customers with basic information about installing it. I'm talking about their useless cellular backup device. Asking someone at Cox to simply verify where this stupid little device connects to the modem is like pulling teeth. It shouldn't be this damn difficult to get a basic technical question answered about a product THEY sell. Merliza at the store didn't have a damn clue and became very argumentative when I went in looking for help. All she could do was repeatedly tell me to "go to the website," even after I explained that the website was no help and didn't provide the information I needed. Repeating the same useless answer over and over doesn't suddenly make it helpful. This has to be one of the stupidest-run internet companies ever created. How do you sell equipment that your own employees apparently know nothing about? Let's hope Spectrum cleans house, fires the lazy and unhelpful employees, and replaces them with knowledgeable people who are actually willing and able to do their jobs. Customers shouldn't have to fight this hard just to get a simple technical question answered read more

I walked into the Cox Communications store on Sand Canyon Drive expecting to exchange equipment. Instead, I accidentally bought tickets to a live comedy show. Step 1: Sign in immediately. Step 2: Watch eight employees somehow all be "busy" while accomplishing absolutely nothing. It was fascinating. One employee was deeply committed to a laptop, another seemed to have an intense relationship with their phone, and the rest had clearly mastered the Olympic sport of looking occupied while avoiding eye contact. Then came my favorite part... After patiently waiting my turn, two customers who arrived after me asked an employee "one quick question." You know... the famous "quick question" that somehow turned into an entire customer service appointment. Apparently, the queue is more of a decorative suggestion. Eventually, my name was called by Nichole, who looked like someone had just informed her that break time was officially over. No "Hi," no "How are you?"--just pure enthusiasm... if enthusiasm had been unplugged. Every question I asked seemed like I was requesting the secrets to the universe. Meanwhile, the gum chewing suggested she was mentally already clocked out and halfway to Friday night. By the time I left, I found myself thinking, "You know what? The DMV isn't so bad after all." Honestly, next time I'll just call customer service from home. At least if I'm going to be frustrated, I can do it in sweatpants. Cox has mastered the speed of fiber internet. If only the customer service could load as fast. Would I come back? Only if Netflix starts filming a new season of The Office here. read more

Cox communications retail location. Already did everything online and still have to wait for a sales rep to finish his sales pitch with each, and every, customer. Jason was great. Very overqualified read more

I h ad been working with Cox over the phone and on their AI chat in regards to moving but decided to go in person instead. Meliza helped me and she immediately greeted me, was positive, and helpful! Jason also was great and helpful! A really positive experience in what normally can be a frustrating errand to run. Go to this location! read more

JT was super helpful and kind! Came here for a promotion and was helped out very quickly.

I spent a total of 4 hours in one week trying to get COX issues worked out over the phone and chat with the corporate phone numbers . A total stressful waste of time. I finally called the Cox retail location in Irvine/Quail Hill and Julio was so helpful and honest, the whole team there was so nice. I drove out and they fixed me right up. Learned my lesson- just call or go into this local COX location for great service. read more

As a Cox cable customer in Newport Beach, my nearest Cox store is in Irvine. When our cable converter in the kitchen failed over the weekend, we removed it and took it to the Cox store. I sent my wife, as I wanted her to gain the experience of exchanging a defective rental converter. In the past, they simply scanned the barcode on the bottom and promptly provided an exchange. However, this time they gave her a hard time. They insisted she provide the name of my first pet, as a child. This is a secret question to prove who you are, when all else fails. Needless to say, she had no idea, as she is not me. The fact she had the Cox rental equipment and was simply looking for an exchange was not enough. Se had a drivers license with the same last name and address as the account, meant nothing. She was forced to call me to get the secret answer. I consider this elder abuse, as she was 80 and had trouble hearing through the entire ordeal. I do not blame the employee, as they were trained to make these unreasonable requests. It is the Cox policy that I find fault with. Am I happy with the Cox cable service? In general yes, but paying more than $3,600 yearly for equipment rental and service should provide me better customer service. What would Cox had done if I sent my grandson or niece to do the exchange? Maybe Cox selling out to Spectrum brought about this change? Or Cox has simply decided to become less friendly to their paying customers? In any case, should I have any further poor service, I will switch to satellite service. Do not deal with Cox Cable! read more

