I got a new phone on Tuesday, today we picked out a new laptop for my wife her computer was older than my phone. We shopped around for the best prices and on Apple computers prices don't vary much so we went with service and Leon at Best Buy closed the deal for us. Leon was friendly, knowledgeable he knew his products and the services that Best Buy offers. Leon explained all the Apple Air features and answered our questions thoroughly. We were very satisfied. All the Best Buy associates were courteous and professional especially Leon. Thanks Best Buy read more

I bought a Samsung TV from Best Buy on line as it is hard for me to get out and I knew I wanted the same T V my brother has. Well now all the TV will do is a black and white picture. They said it would cost $85.00 for the GeekSquad to come out and if need be replace it. I said ok. They sent me the link to pay for it. So I used the same Chase card I bought it with and she told me they don't accept Chase cards of any kind. She asked me if I had another card. I didn't I don't like credit cards. She said you will have to go into your local store and pay for it first. I told her I'm disabled and I can't just go to the store and pay for it that's why I bought on line in the first place. Good luck getting in touch with anyone who can actually help you. read more

Downgrading from a 5 star because of Mia from "customer service" ironically failing to provide proper customer service, no manners, uncalled for attitude while I was trying to solve an inconvenience the company caused in the first place, she was also that same way towards her very nice staff, sad! read more

Best Buy - Bakersfield - Electronics Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great selection of electronics. Customer service is great, especially this time of year. Great sales going on. Between the weekly sales and mostly decent prices, it's pretty good value for your money. I definitely recommend the Total Tech membership for better product warranty. read more

Geek squad I called with an AppleWatch issue. I was told they could assist. I made an appointment. When I arrived I told them VERBATIM (because that's how my brain works) what I had said on the phone, but was told they could not assist me. I asked to speak to the manager. Instead the associate went to the back and then returned and told me his manager said the same thing. I left in disgust and frustration. I would give zero stars if I could. UPDATE NEXT DAY I returned to try and solve the same issue. These 2 ladies (see picture) were professional and knowledgeable. They completed the necessary first step to solve the issue. read more

Chanel and Breeana were so nice and helpful! If you have any questions they listen to what you want but they actually try to get you that without upselling or being weird salesmen. Nicest associates we've met so far!! read more

Bakersfield Best Buy On Feb 24, 2026 Chris Moar came to repair my Sony Home Theater Sound System at my home in Wasco. He was very knowledgeable and resolved all needed issues. He was very patient and thorough. He answered all questions promptly. Chris explained everything to the littlest detail. Which is rare today. He's a very excellent employee all around. And I am so thankful for his hard work and now my Sound System has outstanding theater sound thanks to him. Thanks again Chris! read more

Went into Best Buy to grab some upgrades for my PC and had a great experience. I picked up a 1TB external SSD, and Andrew helped me out and was super knowledgeable and patient. He made sure I got exactly what I needed for my setup, explained the differences between options, and even helped me find a few extra things that ended up being super useful. read more

Best Buy is your typical big box electronics store and help from the staff is not easy to find. The customer service line moves painfully slow as does the online order pick up line the last few times I've been there. (I would assume this line would take priority). Being that this is the only electronics store in town leaves much to be desired. Can we bring back Comp USA!? Or a Frys!? RIP. Prices are ok and it's nice they price match Amazon and other retailers. What I don't like -AT ALL- is they sometimes have special discounts for their annual PAY membership members "Best Buy plus" or "Best Buy total". Spend money to save money, I guess. read more

Isabel was our sales associate and she was an amazing help picking out a new tv! She made sure we were taken care of through the whole process all the way to checkout! read more

