Not sure if it’s this Best Buy or the surrounding area or what’s going on but every time I walk into this store I’m greeted with what feels like contempt.
First time I came in the lady at customer service:
I can help you -.-
Me: hi!
I can help you…-.-
Second time I went to buy 2 tvs and the guy:
Me: yea what’s the difference between these 2 tvs? :)
Him: well I guess this one just has a bit higher quality of whatever…. ( I don’t remember his exact words but they came with a tone that suggested I should hurry and get out )
Employees can be more helpful.
Do not get a car stereo installed here. Don’t get anything car audio installed here. I had a whole day wasted by the tech Luis. Literally sat there for over 6 hours after being quoted 2 hours. Dude had no idea what he was doing, kept calling people and sending pictures to try and figure it out. It’s a car stereo with a harness, no new speakers or anything crazy. The worst part was his refusal to take any accountability. At hour 6 he had the nerve to say “Yeah these new Sony head units are a pain. Another tech told me I shouldn’t even take the job”. It’s literally a Sony head unit that’s consistently voted top 5 of 2025. People all over Reddit singing its praises and doing home installs yet somehow it’s the product, not the incompetent tech right? Then the manager, after I’d been sitting there for 6 hours, never said sorry we wasted your day, never said they would make it right or get a different tech to install the stereo, he just refunded me without a word.
Then I went to Crutchfield in Charlottesville and they had the new stereo, new backup camera, and a new HDMI outlet installed in less than 2 hours. Seriously save yourself the headache and go anywhere else.