Employees here are amazing and patient. Let's start with when I got to the door Jason opened it to welcome me in. Michael was the next employee to help me ...Explained different plans and my best options. I was walking in to cancel my plan but decided to stay with their exceptional customer service. Thank you gentlemen for providing amazing customer service! read more

Do everything in your power to avoid Cox for your home internet needs. Check your area for Google Fiber or Verizon. Over the last 20 years of using home internet, I have never had a home internet plan that was capped with data limits. Without knowing, this store signed me up for a home internet plan with capped data limits. The plan costs $110/month so it is reasonable to assume for that price you are getting unlimited internet, wrong, that price gets you a capped data plan. We have 2 people living in a 3 bedroom townhome. From the first month on the plan we would start to get "nearing your data limit" warning emails with 7-10 days left in the billing cycle. Once your limit is reached, they add $10 for every additional 50GB of data that you need. We have had several bills stacking up to $170/month with their overages added! (For a capped internet plan, with 2 people using the internet, with a $110 base fee!). Unbelievable. The cherry on top is that since this began happening 1 month into the plan, I started to keep my cell phone on cellular data only (unlimited data via tmobile) to avoid using the limited home wifi data that we have access to. Even when keeping my cell phone off home wifi permanently, we continue to get hit with monthly overages from $20-$60/month in addition to the $110 base fee. Cannot wait to get off this plan and away from Cox. Another massive company taking advantage of its customers and providing low quality customer service when you call in. read more

Bad service. Staff here were not friendly or helpful, unlike other locations where staff are smiling and very helpful.

This is my first time signing up with Cox. The store employee Michael has great costumer service! He made the experience super simple and efficient. Thank you Michael! read more

Do not go to this location. It's similar to going to the DMV-employees are comically slow, standing around saying to wait in line and won't help you. Basically you'll be waiting around a long time to get any service. Go elsewhere read more

I just wanna thank Michael and his entire team for going above and beyond and Remi the extra mile the courtesy professionalism just really blew me away. They made everything super easy for my family, easy parking and a clean facility make this place for all of your accessories highly recommend recommended five star treatment wow just wow amazing read more

Thank you to Julio for providing great and quick support in getting my internet set up when the website gave me trouble. If anyone is having trouble with the site, I recommend calling into the store here. read more

My bill increased from $279 to $379, consequently I went to the Quail Hill store and met with them to discuss how I could reduce the bill. After about 20 minutes the young lady who was helping me was only interested in selling me a mobile plan...nothing about how to reduce my bill about the packages or services I had. I threatened to leave Cox but again she simply didn't care. Guess she was pushing for a commission. I have GFiber as an option I will be moving on after 10 years. read more

Rude unhelpful. No idea about customer service. The first person told me a lie about the equipment and only after I insisted on talking to a manager did it turn out that he was lying. read more

Stay away from these crooks! I was paying $170 a month JUST for internet because they have a monopoly in Lake Forest for hard-wired internet. Just switched to Verizon 5G and I am getting 500 Mbps for $45 a month plus HBO Max and Netflix included. Just received a call today from Cox that they can reduce my bill to $100. How do you randomly reduce your price by almost half? Shadiest company I've ever had to deal with. read more

This store by far has a worse customer service I have ever experienced. I'm cancelling my service after 13 years cuz of extra charges on my acct and ast manager & store manager (Keith smith and laTrisha jolla) They couldn't tell me the charges I have been paying for and both rude loud screaming as managers. Only reason I am cancelling my service is because of these two managers above. read more

As most of us know, Cox is not known for their customer service, especially over the phone. After spending months getting the runaround from corporate about a billing issue, I gave up and called this storefront. The kindest person answered the phone, and AD immediately solved all of my troubles and for that I cannot be more grateful! Someone give this person a raise, they truly saved me so much stress and frustration that not a single person in customer service could solve! I'm heavily debating bringing in baked goods for this store just to show my appreciation. I will never be a cox customer again but if I had spoked with AD at the beginning, I might consider going back! read more