I ordered 3 products online. Only 2 of them were available for pick up at the time of this review.. Received the product from a Employee named M. I'm sparing her name, because I'm not that kind of person) the whole transaction it seemed to be forced as if she didn't want anything to do with anybody in my line. EMPLOYEE completely act like she didn't want to be there. And you could see it in her face and her expressions as well as her interaction with the 2 customers before me.. I had a second product pickup, and guess who I got for my concierge to pick up my item.? Just like my last experience? Yep... A one time thing?Nope... I think not employee M. exactly the same, I guess consistency is a good thing right. So I brushed it off, however, for my third item. I canceled it and chose to have it mailed so I wouldn't have to even deal with that person a 3rd time. This is why the review. Best buy managers & schedulers, read the room.. send in a secret shopper.. something...Please take this with that's much assurance you can , M. needs to be placed in a location where she doesn't have to deal with customers. other than that, the store employees around the store are very helpful and kind even though it seems as if there are less than ten employees approximately one for every customer in the store. Honestly, do what you want, however, if I do see that person at the front, and I have to interact with them I will be as respectful. As I normally am but I will post an update. This place has really fallen off since my visit in November 2024. My order: Great product once received and setup but I think I'll order somewhere else from now on.. read more

Geek Squad - I really don't understand what takes so long at this place. I needed a simple and already diagnosed (via the iphone's internal diagnostics) battery replacement. I setup an appointment in my iphone app. I show up 5 minutes before and still had to wait 15 minutes to be served. Jase the tech pretty much did not talk to me and just started running diagnostics. I guess this is so they can prove that the repair was justified. This takes 30 minutes. The iphone repair guy had to leave early for the day. Great! Now I have to come back in the morning. after everything is setup, it still takes another 30 minutes to check out. He told me the repair is like 30 mins but they have to quote 2 hours to be safe. Fine. I know from checking online it is 30-45 mins. I return the following morning right when they open because it is supposed to be a simple drop off. Nope! Trenton takes 20 minutes to verify that they actually have the part (glad he did, but why did it take so long). Then when I confirm the amount of time it will take, he says, it will be 3 hours if I am lucky. I don't know if this is because they are behind, or which guy actually knows what he is talking about. He says they have to heat it up and remove adhesive, and a bunch of other stuff. I already checked online, and it is supposed to be pretty simple. I don't know who to trust, and don't really care. I just want my phone fixed, I am willing to pay, and I don't want to make 4 trips, and wait a min of 30 mins each time, when I have an appointment. I will update this when I pick up the phone. At this point I avoided going the the Apple store because it is in the mall, but I am pretty sure they would have fixed it faster in one trip, thus saving me 2 hours of my life. UPDATE! Well, when you return to pick up your phone, you cannot just get it even when you have already paid. You have wait in line and even when you tell them it is a simple pick up they try to schedule you an appointment. It took 3.5 hours (probably because they had other items in front of mine), and then you go to pick it up and wait for 20 minutes again, and they tell you that they did not have the adhesive they needed to complete the repair. Then they say they will give you a discount if you bring it back tomorrow. No discount is worth the amount of time that has been wasted. I was going to give them two stars because everyone was very polite, but their whole way of doing business is incredibly slow and flawed. After this last waste of time I cannot. read more

Honestly not sure why this places get so much hate. Sure, it's another big box store. You probably know more than the average employee that works there. Anytime l've gone in, it's never been a terrible experience. If you do research on what you want and stock check it ahead of time, it's pretty painless. It's one of the last tech stores we have and the only place to physically see/experience big ticket tech items. Overall it's an average big box store experience, neither terrible nor something to write home about. read more

Came in looking for a washing machine the associate Frank was really helpful I was trying to pay with a affirm card and when that didn't work out he gave me another option of opening up a credit card when that did not work out he told me about another plan that they had which I actually was approved for so I walked out of there with not only a new washing machine but a new dryer as well Thanks Frank. read more

