I recently had the pleasure of working with Tak to resolve an issue I have been dealing with for the past week. I can't thank him enough! He was patient, professional, and was able to determine and resolve my issue quickly. I had been to two other computer places to try to resolve the issue, but they did not take the time to really look at the issue. Tak went the extra step and had the knowledge to determine the issue. Much thanks to Tak! I hope i never have another issue, but if i do, I will be returning to Tak!
Best service and Location....I've been buying here all my cellphones, apples products and coffee machine for the last 15 years! Can't find any complaints about Best Buy is the Best electronic store around.
I would be very careful about dealing with this store. I had them replace a screen protector and instead of doing it in front of me like they always did in the past, the staff took it out back. I was not given the opportunity to lock or power off the device. About an hour later someone tried to hack into my Amazon account. When I called the store manager, he said that is normal. When I contacted customer support they said it was normal and told me some strange story about how the staff drove 3 miles away to have the screen protector installed at a service center and 3 miles back. That makes no sense and frankly, given how long the phone was gone it seems implausible. The customer service person also tried to tell me there was a heavy customer flow. The staff was outnumbering the customers 3 to 1 when I was there. So, even if it is just a coincidence that someone tried to hack my Amazon account, saying it is normal to have staff not give a person the time to lock or shut down a phone is a bad idea for both customers and staff. It puts the customer in a risky position in regard to identity theft. I'm pretty laid back but I can see others also going back and causing problems for the staff. I just wanted to be assured that was not business as normal or at the very least they would change the process to install the screen in front of the customer and if they cannot do so, give the person the chance to shut off their device.
