Bad service, even when the store is dead I'm waiting over 10min for assistance. So, I walk to the front to let the people at the door know I need help and they say they'll let somone know. Another 10 min later, a different associate notices me standing there and finally asked if I need help. Horrible customer service. Honestly, I should have left.
Helpful staff, good location and decent prices.
booked an official Apple iPad "Drop Off" appointment on: * Sunday, November 30 -- 3:40 PM MT * Best Buy SW Tucson, 5311 S Calle Santa Cruz, Tucson, AZ 85706
I walked in expecting my iPad to be inspected by Geek Squad technicians. What I got instead was a 5-second verdict.
The associate literally handed the device back, saying the repair would be "expensive" and that I should buy a new iPad-- without opening it without testing it without diagnosing the actual issue without even trying to check A DROP OFF appointment. And zero inspection happened.
Then came the real twist.
When I purchased the Best Buy Total Tech / repair subscription on 4/4/2025, I was clearly told: ANY electronic device (laptops, iPhones, Android phones, tablets, etc.) is covered for 1-year repairs -- regardless of where it was purchased.
At the counter I was told the opposite: Only devices bought from Best Buy, and only if purchased AFTER the membership date, are eligible for repair coverage. So basically: what was sold to me what is being delivered to me.
Today felt less like customer service and more like: "Don't repair it... replace it.
And buy it from us." Is this the new support model? Deny service skip diagnosis push new sales?

The employee named Hector provided very poor customer service and did everything unwillingly. Because of this experience, I will not be returning to shop at that store.