RE GEEK SQUAD Horrible service, do not trust them with any of your Apple device/electronic repair needs! Terrible lack of any tech skills or they simply want to scam you into buying new devices. At the recommendation of Apple support, I was scheduled for an appointment to take my iPhone 11 in to Best Buy to be tested by a Geek Squad associate as it had recently died and would not charge/turn on. The lady took my phone to the back to "run some tests" for approx. 6-8 minutes and comes back saying it's a goner, only thing I can do is send my phone to Apple (with years of important data) and I would get a replacement model for $600 in 7-14 days. I felt that was a poor solution so I kept my phone and left and I'm so glad I did! One call to a local phone repair man and $70 for a new battery was all I needed. By this time I had already purchased a $1300 new iPhone to replace my "goner" 11 but thankfully Apple accepts returns up to 14 days. To think I could have lost all my digital memories and access to data/apps and spent $600-1300 after being misinformed/lied to about the status of my phone from a "Geek Squad professional" is diabolical and they should be ashamed of themselves. After relaying my experience to Apple employees and the tech man, they also agreed that they do not trust geek squad to do any type of quality work or diagnostic. DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANY SERVICE NEEDS. 0/10 read more

holy heck.. what a mess this store is.. Dont make the mistake of getting in the wrong like to check out. there is one line for online orders and another to the side for regular in store purchases. There seemed to be quite a few employees running around, but only one person checking people out.. Line about 15 folks deep and nobody is going anywhere fast.. I hate to say it, but I dont see this store hanging around much longer if they cant provide any better customer service than they do.. read more

I'm really not sure why they have a separate line for online order pickup and no cashier. I waited in a line and was ignored until the cashier finished a line of store purchases. Then the greeter decides to yell at me from his posted area that he could get my order. I won't be back nor recommending this location to anyone. read more

Geek squad - takes a looooong time to get someone on the phone. When we did, she had a very heavy accent and we had to constantly ask her to repeat everything thing which was frustrating for us and for her. We never could understand what she asked us to do, and she wouldn't get anyone else on the phone. After our call our printer was now totally unconnected so we had to reconnect to our computer. I finally called and they said they would have to come to our house and we had to pay 99 dollars for the privilege of having them over, regardless of what they had to do. Even though we got the printer 3 months ago and payed the hefty charge to have so called free repairs for the year. Very disappointing that we're stuck with them for the year but in the future we will go somewhere else for our technology needs. Best Buy is the worst and their geek squad is a joke. read more

Shopped for, and bought new 50" mini-LED TV. JASON HARDY assisted us. He was incredible! We went on a walking tour through the TV section and he explained: a) different brands-strengths and weaknesses; b) different technologies; c) how price impacted quality; d) what units were within our budget range. HE TOOK US FROM UNIT TO UNIT EXPLAINING AND DESCRIBING EVERYTHING. He NEVER tried to push us towards a unit outside our budget. We bought unit, installed the next day, and so far [knock] are very pleased with it. If you want a new TV, ASK FOR JASON HARDY. read more

I set an appointment for iphone battery replacement. I have warranty through Apple and set the appointment through my coverage page. I show up early and wait in line for service. I get sat down and have my phone ran through diagnostics and so on. I spend 40 minutes waiting while the employee checks the back to see if they have my battery in stock. Red flag right there when he said he was going to check. He gets back and says they don't have it and it'll take 5 days. I work 6-7 days a week including the day I came in to get the battery replaced. I set time aside to handle this and I get my time wasted completely. They said I can check with the Apple Store. Are you kidding me? They no joke lived up to the embarrassing reputation many agree on. read more

Was searching for a Switch 2 everywhere and Bakersfield, and could not find one for the life of me. I entered Best Buy as a long shot, and asked workers for some help. They were able to help me buy one that had recently been returned. Big thanks to Josuany for all of your help! He was very kind and eager to assist me. Great experience! read more

Terrible on all levels. Not the company that I used to work for 12 years ago. Nothing in stock or it can't be ordered. Don't know about value when you cannot find any item for sale. read more

I was so disrespected at this location. They asked me if i had questions about the laptop i was considering buying for my kid. I was asking for a comparison between a MS surface vs a Dell. The guy just started asking my kid what they will use it for. Paid no attention to me; So i just stood there and then walked away. How rude!! Never will go in that store ever again. Its not a best buy; its disrespect store. Didnt buy the laptop. read more

On August 7, I purchased a 24 inch iMac desktop computer they ordered ... The clerk told me it was 2024 model and sold me the $179.99 Best Buy membership (stating I could cancel anytime) and the August 14th computer arrived and I had to call an 800 number to cancel my $179.99 membership but they would only give me a partial refund when I was informed that I would get a full refund. Also found out the computer was a 2023 model and not a 2024 so misrepresentation and poor customer service !!! I will stick with Costco for future purchases and not shop at Best Buy!!!! read more

