Geek Squad started in 1994 with $200, a cellphone and a bike. The bike eventually gave way to a car — the iconic Geekmobile.
From pistachio-green to black-and-white, the Geekmobile has always played a key role in building the Geek Squad brand. The new Geekmobile, a Toyota Prius c, continues that tradition with its sleek design and a bigger, bolder Geek Squad logo.
Geek Squad Agents make more than 5 million house calls a year to make consumer electronics and appliances work the way people want.
As technology evolves, so too must Geek Squad and its iconic Geekmobile.
We started out helping customers with their home computers and driving classic cars to get there. But now we help optimize home theater systems, create fast and secure home networks, and harness the power of the Internet of Things with smart home products.
So it’s only fitting that we have a new Geekmobile that is itself innovative — the Toyota Prius c hybrid, adapted with a custom toolkit to help Agents perform that growing range of in-home services.

MINNEAPOLIS, August 1, 2011 – Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY), a leading retailer of consumer technology, praised the introduction of the Main Street Fairness Act (S.F. 1452) that allows states the ability to require all retailers – including remote sellers – to collect sales taxes due.
The Durbin bill grants states with simplified sales tax codes the authority to apply sales tax collection obligations fairly to all sellers.
