after reading the other complaints (which i should have read before i paid for geek squad service), i am amazed that their customer service is so horrible. my computer was taking forever to start up & shut down and the first person who came here appeared to have helped me. then i went to put my compact card reader in the usb port (a day later), and nothing happened. i called geek squad to find out what happened and they said i would need another appt (4 hour window) but there were none available for about 5 days. last wednesday, i sat home from 4pm until 7:30 pm when a dispatcher (not even the person who was supposed to come here) said he was running late and that i would have to reschedule because he doesn't work after 8pm, but there no appts again for another 5 days. i went to best buy (where i had paid $189 for the service) and they said there's nothing they could do. i finally had someone here today (yes, on a beautiful saturday afternoon) and after an hour or so, he said he couldn't fix the problem...all i needed was for a program to be reenabled. bottom line, i cancelled the charge on my cc, had a friend come over and restore it back to an earlier date...why didn't the geek do that???
THEY SUCK!!!
just go to craigslist and find a computer techie who's in college (at least they could use the money.)

With craigs list, you could be getting a person who is a geeksquad reject.
I have seen bills for $700 for virus clean up and they finally formatted and lost the guys wedding photos. You got off easy.
Its hard to find good computer help.
If you ever need help again, I have a reference, http://www.GuaranteedPCFIX.com/news and we can make your PC boot up 2 times as fast, run faster and keep it protected for a year, guaranteed.

We are looking to advertise, do you think this web site would be a good idea? (like the above ad for "Zprotect")
I would like to find a place to get the client before they get burned, but it may also help them appreciate us more after dealing with others.
I am thinking that if I advertise here, people would be more confident and that if we did not live up to our claims, they would have a place fight back.
What do you think?

Hi
This is how I feel about geek squad. They are stupid, they don't know anything about computer. All they do is using a cd call MRI, to do diagnostic. If the cd say bad hard drive they call customer and translate that over the phone, of course the CD cannot talk therefore someone must make the call. Also they don't fix computer at bestbuy everything is sent out to a service center or connect to johnnyutah(remove access) All they do is connect your computer to the internet, and someone else will fix it.

Everybody have access to your personal information.
You will be better taking your computer to McDonald restaurant to be fix and no to GEEK SQUAD.