Worst customer service experience of my entire adult life. I waited in line for 45 minutes and then the clerk said I'm going on break and she literally left with a line of 25 or more people with no one to cover it so we sat there for another 10 minutes with no one checking a single person out till I literally said forget this I'm never buying at Best Buy again absolute shenanigans read more

Wow. Where is circuit city when you need them? Oh closed. Today i walked in the best buy and was greeted by 3 employees right away. I was pointed to tje camra area after asking for a tripod. After picking one out i walked to the front so i could pay. Unfortunately there was only one employee trying to help 2 different lines. She was way over her head. The line was atleast 8 people when i left. One guy and his wife both said they waited 30 minutes. I guess i got lucky. 15 minutes after getting in line i was paying and ready to go. The gal that helped me was friendly and its not her fault that no other staff was thete to help. Horrible job by management. But by looking at the other reviews. Its clear they dont care. Sad stuff. read more

Glad when we are just human and have manners to boot. :). Thx again. We will be back. Blake thx read more

I've honestly never had a bad experience at best buy. All of these other reviews that I see that are so negative probably comes from people above 75 with no patience when it's busy. Yes some people can be slow but to go on a 5 paragraph rant is insane. Like I said always had a good time coming to the location. Side note: don't expect great customer service when you're a terrible human being. Also if you can't see what line is which, that's your own fault. read more

I gave it one star because I have to. I will never shop here again line is almost to the back of the store and maybe three registers open. I say that because someone is standing but no one is there to wait on him. This is absolutely ridiculous read more

I had a complicated transaction that took me three trips to Best Buy to resolve. However, the customer service was always great and very helpful. Beatrice, Richard, and Brandon made this otherwise tough situation a pleasant one. They made sure all my questions were answered and helped me get the discount I was looking for. read more

Just Like A Sports Team................ Get rid of everyone starting from the top. I spoke to a manager today and she was horrible. She walked off and didn't ask if there was something else I needed. She condoned the rudeness of her staff. I see where the staff get it from.........The boss. It's very sad when someone represents your company and behaves like what ever. She responded like I was bothering her and it made me feel like I could not go to her for help, solutions or advice. She was far worse than the initial complaint. read more

Horrible business practices. Husband bought a tv to replace his garage tv. Brought it home took the old one down and put the new one up only to find out it did not work. Took back to Best Buy the next morning and was told no return no refund as the tv had an impact point. If Best Buy is not going to test these tvs as you buy them how can they hold you responsible. They told him he had to talk to manager waited one hour for manager and was told one was not available. No refund no store credit, they kept the tv and he is out almost $200. How is that fair??? Will never buy anything from them and will warn every person I know not to patronize this store! read more

Horrible customer service , went to buy a laptop but when i wanted to see what was recommended there was no employee around and i had to look online to figure out. Then when i chose the laptop i was told they didn't have it in stock NOR was it available to order. So now i had to look for another laptop and still had nobody to help me and seemed that there was groups of people who also needed help yet no employee was present. I was there until the store closed due to the fact that no body helped and they couldn't find the laptop that i decided to go with. read more

I would give them zero stars if possible. First, you call the LOCAL number and still can't talk to a real person until 12 prompts later. Then you get transferred to another department where you pray a real, English speaking person will answer the phone. Unfortunately it appears that you have been transferred overseas because you can hardly make out every other word!!! Again, I called the local number!! Anyway, I ask my questions and instead of a yes or no or A # I can call, I get schooled on reading on their website the answer. I was supposedly talking to a member of the Geek Squad and the idiot had no idea how to answer a question. After 10 minutes of the Hokey Pokey on the phone, I gave up and thanked God I had not spent one dime buying a TV at Best Buy. They truly hire idiots and unhelpful ones at that. Glad I am now enjoying a 70" Samsung TV from AMAZON!!!!! read more
