I live in Oklahoma, in the Tuskahoma area, and this computer is for my 84-year-old grandmother. During a holiday visit and extended work stay, I initially brought her PC to Geek Squad on December 19, 2025 for service.
When I was able to return on January 23, I was informed that the workmanship warranty had expired and that I would need to repurchase the service. This did not seem appropriate, considering the issue had not been resolved properly the first time.
When I returned to pick up the PC, I specifically asked that it be powered on so I could verify that a fresh operating system had been installed, as discussed. Unfortunately, the computer does not have a completed operating system installation or system restore. As it stands, we are in a worse position than when we first brought it in.
I was also told that Best Buy’s service line is not connected to Geek Squad, and that because Best Buy refunded my purchase amount during the second visit, this automatically triggered a “stop work” decision. This was never clearly explained beforehand.
At this point, I simply want resolution. If the store cannot ship the PC, I am requesting that a carrier be arranged to pick it up from the store. I currently have four open case numbers and have not received a single call or email with a proposed resolution.
This situation has been exhausting and disappointing, especially given that this computer is for my elderly grandmother. I am not even asking for accountability, just a clear path forward.
