My first car that I owned was a Pontiac Grand Am. I loved it…read more My friend had got a remote car starter for his car installed at this Advance Electronics. When you live in Winnipeg, it's nice having a car starter when the temperature is -40°C in the winter before you factor in the windchill. I followed suit. I had no idea how to install a remote car starter. You can buy the kit and do it yourself if you are savvy. I had a knowledgeable male staffer lead me the way to the selection of car starters. Once I chose the one that suited my needs, he booked an appointment to have my car starter installed. It took a couple of hours to have it installed. I ended up dropping off my car and then waiting for it by having lunch at an eatery that is sadly gone. It had the best spaghetti pie that I have ever had. I was pleased with my car starter. The left button started my car. I could be a few blocks away and it would start without fail. It was cool and much needed when it was frigid outside. I had an outdoor parking spot where I lived, so starting my car remotely was nice. I was recently at a spa to get a manicure while on vacation. Advance Electronics was across the street, which brought back fond memories of owning my first car and having a remote car starter installed. Since I moved back to Markham, I have never had the need for a car starter. It would be a nice perk, but it's not as cold here to merit shelling out for one. (321)

On July 6th, I went to the Contact Us section where there is no direct email, but there is a…read moresection called "GO AHEAD, ASK US ANYTHING". I provided the necessary contact information and requested assistance in describing how to disconnect a TV from a wall mount that was installed by Advance in 2018. To date, I have not even received any kind of response. So I guess you can ask them ANYTHING, just don't expect a reply. Al Brockmeyer

I love London Drugs. It is a western Canadian company. Its lone store in Manitoba is at St. Vital…read moreShopping Centre in Winnipeg. What exactly is London Drugs? It's not just a drugstore. It has houseware, electronics, cosmetics, and a small number of grocery items. I drop by this store whenever I am in town. There is plenty of parking at this mall. I walked into the mall and London Drugs was staring at me. It's next to a sushi restaurant, which I have flagged. I recall the RBC ATM at London Drugs. It was modern, but only allowed cash withdrawals. It is by the store entrance, on the right when you're walking in.. I immediately hit the cosmetics section. I loved all the nail polish and lipsticks. The selection of brands and colours was great. I got lost in housewares. I love small appliances. I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, it has everything from frying pans, to hot dog toasters and steamers. I wanted to get the Peanuts hot dog steamer, but didn't know how to bring that back on a plane! I love this store's electronic section. I love looking at laptops and accessories. There was also an extensive DVD section and I hope that it's still there. The electronic section is in the far left corner when you walk through the store entrance. Next to this section is the cell phone and television area, where you can get them and accessories. It's a cool place to be. It was summertime. Naturally, I had to look at food-shaped pool floats. The chocolate-covered pretzel pool float looked pretty cool. I ended up getting two huge bottles of Minions banana Tic Tac candies. They were cute and tasted yummy. The cashier who help me out was friendly. There were a couple of people in front of me. The wait wasn't all that long. I do miss this store. I hope to come back to check it out and have some sushi next door. (136)

This location is just horrible. They don't really have people around to ask questions and when you…read moredo find someone they either don't understand the question or maybe it was the prudct idk, but i thought we were pretty clear in saying "We're looking for a Samsung or Sony TV that is around 55" or bigger that is 4K and under $1400" that was clear right? i don't get where the confusion was? anyways since they kept showing us all these terrible tiny TV's around 30-40" we just left and didn't buy one from there, instead got it from somewhere else. Another issue I have is they ask you to get warranty on everything even things you don't need it for. Then there's how you can't get a hold of any bloody person ever! their phones just say you have to go to the store, because yeah i'm gonna bus all the way down there just to see if you have what i'm looking for? yeah, no i'm not doing that like ever, i'd rather get it from amazon then. Not everyone drives and not everyone even people who do drive want to waste bus fair or gas on a trip down there just to see if something is in stock. This is so ridiculous. Especially for people with social anxiety or people like my sibling who is Autistic and can't be asking for help in a store, calling is hard enough for them but like this shop doesn't care. Best buy needs to get phones again! i will stop shopping here until that happens.
