YACT: Would you trust Best Buy to install a stereo?

[Liviathan]

I have a stereo that needs to be installed...the one shop near my house is very high end and I think they are charging me like it. Best Buy is also near by.....I am sure they will be much cheaper...just worried about quality.

Anyone have experience with them?

No, because I'd do it myself. It's fairly simple.

As long as you don't pay with $2 bills, you should be OK.

Same here. I actually managed to install mine, and I know nothing about cars.

i wouldnt. they put just about anyone back there, and if you do, take pictures before hand of your car, inside and out, and date them. and then when you get it back, if there is a screwdriver etch acrosss the dash, then you have a reason to be pissed, otherwise there is no way to know if they did it or no.

I did... everything works fine and is decent except one speaker cuts in and out every now and then... I haven't taken the door panel off to check it, so I'm just going to assume it's the speaker and not their shotty work...

What these guys said. Even if you have NO clue, I would figure an absolute worst case scenario of four hours to put it in. Best case scenario about forty minutes.

The problem though, is that you won't know if they will do shotty work until you get your car back. I knew someone that worked at BB and they said that the store they worked at would put cashiers in the install department to cover for people who called in sick.

It's a crap shoot.

Oh well, my mp3 player still works so I'm not going to worry about it... I wont have my blazer that much longer anyways so if something goes wrong big deal...

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

Yes, but I would also have no problem taking them to court if they messed anything up.

Hell no. If you want it done right, do it yourself.
