Best Buy's sales associates are very well trained regarding the products they sell or repair in all departments. I recommend Best Buy to all who are shopping for any product that Best Buy sells.
I scheduled a paid iPhone 14 battery replacement through Apple for this authorized service location. My battery health is 82%, and battery life is now impacting daily work use. I do not have AppleCare, which I understood was not required for a paid replacement.
I arrived on time and was seen promptly, but after running diagnostics, I was told:
Battery health must be below 80%
The phone must be under 30% charge
The cost would be $79.99
They would not replace the battery because I do not have AppleCare and “Apple would not allow them to”
When I pointed out that Apple sent me here, the response was, “Yes, they do that. Sorry.”
This appointment should never have been scheduled if the service could not be performed. The lack of transparency wasted time and travel and reflects poor coordination with Apple.
Recommendation: skip this location and go directly to an Apple Store to avoid the frustration.

Rude employee that worked in the TV section yesterday around 2pm. Long hair in his mid 40's. I simply asked for a gaming controller for my LG smart TV that has apps for free games to play for my 4 year old. He responds " Is it Xbox or PlayStation and I know because I own 2 LG TV's." I simply replied none of those. It's the free games that come with the LG game portal. He looks at me like I have no clue what I'm doing. He continues to respond the same again is it Xbox or PlayStation. He even tells his coworkers as I walk off like I'm a joke. First off, I'm a customer asking a valid question if there's a LG gaming controller. Second we don't own game consoles in my household because it creates employees like him to act in this line of matter. You are not above anyone sir. Stay humble especially to a Buddhist monk not in uniform trying to make his child happy. Hope your day was fulfilled at Best buy since you know it all. Thanks best buy but I will only shop online from now on because of the people you hire don't show good customer service.
Great deals, good prices, helpful staff
