Geek Squad — Local services in La Quinta

On 2 separate occasions (one was yesterday) I took my computer in and was told that somehow I had lost all my data going back to 2103. I was told that they would need a week and many billable hours to assess what was wrong and that they may not be able to recover my data. I left my computer there late last year - they said they could not recover my data so I took my computer back.

A friend told me about a computer repair place here in La Quinta so both times I took it there and both times, within a matter of minutes (the first time) and seconds (the second time) they found all my current data.

The GS phone reps should learn some customer service skills from Eric and his coworker Salvador (who called to confirm my...

It was a waste of time. I went to get my airpods checked out and was helped by a young gentleman, but he wasn't any help at all. He told me that my airpods needed an update (which I've never heard of) and that they needed to be updated by an iPhone (which I don't own one). He told me that he couldn't do the update himself because they were going to close in 30 minutes and sent me home with a set of instructions. I could've googled it myself. I would give them a...
