Geek Squad

Store repair team

Geek Squad is Best Buy's tech support and repair service, offering installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance for electronics and appliances.

The name plays on "squad" as a team of specialists, with "geek" reclaimed as tech expertise rather than social awkwardness.

Agents wear distinctive black-and-white uniforms and drive branded vehicles: I had the Geek Squad set up my home theater.
