One of the speakers in my car has been buzzing for a while if I turn the volume above the level of traffic noise. I had hoped that it was just something loose, but it turns out the speaker cone was actually torn. I could have had the dealer replace it for $57 plus installation, but that seemed expensive so after verifying that the job would be something I could tackle I decided to get a pair of replacement speakers at Best Buy and install them myself.
After selecting the speakers, the ever-helpful sales guy asked if I wanted them to install the speakers. I told him that I would do it myself, and he tried to discourage me from doing it by saying that I would have to "gut the interior" of the car, and that I would void the warranty by installing the speakers myself. I knew that the business of having to tear out the interior was crap, of course, and once I got the speakers installed I checked the warranty and sure enough that was a steaming pile, too.
Once again, Best Buy's service lives up to it's reputation.