I went into the Quail Hill store this morning because I had an issue with my bill. I was greeted right away by Freddy who listened to my problem and came up with a wonderful solution that was just right for my situation. He very patiently answered all my questions, got me all set up, and could not have been nicer. It's such a difference talking to a helpful, knowledgeable person like Freddy, rather than some faceless person on the phone. read more

I experienced intermittent outages for a year before deciding to switch providers. The outages were small, so I won't say that cox had bad service. They do have more expensive options to guarantee continuous service that are way more expensive than other basic services that don't have outages. My issue with cox is I have to beg them to cancel my service. I have been on with a representative right now and it's been 30 mins of continuous chatter (online with live agent) and I just keep asking to cancel service and they won't!!! It shouldn't take me 45 mins to cancel service. I will be like please cancel my service and they will ask how many people in my household and I'm like no cancel the service there is nothing else you can sell me on please cancel. I even said I would report them to my cc company bc I keep asking to cancel (this was 20 mins into the convo). This was the only thing to get them to stop!!! And at this moment, it's still not canceled! This drives me away from cox and makes me never want service with them again. read more

I don't remember when this office opened but "I've going there since their grand opening and I've used their services. Some of the people are more knowledgable than others, but generally I've had very good service with Cox. I highly recommend this shop and Cox in general. read more

Michael Haughey is the best, I was overpaying at Tmobile and he helped me transfer my mobile lines over plus got new phones and helped me deal with an issue I had with my internet service- he was very professional, super nice and efficient. Great experience :)) read more

This store is terrible! No sign of customer service or even professionalism! While I was trying to close my account, Jason who helped with the process, did not even greet me and while recording the returned router and other tv boxes on his computer, he was dancing and apparently his customer was not noticeable and unfortunately this is where the COX is now and stands for, "we have the monopoly of Irvine and we do not care about our customers." But technology is changing rapidly and once more people become aware and well educated about technology and providers that offer such technology and the same services, including Internet and TV, they will definitely switch from COX to their competitors. I am one of those customers. Cox home internet is not something that they claim. Our case was that watching YouTube every night and losing the internet because of buffering in the middle of a program. Too much hassle going to resetting the router, etc. but not solving the issue. I did the troubleshooting myself because of my technical background, however except here and there fixing the problem, we had to ending up having a technician! In addition, COX TV HD channels are so bad and they should not even called "HD." My son was watching sports, and complained every single time! One more thing: Cox spends so much money on marking, therefore, they have no choice except jacking the prices, but again, they are not well aware of competition or technology, and daily losing their base/customers. I am a business man with a Ph.D, and taught business courses at best schools for years including San Diego State University, so, I know what I am sharing with you and I am a true believer that COX will lose their monopoly and eventually many customers down the road. See how Google is doing as an example and help yourself and family by switching to other competitors who provide such service with much less money and a better technology. Dr.Z read more

Horrible service & rude staff. Never go there if it at all you want to use Cox as a provider

When you need to see someone from Cox Communications, GO HERE! Plain and simple: This IS the place that WILL help you in every way they can (humanly possible). WHY?? The staff (all of them) seem genuinely happy to be at work. They smile and greet you as soon as you walk in the door. They ask you sign in (DO IT!). When your name is called, they focus on YOU. No phone calls answered, only the common courtesy of recognition to those who walk in the door. Hat's off for great customer service to Amir & Hugo. Both have helped me and MORE than met my needs by answering all my questions and getting me what I want versus overselling. Almost to the point they will undersell what you need (this is actually a good thing). Will always come here when I need questions answered because it's so close and they are so friendly. read more

