I’m specifically reviewing the Best Buy Germantown location. The greeting team was very friendly and welcoming, which was a great first impression. However, my experience with customer service and Geek Squad was very disappointing. The Geek Squad team at this location was not helpful at all. I came in needing assistance, but I was told to do everything online and was simply given a paper with steps to follow, which btw didn’t even work.
I don’t understand the purpose of having a physical store and Geek Squad if customers are not going to receive actual support when they come in. I highly recommend providing additional training or support for the Geek Squad team at this location so customers can have a better experience.
The front team was great, but overall I would highly recommend the Frederick Best Buy location instead. Their customer service and Geek Squad team have been much more helpful and provide a much better experience.
