Don't ever go to Best Buy for car stereo installation. We scheduled an appointment and told them exactly what equipment we had and what needed to be installed. We paid the $215 up front. My son dropped his car off and was then told he needed to spend another $250 on wires because what he had wasn't correct. He agreed on that and then was told it's another $50. I then tried calling the store and was pushed through to a call center. I requested multiple times to talk to the install techs to understand the additional charges and was ultimately told they don't answer the phone and that I needed to make an appointment.
Ultimately, customer service was worthless. We got a refund on the install charges and are going elsewhere. DO NOT GO TO BEST BUY. Transparency and customer service don't exist there.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We can appreciate going to an appointment thinking that everything was ready to go, but then having additional unexpected charges, isn't welcome news. We'd like to look into this further with you.

Great service, got in and out quickly.
I had an uncomfortable experience at this location on Saturday. During checkout, the cashier (name tag said “Esme,” though she mentioned her name might be Victoria) had a Bible open on the counter and repeatedly asked us, “Do you know how much Jesus loves you?” three times during the transaction. After completing the purchase, she then asked if she could pray for us.
This felt inappropriate and awkward in a retail checkout setting. I’m not sure if this reflects store policy or an individual employee’s actions, but evangelizing at checkout made the experience uncomfortable and is not something I would expect during a routine purchase at Best Buy.
Employees were nice and helpful