Too bad yelp requires reviewers to leave a minimum of 1 star. Nothing surprising here as many people experience lousy service at every cable provider. But cox makes others look like saints. To be fair this location really deserves negative stars. Don't bother coming here because ultimately the difference in any cox store are the people and the ones at this location, manager included, have no interest in helping or trying to find solutions. They only ramble whatever the company tagline tells them. Yet a few miles from this cesspool is another cox store that took the time to listen and solved my problem. Miracles can happen. read more

Who doesn't like cox? Me! Who has no choice but to have their service?! Me! In store experience just as bad as on the phone. It's like looking for a shooting star to get someone that is helpful. Ridiculous. Horrible. Good luck to anyone that comes to this store. Came to drop off an old box and figure out the monthly bill. Wow what torture.... read more

Katya Rodriguez was very helpful when I walked in today. She talked through all my options with getting wifi and a new phone line, and genuinely prioritized what was best for me. I felt she went the extra distance to provide all the information and material I needed! read more

Like most people I hate going into these sort of establishments... and the past two times I've been here have sucked.... EXCEPT FOR TODAY! What was the difference?--- TYLER. Thank you Tyler for explaining everything and being so patient with me. Thank you for listening and truly figuring out what was wrong with my service/account. We all know most customer service these days are trash, but he is the exception. Thank you, I hope you get the recognition you deserve. :) read more

Jason was probably the most helpful cox representative I've ever encountered with. He was super patient and nice and helpful. I suggest u ask hom for help when going to this location. read more

Moved out of state and returned my equipment to this store as directed. Then received a 1300.00 bill. Returned to the store to reconcile and they happen to find in their system that I did in fact return my equipment. Once again, provided me with a receipt showing 0.00 balance. A month later, received a 1300.00 bill. The incompetence of the people involved and the shit systems they have in place result in headaches and multiple inconveniences for this past customer. This debacle ultimately hit collections and my credit report. It is a shame I was a customer for 13 years, and this was the send off I received. I'm not a big fan of dish or Direct, however, I will use any other service in any of my homes within a Cox geography. Never again. read more

They are scammers. They lie to their customers and rip off them by charging them stupid fees to make their internet work. I just got a router from cox 6 months ago and now they want to charge me another fee to fix the situation instead of replacing it for free. They are incompetent people that don't know what they are talking about. If I could cancel it I would. There are no other services I can contact for internet. read more

*READ: Cox is the worst company to ever deal with. This is not a case by case situation. Whether you're dealing with their customer service over the phone, or local branches, they're absolute dip shits. Esp the douche who points at the door/store hours and looks away avoiding eye contact because he wants to get off work. You realize and appreciate Chase Bank for never turning last minute customers away even when they are technically "closed" because that's straight up good customer service and makes people go back. Only way I'd go back to this Cox store is to pull a Russell Crowe "Unhinged" scenario to the POS who closes on the Wednesday night shift. Yeah. You heard me. Ready to go home and eat your TV dinner dumb monkey? (I'd curse instead of using these silly terms but it's Yelp ya know ) read more

Worst customer experience ever! Been a customer of Cox for 2 years and they lock you in on a promo so you can't change service but they raise the price within the 2 year period. We moved recently and Cox is no longer a available option. We signed up for Spectrum and the same service is $100 less. Upon cancellation they said my promo price ended and it was now $40 more a month. My bill went from $191/month to $225/month. I went into the store today and wanted to pay my $191/month and be done with Cox. My rep Amir Khalilpoir stated my promo ended and normally most customers get on a new promo. I told him I moved out of your area and that was not possible. He was unfriendly, no helpful and started shaking because I didn't want to listen to his deceitful story. Cox is a rip off and their customer service is non-existent. Glad the other companies are catching up on speed and nobody will use Cox after that read more

We had great service at the Cox Solutions Store at Quail Hill. Used on-line service to request new panoramic WiFi and also needed to update our very old cable box. The order was done quickly and my reference number was generated right away. We arrived at the store and within just a few minutes the wonderful staff had our new equipment ready to go. Everyone was friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. Everything worked beautifully at home and a few questions to a COX staff person about installation of the WIFI had us working within a short time. Thanks to the wonderful staff and all the help we receive. read more
