    I was in the store looking at auto stereos and Will Prous came over and assisted me. He was very knowledgeable and helpful as I made my decision to purchase.

    We sat down and discussed the installation kit and the issues I could expect with functionality on the original car features. He was extremely helpful in explaining everything to me and I felt confident that I had made the correct decision. The installation was successful and Will took all the time I needed to understand the nuances of my new JVC auto stereo. My highest commendation to Will Prous and Geek Squad. You can be proud of his commitment to excellent customer service and quality tech service.

    As a longstanding customer of Best Buy as well member of the Geek Squad, I am writing here to express my appreciation to the benefit of Aldo **, Consultation Agent, a Best Buy employee of the Geek Squad, Ft Myers Florida whose exemplary service I received on March 27, 2026. I believe in giving credit where credit is deserved, however before getting started you should know that prior to visiting Geek Squad my wife and I endured immense frustration from the well-known organizations Xfinity (Comcast) and Apple. They were first consulted resultant all of our Comcast emails to each other were going into spam/junk while on our Apple IPhone’s and Apple IPad’s, including from our desktops while on the Comcast App of each device.

    Left unexplained by Comcast and Apple was why this did not occur from the Xfinity (Comcast) Website, when sending to each other emails. Emails sent from their website went into each of our inboxes on the desktop and on both our Apple Company products. Go figure! We spent days with Xfinity and Apple both blaming each other without solution from either for none of their company technicians could resolve the email issue we encountered. After speaking to at least five technicians or trouble shooters of theirs we decidedly made an appointment with the Geek Squad with whom we are contracted annually and were very fortunate to have Aldo ** as our Genius technician.

    Bottom line, it gives me great pleasure now to write this letter of commendation and show appreciation for all at Best Buy and Geek Squad to read! I am immensely pleased to have Aldo as my Genuis for he is an excellent customer service person. He right from the very beginning and throughout our entire conversation, in a very congenial way demonstrated patience, thoughtfulness and a caring manner to listen as a problem solver. His response to my questions were answered in detail and to my satisfaction. His customer service was impeccable, standards of which I live by at my young 83 years of life’s experience.

    He was the ultimate professional, by which customers can depend upon to provide solutions whenever customers visit the store and are fortunate enough to get him. In no time at all he resolved our problems, he restored our emails to working order and analyzed that it was Apple who was sending out signals blocking our email addresses as spam/junk. Interesting enough just days prior, Apple sent out software updates to both my wife and I whereby each of us had gone ahead and updated accordingly as Apple periodically recommends. Right after that, our negative email circumstances occurred? Fortunately Aldo found a workaround without us going back to Apple again and going through more frustration then they already put us through.

    Aldo was very courteous, caring, knowledgeable as well as represented the Best Buy organization in the highest light and regard. His efforts are very much appreciated by this customer. Mind you I do not generally get the opportunity to feel comfortable praising anything or anyone the way I am in this particular instance as I praise Aldo. He is a FIVE STAR individual and choice for all who need an honest, reliable and experienced go to person. Someone who knows what he is doing when it comes to resolving computer problems. To all reading this communication, you can be proud of Aldo for his experience and expertise will inevitably guarantee customer satisfaction all of the time.

    My message to Best Buy and to its Geek Squad division management, you have a valued customer service person in this young GENUIS. Watch out. Someone might make him an offer he can’t refuse. I know I would make an offer if not now retired from owning my business enterprise for 50 years. And to Aldo, should Corporate share my comments with you, keep up the GREAT WORK for your attitude and GOOD WILL shall help you succeed going forward in your business life and life in general. Thank you for your excellent service!

      I just finished spending an hour with Geek Squad Remote. Bentham (Your session details: Session ID: **) was incredible. I had REALLY SCREWED UP my laptop trying to remove every form of spying AI on it that I could find. As a result, I had stripped out Microsoft Edge and had lost my printer and a whole bunch of drivers. (Sigh) Bentham patiently went through the diagnostics, set an order for re-establishing each function in order, and got my laptop talking to my printer perfectly. And what makes this an even better session is that he taught me how to safely remove the temporary files that slow my laptop function, and double check for and remove piles of cookies. So I learned a lot from this session too.

      Geek Squad is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I got this serve for free as I had purchased a membership which I've used for issues that I can take my laptop into the store for. You know, we all have all kinds of services for cleaning and yard care or insurance and health insurance.... and, I have to say, this is the most responsive, highest quality service I have experienced for any problem in recent years. Thank you Geek Squad, and Geek Squad Remote!

