He emailed to find out what I wanted to do in terms of services, recommended all the equipment I needed for WiFi, for my streaming service on TVs. Communications with him were excellent from beginning to the end. When I finally got my services set up, Paul came to set up my router and WiFi, each television set and made sure all my electronic devices like my laptop were functioning. He did a great job of explaining what he was doing, what the equipment was for and patiently answered all my questions. He trained me on using the new services and equipment. He was so considerate of my expenses, he removed the batteries from the equipment I had to return so I could use them. I was totally satisfied with the service he provided and highly recommend him.

Because the line was busy at the time, I liked that there was an option on their phone line to request a call back. I didn't have to wait long for the call back which was about 15 minutes. The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was very gracious and helpful and he told me that one of the tech guys would call me to make an appointment to come by my home to look at my computer. He said it would be a day or two but I received a call from Mark to make an appointment within 10-15 minutes. I was impressed. Mark arrived right on schedule at six in the evening. It only took about 45 minutes for him to resolve the issues on my laptop. He gave me some great suggestions on caring for my laptop from what kind of spyware/malware software to use to making an appointment to have my laptop cleaned. I like that I was able to get in home service within a few days since my laptop troubles began and the service that was provided. I thought the cost was reasonable. I definitely will be using Geekatoo in the future whenever I have issues with my computer.

First was the network setup. Brandon, one of the co-owners, came over and set it up quickly and told me what to do if I ever unplug the system to start it up again. Then he mounted my smaller tv in my bedroom above my closet and created spots in the wall to hide the wires and tied them down do I can't see them at all. For the living room he recommended Sony as the only tv I should ever go with so I got one through him and he mounted that as well, also keeping the wiring very neat and descrete. I was honestly impressed by the speed and precision of knowing where was best to mount it based on my couch and what would look best at that eye level. I would definitely recommend Northstar with any technology or network set ups.

Several automated emails, texts and information sent that I needed to fill out & respond to in order to ensure the appointment would go swimmingly. As advertised, I get a text the night before the appointment stating the arrival window to be between 1:30 & 5:30pm. Game on. On the day of, a notice arrives that allows you to "see" a closer window for arrival. It suggests that 2:20pm is a likely arrival time. I arrive at the installation location roughly 2:30 anticipating a simple and smooth install and music streaming throughout the home inside of an hour. About 3:30 I attempted to find the screen that shows updated arrival time and the website suggests there is no appointment scheduled. I call and the system states that it appears I am waiting on an appointment and to go to the website for any updates. No texts, no emails received since an early morning text. I call back. Go through the maze of prompts. The unintelligible person on the other end, states that the appointment had been cancelled because the part I bought a week earlier had not arrived. Understanding that I won't be back to music filling the home this afternoon, I suggest to the off-shore "employee" that if the part hadn't arrived, then why the text the night before and note the day of regarding the nice little 4 hour window was still being planned for our friends from GeekSquad (a BestBuy affiliate) later in the day. This prompted or shall I say the computer prompted the "employee" to suggest that I would have received an email with any changes in the process. Yep, sorry but I never did. This was promptly followed by a demand that they cancel the entire order and that I indeed will wait for the communication to come across showing the refund in full to my account. Lo and behold that came through nearly immediately. So a painless effort of ordering and setting up an appointment online, leads to 3 hours away from productivity and absolutely no progress in fixing the issue. My strong opinion is to never purchase, order, or plan to visit or schedule an appointment with either BestBuy or their service arm GeekSquad. please avoid the pain of attempting to deal with this hometown (I live in Minneapolis) company. Simply a miserable experience. NOT A BEST BUY. Unfortunately difficult to give less than a 1star rating.

He recommended starting with a new router to go with our mesh system, and some other troubleshooting steps, as well. I'm sure this is just the beginning as we have many opportunities to make our home smarter and simpler to use. Even though I didn't put any money in his hands today, he could not have been more helpful or friendlier or more willing to help.
