Extended service plans from companies like Best Buy, Staples, etc., are mostly a misrepresentation and a scam. Here's how it works. The salesman will promise that your extended service plan will do everything including cook dinner for you when you grow old, just to get you to buy it. Whatever service scenario you propose, he'll swear it is covered. They know you want to believe him so you don't have to read the legal document that is the extended warranty. A year later when you bring your computer in, you will find that the guy no longer works there (he's now working at the T-Mobile kiosk at the mall) and everything he promised including stuff that reasonably should be covered is not. They will show you where it says so in the small print. If lightening strikes and your problem is actually covered then you'll receive the exhilarating experience of having your computer "fixed" by the Geek Squad. Look their reputation up online and experience a community of people besides themselves with contempt. Are there some honest people at these companies? Not if they try and sell you a service plan.
Geek Squad
The 3-card Monte players of the computer repair world. The stories I hear from my customers tell it all. The wild prices and ludicrous lines of bull they are serving up make them THE service to avoid. You will suffer less personal indignity and loss of income going to ANYONE but them.
… I picture the Geek Squad people taking your computer into the back and then spinning a big wheel with bogus diagnoses on it to see what they are gonna tell you.
Great local personal service and he got back to my right away. When Eddie showed up to my house he told me he lived just a mile or so away and we ended up having a lot in common. He made me feel comfortable right away and his rates were very fair. Eddie went above and beyond accommodating my special needs like no one else could or would!! The Computer Guy is your go to in Northern Colorado.
