So as you can tell by the previous review, I was pretty impressed with the prices of various products on my last trip to Best Buy, but wow the costs for their services is ridiculous.
My parents bought me a car stereo on Christmas Eve. As I picked one over budget I paid for the installation. And as it was the last one on the shelf, I also bought the installation kit for my car since no employee was around to help me, I figured better safe than sorry. The kit was $22 and I was still charged $80 for the installation. So basically I paid $102 for the installation.
I was however impressed with the speed in which the stereo was installed. Forty-five minutes. But still $102 to install a $162 stereo?
Its my fault for not doing some shopping around first. Fry's Electronic has same stereo, $10 more and $20 install. Audio Express has the same stereo for $37 more with $1 install...
As you can see from my review on Absolute Computers in February, its common for Best Buy to charge such outrageous fees.

They also do window tint. 3 years ago I had old tint removed and new tint put in an old truck. It had 5 windows, cost $75. On a whim I asked what it would cost to have the 2 front windows (passenger and driver) get new tint (and have the old tint removed). Quoted price was $125. For two windows.
