My parents drove an hour to this location because it’s where they originally had their system installed. They went in asking about a replacement remote for their Viper alarm—nothing complicated, just how to get a new one. The associates were completely useless and said they needed to schedule an appointment just to get a replacement remote. Not even to program it—just to buy one. They left with zero help and no information after wasting their time.
Meanwhile, I spent two minutes on Google, found the exact remote on Amazon, and another one-minute video showed me how to program it myself. Done. It’s ridiculous that a store that installed the system can’t even point customers in the right direction for something that simple. Total waste of time.

Good morning,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We understand your parents driving so far to get information on getting a replacement remote for their system, but then being told an appointment was needed, wouldn't be welcome. We'd be happy to review this further.
Feel free to send a private message on one of our social media platforms, Facebook (https://bby.me/A60jfN), Twitter/X (https://bby.me/ghWKqj), or Instagram (https://bby.me/KkE19O), and include a reference to your "Google review #144111".
The phone number on your listing does not direct to your store instead it goes to an out of the country support line for Best Buy. I suggest anyone calling to report the number as inaccurate don’t let these large corporations get away with listing numbers like this.

Hi, Justin,
Thank you for this review and feedback. We understand it can be frustrating when you aren't able to reach a store. Due to the number of customers wanting to call stores, all store numbers route to our Customer Care line for assistance, as the stores just can't keep up with the volume. Our phone agents should be able to help with most issues, as they have the same knowledge and access to systems as the stores.
If you'd like assistance or want to formally document your complaint, please send us a message on social media along with your Google Review number, 142854.
Our team would be happy to assist you on any of the following platforms:

Very helpful with great employees
Wasted 40 min for them to tell me they dont think they can replace the glass and battery on my phone without failing and that they wont refund me if they do fail. Seemed like they were just trying to upsell me
