    I'm gonna try to sum up the value of this place. I'm an early 80s kid who spent my youth at Roxy…read morewheels roller skating rink and the RC car hobby shop in the same plaza. Century Electronics was located in the same plaza. My friends and I would go in the store and look at all the hifi stereo equipment. This was probably nearing the end of the HIFI stereo era which produced the best iconic stereo equipment of all time. Needless to say we were tolerated even tho we couldn't afford anything in the store. Fast forward 30 years. My collection of stereo equipment was all manufactured before I was born by a good decade. It's the type of equipment that you get fixed and will never ever see the bottom up a dumpster. The number of individuals still alive with the skill to service these units and restore them to their glory is dwindling every year that goes by. Century Electronics has not 1, but 2 old school techs that can fix anything from Marantz receivers, McIntosh tube amplifiers to speakers all made before the Vietnam war. They take pride in their work and preserve quality by refusing to use cheap Chinese capacitors and other inferior parts. This is the only place I will take my equipment. Don't expect to walk in for the ABT style showroom with 100k of product. The back room repair shop is where it's at here.

    After reading all the lousy reviews I was a bit hesitant to consult the Geek Squad in Arlington…read moreHeights, but I'm pleased to report that they did a great job with 2 separate (PC desktop and laptop) services, one of which was fairly challenging. They were courteous, patient, accommodating, efficient, and faster than I expected. Hopefully, anyone who reads this recommendation and goes there for service will have a similar experience.

    What an experience…read more First off, I will be upfront and honest. We bought an open-box item from Best Buy. It was listed as Excellent Condition, and it was an 85-inch Roku TV, which is basically less of a television and more of a drive-in movie screen for your living room. When we got to the store, things started off beautifully chaotic. The sales associate scanned everything, checked us out, and then somehow gave us the wrong TV to load into our car. Thankfully, the mistake was noticed before we drove off with someone else's giant wall-sized entertainment portal. Another representative stepped in, helped bring the correct TV out, and even helped us load it into the vehicle, which I did appreciate. Now here is where the circus music starts playing. Because this was an open-box item, the entire TV was wrapped up in bubble wrap like it was being prepared for launch into outer space. The listing said all parts and accessories were included. The label on the TV said all parts and accessories were included. Let me say that again for the people in the back, all parts and accessories were included. So, naturally, we trusted that statement like fools in a Best Buy fairy tale. Since the TV was wrapped for protection and we still had to move it, we did not unwrap the entire 85-inch beast in the parking lot to conduct a full forensic investigation. We got it home, unwrapped it, admired the glorious size of it, and then realized something very important was missing. The Roku remote. Yes, the remote. The tiny little plastic magic wand required to operate the giant glowing rectangle we had just transported across state lines, emotionally speaking. Now, if this had been our local Best Buy, no big deal. We would have driven back, grabbed the remote, and moved on with our lives. But this was not our local Best Buy. We drove an hour and 45 minutes to pick this TV up. There is absolutely no universe where it makes sense to spend $25 in gas, lose half a day, and possibly need emotional counseling just to retrieve a remote that costs about $7. You can literally get two of them on Amazon for under ten bucks. So we called Best Buy immediately after realizing the remote was missing. The customer service representative told us we could go to any Best Buy location, pick up the Roku remote, and they would give it to us for free. Great. Problem solved, right? Wrong. The next morning, we went to our local Best Buy, which is about a mile away. They refused to give us the inexpensive Roku remote. Apparently, the $7 remote was being guarded like the Declaration of Independence. So we did the next logical thing and called the store where we bought the TV. That is when we discovered another fun Best Buy feature, you cannot actually call the store. You call what feels like a customer service maze designed by someone who hates both customers and service. We spent about 45 minutes on the phone. We asked for a supervisor. We were refused. Then we finally got a supervisor. Every single person said the same thing: there was nothing they could do because it was an open-box item. That would make sense if the item had been listed as "open box, maybe includes parts, maybe does not, good luck, bring your own remote and a priest." But that is not what it said. It said all parts and accessories were included. It said it online. It said it on the label. It said it clearly on the bubble-wrapped TV. Yet somehow, the responsibility for the missing remote became ours, because apparently "included" now means "included in spirit." So now we have an 85-inch Roku TV with no Roku remote, and Best Buy's solution is for us to drive an hour and 45 minutes back to the original store to retrieve a $7 remote. Needless to say, that is not happening. I ordered the remote on Amazon for $9.74, and it is being delivered the same day, because apparently Amazon understands the complicated business model of "customer needs thing, send thing." Today, Amazon wins customer service. Best Buy loses on every account. That is sad, because I have shopped at Best Buy many times. I have a Best Buy credit card. I actually like some of the perks. But perks do not matter much when customer service turns into a scavenger hunt for a remote control. So here is my advice: when Best Buy says an open-box item includes all parts and accessories, bring a magnifying glass, a checklist, a legal team, and maybe your own remote just in case. Because apparently "all accessories included" does not always mean all accessories are included. Have yourselves a fine and beautiful day, and I hope this review helps you decide whether you want to support Best Buy or let Amazon deliver the remote before Best Buy finishes transferring your call.
