When it came time to mount my big @$$ Google TV, I knew myself well enough to know that if I…read moreattempted it, there would be blood spilled, vulgarities thrown and hell to pay for afterwards. So, based on a recommendation, I contacted Stereo Planet to help. They sent over Nathan to do the job and he did so quickly, professionally and calmly. Three things that I would not have been capable of achieving. He was a great guy and knew exactly what he was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I know that they do SO much more than just mount TVs, so next time I need to do anything related to electronic equipment and home theaters, Stereo Planet will be the first place I call.

I had very high hopes when I started service with BendTel. They seemed to have solid customer…read moreservice and reasonable options for a local ISP. They even worked with me on price. Unfortunately that's before I was sold on one service, and then slipped a contract for a different service that operates at 1/10 the speed and locked into a 2 year contract. I'm a business owner, not a network engineer. A difference like that needs to be explained before just giving me a bait and switch inside of a contract. When I reached out to try and come to a resolution I was Chastised by my sales person Doug because I contacted the wrong account manager who coincidentally seemed to be the only person willing to help. After that I simply wanted to be let you of the contract I was tricked into agreeing to. Today I was informed that the cancellation cost would be over 4 thousand dollars. I'm absolutely sick to my stomach over the experience, and can't believe its happening from a local company inside of Bend.

Be absolutely certain to read the fine print on their "Service Agreement"…read more Be aware of high taxes and fees that are not disclosed upfront!! Also require they establish your password, they know it and you can not change. Seems strange to have to share password to my business email account with their staff.

Would not recommend.

I dropped off my truck on 3/2/2026 for a new stereo installation after explaining the week prior…read morethat my old stereo was cutting out and draining the battery. I was told to just drop it off on 3/2--no specific time was given. When I arrived at 9:30 AM, George didn't know who I was and said he had marked me as a no-show. That should have been my first red flag. I left my truck anyway and was told I'd get a text when it was ready. By 3 PM, I hadn't heard anything, so I called--only to find out it had already been done and no one bothered to notify me. When I picked it up, I was told the dashboard piece we had discussed the week before wasn't ordered and would take about a week. Two weeks later, I had to call again, and once again George had no idea what I was talking about--though somehow the part was there. I scheduled another appointment, and the same thing happened: no call or text when it was ready. We had to stop by, and my truck was just sitting in the lot. To make things worse, the stereo is still having the same issue--music cuts out randomly. I stopped in again on 4/3 and scheduled a follow-up for 4/9, but needed to reschedule. When I called, George again didn't know why I was coming in, put me on hold saying he was "under a car," and never returned to the phone call. I waited nearly 10 minutes before having to hang up and go back to work. I followed up with a text and never got a response. At this point, I'm done. The communication is terrible, the issue was never fixed, and I've had to make multiple trips for something that should have been handled correctly the first time. I just wanted a working stereo--not this level of hassle. I'll be taking my truck somewhere else.

Saturday, the 17th, I had an appointment at the "Verizon" (cellular sales) store on the north side…read moreof Redmond to get my new phone. I got there, and we got started. I had an iPhone 12 Pro Max and was upgrading to the 17 Pro max...huge improvement! Mind you, my 12 was paid off. (I would hope so by now with how old it was.) I decided not to trade it in because it still works; it's just slow, and if ever I needed it, I'd have it. It was never mentioned that I had to trade it in. So, as the sales rep is transferring things over, he starts telling me that I'll have to keep my old phone activated on the account for 36 months until my new phone is paid off. It didn't sound right, but maybe because I was keeping the old phone, it made things harder, idk. He puts my old phone on a new line and gives me a new number for that device and gets my new phone set up. I then ask him directly, "So, because I'm not trading this phone in, I have to have service to it until my new phone is paid off?" "Yes, that is correct." I'm in no position to argue with someone "doing their job." I finish up at the store and go on about my day. I realized later on that he had added Verizon's device protection to both phones and the Netflix/HBO max perk even though I specifically said I don't need that and I already had a Netflix subscription. So with everything minus the taxes, I was looking at $157 a month for a brand-new phone and a burner phone I'd keep in a drawer. I vented to a few people about my experience and finally decided to call Verizon's customer support and figure out what the reason is for making me keep my old, paid-off phone activated on top of the $1600 phone I just bought. The customer service rep verbatim asked me if I was joking and said, "I'm pissed." "That's bullshit," so he knew that I got one pulled over on me and that the sales rep in the store was doing what he could to make a bonus/commission. He immediately deactivated my old phone from the account and explained everything that should have happened and what to expect with my phone bill from here on out. Just be mindful when you do go into the stores and listen to your gut because sometimes they're just as bad as car salesmen.

This place is phenomenal. Full of do-gooders. Go-getters. Absolute champions of competency at their craft, and their craft is in high demand in the technological age. I've come into this business twice now, and both times I left feeling like I made the right decision going to these guys for help. A few months ago, I broke my 6 year old iPhone that I was too stubborn to replace. After they did a phenomenal job fixing it for me, I dropped it in the lake (my own fault) and it was clear it was time to just replace the device. I tried going to my phone carrier first (my phone carrier has 2 stores in bend. I have NEVER had a good experience at either of my own phone carrier's stores.) After wasting 2 hours in one of these said stores, I knew it was time to call in the big guns and just go to Mactek. Let me tell you I could have easily saved more than 2 hours of my life if i had just went to Mactek first. Colm greeted me the moment I walked in, I told him I need a new phone, gotta transfer some data from my old one that barely works, and he was more than helpful to all of my problems. He went so far above and beyond to make sure I was set up with my new phone, he even transferred my number/cellular data onto my new phone without me having to go back to my phone carrier store. I'm beyond impressed with this place and I'm about to tell everyone not just in central Oregon, but in the entire state of Oregon and beyond that this is the best Tec repair store in this time zone. Maybe the world.