      The Geek Squad Technician, Galo, made a home visit and he provided excellent service and resolved all issues. Extremely qualified and gentlemanly. He was very strategic and researched the problems before he intervened and corrected issues and virus protection. Thank you Galo.

      I had a Geek installation done on Thursday, May 14th to install a new TV to replace my old one with the same frame that was there. The two men started by asking me if I wanted them for take the TV for recycling for $25.00. I said, "No, the garbage man will take it away." Then they said my screws from my old TV screws were too short and it would cost me another $25.00. I said, "You must be kidding."

      They went to look in the truck and lo and behold, they found 4 screws. The final straw was that they asked if I wanted them to connect my TV to the cable, and that too was another $25.00. I said, "No, we could do it." I was charged $180.00 for the basic installation, which took all of 15 minutes. They were looking to rip me off and will not use this service again. I complained through at night by phone and Friday morning I received a call asking what the problem was. After I told this woman my story, she was appalled and said on Monday I would hear back from her. I never heard back from anyone, which was the final straw. The odd thing is that when I sent it, it came back as an error, and I couldn’t leave my review. I say buyer beware.

      It has been months now that I receive a calendar invite from a James ** to discuss the renew of my membership. First I have never used Geek Squad hence never had a subscription. Second. Blocking his email did not work. I am here to tell you it is very unprofessional sending calendar invites to people who has never used your service. Starting immediately if I continue receding these unsolicited invite I will report to FDC and BBB.

      Geek Squad and TOSHIBA SERVICE is a SCAM! My TV is only a year old but it blacked out! I went to BEST BUY OWINGS MILLS, they said GEEK SQUAD can't cover it because it is under TOSHIBA waranty. I called Toshiba, and it took 3 weeks for technician to come to our home to fix my tv. Toshiba technician came to repair the tv to our house. He said he can fix it. He opened the tv and tried so hard for more than an hour. Unfortunately, he said he can't do it and will send another technician.

      He took a picture again and send it to another technician in the phone and I heard the other technician said it can't be repair because there was a crack. So he sent the previous picture that he took that there was no crack. When I asked him about it, he said he will send another technician to repair again. He looked nice and polite so I trusted him. I never complained that he cracked the tv, I thought that he tried his hardest. But after a week, I followed up, and TOSHIBA said it was from us. We went back to GEEK SQUAD saying Toshiba won't cover, GEEK SQUAD manager said it was our fault the TV is broken!!! He said he will return the Geek Squad money we paid TO GEEK SQUAD but CANNOT cover the TV. From today, I will never ever buy ANY TOSHIBA and GEEK SQUAD INSURANCE! I hope no one will experience that incident!

      I will never shop at Best Buy again. I brought my laptop in for maintenance; the kid who worked there ended up breaking it. I brought it back six times in eight days. They finally told me they couldn't repair it and I needed to buy a new laptop (how convenient for them). Then, they returned my laptop to me (which they had broken), and THEY WANTED ME TO PAY THEM for breaking my laptop. These people are a bunch of irresponsible children, including the "managers" of the store. RUN FROM THESE PEOPLE AND THIS PLACE.

      I had just purchased an Ipad on friday. Had a couple questions and a problem I needed help with, It was obvious to me this employee had something better to do. His attitude was not helpful at all and we started with the first problem and he told me he could not help me. Did he ask if I needed any further assistance with anything else, ABSOLUTELY NOT. If you were not qualified to help me did it ever occur to you maybe you should have asked someone with more knowledge to step in.

      Best Buy author review by Morgan Cutolo

      Run by Best Buy and well-known by consumers everywhere, Geek Squad is one of the most popular computer help services available.

      • Online and at-home repairs: Geek Squad offers telephone support and in-home repair, which is a helpful feature for clients who find it too difficult to bring a unit to the store.

      • Pricing: One-Time online support is very inexpensive, starting at $49.99 for a PC tuneup. The Geek Squad also offers subscription services on a month-to-month basis.

      • Short wait times: Consumers can depend on support providers to offer help within a short time, unlike some service providers that have unpredictable wait times.

      • Support: Geek Squad was primarily aimed at individuals with tech issues in the past and only recently began offering a la carte services of IT solutions to small businesses.

      • Limited capabilities: Geek Squad doesn’t offer many customizable services to meet the needs of big businesses.
