    Ask the Community - Torrance Electronics

    Do you guys have other locations? Please recommend.

    Hello Eric, we do not have any other location open now. We did have a sister store in Panorama Electronics but that closed down some time ago after the owner retired. Like most other Electronics stores, there are not too many left open for business… 

    Do you sell computer ram sticks? Preferably ddr3 or ddr4?

    Hello, we do not sell the Computer RAM sticks. Check with Alltech Computers in Lomita, any Best Buy or Micro Center in Tustin,CA.

    Do you repair radios?

    Sorry but we do not do any repairs in the location. We just sell the parts to do the repairs on electronic equipment.

    Would you buy a vocopro portable PA with all the gear it came with?

    We do not buy used audio equipment or any other consumer equipment. We only sell the stuff to repair them.

    Do they sell portable touchscreen monitors (not tablets)? Which i can connect to my raspberry pi 3 via hdmi.

    Unfortunately we do not have the touchscreen monitors for the Raspberry Pi. You can try Micro Center in Tustin, they have some of the Raspberry accessories.

    Need email to send picture of this cable?

    Use your cell phone & send the picture to store. Ask them what number. Good Luck!

    Is there an email for this company so I can send an email of a product I'm looking for? I live in…

    Currently they don't have a website, but I'd recommend calling them and asking one of the team members there for an email address. All of the people there are knowledgeable, plus they can order basically whatever you're looking for.

    Do they carry 3.5mm TRRS connectors?

    Yes, both the bare connectors and with various connectors. You can either look for it on the shelf (3rd or 4rd aisle) or ask one of the assistants at the counter.

    Can I get 100 W stereo Adcom power amp repaired here?

    Probably not. Check out: www.adcom.com and click customer service and enter your contact information and model number of your amplifier.

It made the checkout process incredibly fast. The Cons: *Vibe: There were way more employees lurking than actual customers, which felt a little crowded/odd. Overall, a solid spot if you want to get in and out quickly with exactly what you need.

Great. Not only does Best Buy have an extraordinary amount of disdain for its customers, but they don't even want to talk to them directly any more. I get it. Customers are hard. They ask questions... ugh... what a hassle, right? When I finally got through the barrage of abrasively upbeat music which threw in a melody from a whistling chorus (because there's no way of saying "I hate my customers" more than bad, upbeat music with a whistling chorus), I got to Bernie. Bernie seemed nice if a bit beleaguered. He sounded defeated in the way that came from a long, drawn out existential crisis that he seemed be losing. Bernie apologized that he did not in fact have the capability to transfer anyone to any department to any Best Buy anywhere. I can understand why he sounded so defeated. When I asked him why he could not, poor, defeated Bernie simply hung up. It's nice to know that Best Buy's corporate policy of disdain and utter hatred for its customer is so much a part of their corporate ethos that it makes down to even the lowliest phone operator. Well done, Best Buy. You did it. I called to check on their selection that I was not able to find on their web site. I guess they demand that you, and me, mere plebeians, must actually drive to their stores. I wanted to ask about the price of an item and it's availability. I'll buy elsewhere. I'll go back when they actually answer their phones on site and show a modicum of respect to their customers.

What…read moreshould have been a simple warranty/return exchange turned into one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. On July 4, 2026, I purchased an iPhone 17 Pro and an iPad A16 from this location. The iPad was defective from the beginning--it became completely unresponsive and would not enter or complete recovery mode. After troubleshooting with Apple Support, I was specifically instructed to return to Best Buy to exchange the defective device. The exact replacement model was in stock. When I returned on July 13, 2026, the female supervisor I dealt with refused to exchange the defective iPad. She claimed she could not process the exchange because she was unable to activate the replacement device in the store. I repeatedly explained that I did not need the device activated and that Apple had instructed me only to exchange the defective unit. She refused to acknowledge this, became argumentative and confrontational, and insisted on processing the transaction as a return instead of an exchange. As a result, I left without the replacement product I was entitled to receive. Even worse, the installment agreement remained active on my AT&T account, leaving me financially responsible for a device I no longer possessed. This created unnecessary financial hardship that could have been avoided had store policy been followed. As a customer with a disability, I also left feeling profiled and treated differently. Throughout the interaction, I perceived the supervisor's demeanor, communication, and unwillingness to work toward a reasonable solution as discriminatory. While I cannot know another person's motives, the experience left me feeling that I was not afforded the same level of service and respect that every customer deserves. Consumers should not have to fight for an exchange of a clearly defective product, especially after following Apple's instructions. Instead of resolving the issue, this store created additional financial and administrative problems. I hope Best Buy's corporate leadership reviews this location's customer service practices, return procedures, and management oversight. No customer should leave paying for a product they no longer have because an employee refused to properly process a defective exchange. SHE SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!
