believe i have good computer repair skills but i still was a little scared, it is the geek squad so i imagine that you need to be an expert, so i asked in my job interview about trainig, and the manager for the geek squad department told me that, they dont give any training, that you get in with what you now and the rest you learn as you go.</i></p><p>we had machines and \"things\" for reparing computers that we never used because we did not know how, i remeber i saw there was a compress air machine, i tought it was for tires but no it was an official geek squad computer air cleaner, after a year of the geek squad beeing open, it had never been used, and i have countless stories.</p><p>i just felt wrong chargin people so much money for the shitty job we did, and if you asked the manager (mister computer brains) he got mad.</p><p>i HATE BEST BUY</p><p>ps: when i left, i stole 5 memory sticks</p><p>i deserve them for doing more than the others</p>        </div>	<div

Salesman said, \"We offer a free 'tuning' service that will increase your laptop processing power by 20%.\" I said, sure; go ahead. When I asked for details on what they were changing or tweaking, I was told it was proprietary information. I watched the GeekSquad tech pull a thumb-drive from his pocket and started tweaking the registry, etc.</p><p>I get the laptop home and certain things don't work such as LightScribe. Worse than that, I am presented with errors while the desktop is loading. I only wish I kept a detailed list of all the things I discovered that GeekSquad completely f-ed up on my laptop. I can tell you this; they disabled a handful of key Windows Services which, per my aforementioned example, is why LightScribe was not working amongst other things.</p><p>They even talked me into installing TrendMicro's antivirus/firewall suite as well as Spy Sweeper. After a few days of UTTER CHAOS on my system, I placed a support email to TrendMicro who was quick to say their product should not / could not exist in tandem with Spy Sweeper.</p><p>GeekSquad are amateurs at best. Anyone who didn't have a bit of technical savvy would never have figured out what was wrong with their laptop, post-geek 'tuning'.</p><p>What a disaster. I highly recommend NOT using GeekSquad or any other service that REFUSES to tell you exactly and precisely what changes were made to YOUR computer.</p><p>WestChaser</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(2817256, 'Westchaser')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>");
