I am surprised that I am one of the 2 anomalies that have experienced good service. But then again,…read moremost people will write the "not great" reviews over the "positive" reviews especially since this is a customer service based as opposed to food service. This Spectrum Store is located on the other side of the Trader Joe's on Imperial, and is across from the Sit 'n Sleep Mattress Store. With any Trader Joe's locations, the parking is always not great so it also translates into limited parking for Spectrum Store customers as well. Most of the time, unless urgent, I always make a reservation because then I know that I will hopefully be helped within a certain time frame. There is a tablet for customers to check-in for their reservations, right as one steps into the store. There is a monitor (to the right) that will show where the reserved party is, or where the walk-ins are. The employees will call your name and one will head to their kiosk. Most of the time I go, I do not have to wait too long (maybe 30 mins max one time on the weekend with a reservation), which makes sense since most people will be stopping by when they are not working. We've always had our questions answered and treated with respect. Yes, they are busy and people come in with questions in regards to their multitude of services (internet, mobile, cable, and phone). Yes, some customers ahead of you may ask many questions, or may not know how to ask their question for the answer they are looking for, and the wait time does take a bit longer. For certain things, I find it easier to stop by a Spectrum store to get my answers (sometimes) than to call their help line, which is not bad also because it is always a U.S. based customer service representative who answers.

Several people were already waiting outside before the doors even opened. I can see this place being very chaotic and why it's got terrible reviews. Employees don't stop people from cutting in line. Parking is awful because of the shared lot with a very busy Trader Joe's.

ATTEMPTED StarLink install…read more.. Terrible experience. They came to my home and had the wrong ladder so they left. Couldn't reschedule for the same day. So I figured it all out myself and if they had just walked around the house, they would've noticed a previous DIRECTV install bracket (already bolted into the house) that they could've used. I sent them a picture of it and they said they couldn't use it. But I'm literally writing this review from StarLink that I set up myself. For free! ! I've now got the entire thing setup by myself, and simply have to go to Home Depot in the morning and buy a few small things to make everything look neat. Most simple install ever. They did not research the project or even look at the height of my home. Super disappointing ! It's like any other business. When they get really busy, you' really find out how good they are at managing things.

I called David and he was able to repair the faulty internal board for only around $375. And that cost was only because he had to take the tv apart and repair at his shop. If it had been a main board that was on the exterior it would have come out to much less. While here, I found out he also does VHS to DVD transfers. If you want to avoid having to buy a replacement tv...... I Highly Recommend!

Be aware of these scamming salespeople

Wow, customer service still exists in this country, and Mihai at Direct Hi Def is living proof…read more Matter of fact, I hope this review does not get flagged for being too positive. First off, let me confess that I have ten thumbs when it comes to electronics and gadgets. So, when the cleaning crew I hired yanked my TV, DVD player, speakers and FIOS cables all to hell, I was up a creek without a paddle. Nothing worked except the DVD, and that was now all pixilated. Damn it! Was I going to lose my unwatched episodes of Wilfred and the season premiere of Sons of Anarchy??? Ahh to hell with that! So I found Direct Hi Def off Yelp and give them a call around Sept 5 to explain my problem. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, since I was heading to Italy for vacation) I was not able to schedule Mihai until I returned. When I returned to work on Thursday, he was the first person I called. He remembered my dilemma and worked on scheduling me asap. Now anyone in the L.A./OC/IE area knows what a pain the commute can be, so we had difficulty setting up an evening appointment during the week. I am in Chino Hills, and their office is in Irvine. No problem, Mihai offers to come out on Saturday. We are in touch back and forth the past few days (great communication by phone and text), and he shows up as scheduled today Saturday as agreed. Mihai goes to work, and less than 90 minutes later, my FIOS is back up, my speakers work, the DVD looks sharper than ever, and now I have a iPOD outlet for my receiver. All at a more than fair price, mind you. It was only in talking to Minhai that I come to find out that he is committing to my project in between several personal engagements today. He took the time, effort, and gasoline to drive from deep OC to CH on his day off to fulfill his commitment to me. All I can say is, if you need ANYTHING in the home audio/video installation, repair, or upgrade departments, Direct Hi Def is your solution. When it is time to bring my home audio/video into the 21st Century, DHD will be the only one I call. Thanks a million, Mihai!
