Default Best Buy Stereo Install

So the other day I went looking for a new car stereo. I found one at Best Buy for 154.99. An Alpine 9843. Its really nice. Today I went back to buy it with a 12% off coupon. Grand total after two coupons was 205.24 I also had to get a wire harness and an adaptor kit, as well as The Killers CD. I dropped my car off for them to install it at about 1 lets say, it was a bit earlier than that. 6 hours later I went back to pick it up because we called and they said they were almost done. 2 and 1/2 hours later they were finally done! I get into my car and it sounds WONDERFUL!!! The only good thing they did the whole day. As I was about to leave I realized my cigerette lighter wasn't working. They tested a bunch of stuff on it before pulling it back in. 15 minutes later they had it hooked up.

So all in all, Best Buy installations are SLOW!!!! It took them only 45-60 minutes to put in the cd player. The rest was taking it out and random bs.

:lmfao: it would have taken him 5 mins. to delegate the work. Aaron got too much clout at work to dirty up his pretty hands.

if it's a stock replacement and they took that long, then they really don't know what the hell they are doing... :nono:

They really don't know what the hell they're doing. It seemed like they did. Maybe they were dropped on their heads as a child many many many times each day.
