Most stores do not offer installation services anymore. Car installations are becoming a bygone era as most people drive cars manufactured within the last 10-15 years. Those cars routinely have CarPlay/Bluetooth already making installations an obsolete service. In the next few years, you will see BBY stop that completely.

r/Bestbuy on Reddit: Question on Car Radio Installs
March 18, 2024 -

Hey yall,

Just set an appointment today to have a stereo installed. I purchased the stereo from Best Buy to qualify for the free install. My car has both a backup cam and steering wheel controls. I went out of my way to purchase a full install kit with the wiring harnesses (stereo, backup cam, steering controls, usb adapter etc), dash kit, the whole nine yards.

When I was scheduling the appointment, the fella let me know that I would still have to pay for the labor on the steering wheel controls ($64.99) and for the backup cam ($149.99)

Do I really have to pay 150 for them to join a few wires to my existing OEM backup cam? It seems absurd and at that rate I’d rather go through the process of doing it myself. Any feedback would be appreciated!

April 21, 2025 - You really need to figure install price in with your budget from the beginning, not as something to cheap out on at the end. ... I had them do the audio in my mustang. I had it done for “free” since I’d paid for the membership with best buy. It was done in 2021 and it’s still going hard today. ... They hooked my friends 2200W monoblock to the fuse box and his car burnt up on the side of the highway.

August 15, 2021 - For immediate help, please contact Best Buy at 1-888-237-8289 or bestbuy.com/contact-us ... It's not right. Chat and call center suck due to no training in services. I would order the deck, wire harness, dash kit, and steering wheel controls online, then set an appointment for anytime after those items are supposed to arrive. Also, a sat radio install schedules 45 minutes but that deck is an advanced deck install which can be 1 hour 15 minutes up to 2 hours.

r/CarAV on Reddit: Does bestbuy service car radio installation?
December 1, 2024 -

I’m planning to install an aftermarket car radio in my 2017 Honda Accord. The unit I ordered just arrived today, and I tried installing it myself, but I don’t have the proper tools, so I’m thinking about getting it installed at Best Buy.

On their website, I see a service called "In-Dash Car Stereo Installation" for $130. Is this the right service for installing an aftermarket head unit? Has anyone used Best Buy for this kind of installation before?

Also, how do I make an appointment for the installation? Can I book it online, or do I need to call or visit a store?

r/Bestbuy on Reddit: Best Buy/Total Tech for car stereo with warranty
February 4, 2023 -

I have an '08 Porsche Turbo that needs the head unit replaced. I have an extended warranty (non-factory) that will cover the replacement. I'll be paying upfront and the warranty company will reimburse me later. However, they'll need to talk to the installer and depending on the cost (if it's over $1,000), they'll send an appraiser out to inspect. Is this something that Best Buy can do?

Also, I have Total Tech from a TV purchase a few weeks ago. What type of savings or benefits would I realize when using Best Buy's car stereo services. Thank you in advance.

Answer (1 of 5): For starters, I don't suggest doing it yourself unless you have at least some experience with that kind of thing. Sometimes though, even if you don't you can pull it off if you are good on you tube. The others are right. It's a real crap shoot with installers. Had best buy instal...
