No reason, just wouldn't let me use them. Then this short Asian guy comes over and was condescending. Just had a "here we go with another troubled customer" attitude. I just wanted to figure out why they weren't accepting the gift cards and I felt like he was just trying to show off to his other co-worker how to handle difficult customers. I presume one of the workers thought these Best Buy gift cards were illegitimate, but I don't know. Went home and ordered online with the gift cards. Worked fine. Passionately hated this place and glad they closed.

I'm glad that I got it.

They gave me back my computer with diagnostics fee being the only cost I paid (39 bucks at the time!) and she's back in working order! Really appreciated their ability to work around my schedule too.

You could easily spend a long time browsing around. I bought an invisible digital wall clock. They also support Macs and offer computer and hard drive repair services.

He bought some memory or computer gaming thing online and had the gentleman behind the counter. Check to make sure it was working. Granted he couldn't see exactly what was on the gaming cartridge until he got the rest of it up and running, but we bought the other remaining pieces of his computer here. Everything was incredibly organized and in lockboxes, but the employees were able to unlock and let you look or read the description of each item if need be. I wish I could give better details of all the computer pieces they had but honestly it's way over my head!! They literally had everything my son needed to make his own gaming PC! The last picture is my son's computer up and running. He bought the majority of the pieces here at Central computers!

My most recent trip was looking for a replacement stylus for my record player, some headphones for my bass, and another Odyssey case. They had a stylus in stock, and the long haired dude gave me a good recommendation on the headphones for what I was looking for. Prices are fair and they will do you a solid if they can!

I went to this place trying to get my computer diagnosed and repaired in July last year. The person…read moretold me very confidently that it was the issue of the fan, and the only thing needed was to replace it. Also, they promised a date when the fan would be available, and I believed it. However, when the day came, they said they would need another few days. Using the computer was very important to me, so I got annoyed and switched to another place. At the new place, I was told the issue with my computer was because of a completely different reason, and they helped me repair it smoothly. Glad that the delay helped me avoid further loss with this unreliable KY electronics. Unfortunately, although the diagnosis result was a complete error. I was not refunded for the diagnosis fee. Edit: The business owner replied saying that my job was on May 29, 2024, which is completely false. I wasn't even at the Bay Area during that time. Either he intentionally mixed me up with someone else or simply made up the story. Apparently, I have no point of making up a negative review if being satisfied as the customer, but the business owner has full motivation to respond to negative reviews by making up stories when he cannot reasonably dispute it, and it seems he has been doing it for many other reviews as well.

It turns out they're an electronics warehouse that are liquidators for Amazon, Walmart, etc. They sell tons of hardware that are new / used / refurb at amazing prices. Tai showed me around the warehouse which he said is generally closed to the public (and they do have public openings occasionally), which was just full of name-brand electronics (Apple, Logitech, etc), and a lot of their stuff can be up to 75% off. I was directed to a pallet of the items to pick out whatever I felt looked "best". He offered to open the item in front of me so I can inspect the contents (it looked open box but it was actually completely new!) and mentioned that there is a 30 day return policy if I should have any issues. I really encourage you to come by when they do have openings as I saw some awesome stuff like laptops, iPads, graphics cards, fully built computers, etc for sale.

Terrible experience with GeekSquad and with internal policy within BestBuy…read more GeekSquad: absolutely no supportive engagement or willingness to propose a conversation if you are walking in. Why offer walk ins (vs appointments) if you are not willing to help folks? In front of me was a senior gentleman who was struggling to even stand - they neither offered him a seat nor wanted to help his needs. Told him to come back 6 hours later and set an appointment. Check your video - he was in line longer than I was and I stood in line for 35 minutes. 8/19 ~11:00am Tomoki is the only guiding light for the day, so not ALL GeekSquad associates exhibit this behavior I am a member and ordered a I k cartridge via BestBuy. I was not told the order would be processed by a third party and that return cycles would be so complicated. That being said, they ordered the WRONG color and could not even exchange for the correct one (the one brought in was 17 days since delivery - policy is not beyond 15 days). Additionally, since the cartridge was purchased through a third party, I was told nothing could be done. How is an established company unable to make a simple exchange or make this situation right? This is not a service forward location (for the most part - the hostess did her best to help me). This is a location that only focuses on what goes out. Not the values driven, service forward company that is shared publically. The GeekSquad exists to specifically support customers. Why exist if you don't really want to help. Very disappointed.
