Best Buy West La

Update from my post shared 3 months ago: Just three months after my most recent repair, my craft ice maker once again clogged up and has stopped working. I contacted Best Buy only to find out that my extended warranty expired three months ago, and despite the recent repair, my ice maker is no longer covered under warranty. I was previously told by Best Buy agents that repaired parts are covered for one year. Apparently that is not the case. Save your money and shop elsewhere. ORIGINAL POST: I strongly discourage anyone from buy appliances from Best Buy. Four years ago I purchased a $4k LG refrigerator, among many other appliances during a kitchen remodel. Less than a year later, the refrigerator’s craft ice maker stopped working. Geek Squad ultimately replaced the ice maker. Since then I’ve experienced this same issue nearly a dozen times. Recently, the Geek Squad agents did not show up for a pre scheduled repair appointment that was made three weeks in advance. I was not given advanced notice of the canceled appointment, and instead was notified the morning of. I’ve asked to return the refrigerator, and I’ve even asked for a replacement or store credit to purchase a new fridge. Best Buy has refused all requests. Their only response has been, “We’re sorry for the inconvenience” and for me to continue scheduling service appointments. According to many of the Geek Squad technicians I’ve spoken with, LG is notorious for making poorly designed ice makers, and Best Buy absolutely refuses to work with its customers. Rather than standing by the products they sell, they push garbage units and shaft their customers. Costco will be my go to store for appliances going forward.

The usual electrical experience

Five stars for the incredible team at Best Buy who stepped up to protect me when Apple's ecosystem failed. When my new MacBook Pro suffered from non-stop credential lockouts on day one, I came here to buy a Google Nest Wifi Pro. A sales associate named Trina introduced me to the Best Buy Total membership, which became an absolute lifesaver.Due to Apple's software issues, I ended up spending $566.77 at Best Buy on a membership and networking equipment that normally would not have been necessary. However, Best Buy's team earned every penny of my trust. While an Apple technician wanted me to spend $500–$600+ just to get my old computer ready to transfer data, Best Buy stepped in and transferred all of my data to another computer without charging me a single penny extra for those repairs. They are patient, helpful, and provide a vital safety net for customers.
