Radio Shack

Exceptional service! Dan is the man. See my full review under Coast Electronics.

I have lived in the area for 35 years and gone to the Morro Bay Radio Shack many, many times. I have gone with questions about my computers, my radios, and other electronic devices. Most recently I went in with a faulty IPHONE charger that I had paid $ 36.00 for while traveling in San Diego. They checked to make sure the cord was indeed the problem before selling me a new one for less than half what I had paid! No matter what the problem, or how small, these guys have been great. They are knowledgeable, patient and have answered my question every single time. I have known people to come from other towns in the county to this Radio Shack, it’s reputation is that good. If you live in Morro Bay or Los Osos (and even if you don’t), support our Radio Shack!

Radio Shack/​Coast Electronics is AWESOME!!! Customer service is over the top FABULOUS!!! Especially DAN McP. He’s amazing!!! I came in with a problem and eventually the mystery was solved. And what was the charge? NOTHING!!! I highly recommend this place!

These guys know their stuff and are extremely helpful. I walked in looking for a few things to finish up a project and was shown where the things I was looking for were located. The salesman was helpful but not hovering. I walked out with everything I came in for, plus a Superadio which is awesome. The same salesman suggested it because he had one himself. Good store, way better than the other Radioshacks in the area.

Every time I have gone into this store the short guy with the glasses has been nothing but rude. I would rather drive to SLO or Los Osos that deal with that a** again.

Better to go a little further and try the RS in Los Osos. When you go in this place they watch you like you’re a criminal about to steal some of their stuff… gives me a creepy feeling!

Hope this review gets read first! Coast Electronics is the one store that has true professionals who go out of their way to help their customers. Not only have I regretted not making more purchases there, I wish more people knew what a great resource they are. After years of shopping at Best Buy and other chains, I have finally found the right electronics store. Its beyond words how great they are and their prices are great too. Gratitude is what I feel now – and it’s been around for years and years. I just wish I had found them sooner!

Against my better judgement, I was hoping to save a trip to San Luis by shopping in town for a wireless adapter for my in-​laws’ Directv. I walked in and immediately got a weird vibe when the guy up front asked me what I was looking for. I explained to him what I needed and he looked at me like I was speaking Pig Latin. He told me they don’t sell Directv… WTF??? I didn’t ask about Directv. He then brought out «The Gimp», their store go-​to guy, some solder head that seems to live in the back store room and surfaces only to give bad info and direction to people. They tried to refer me to the Atascadero store but I told him,“Yeah, I’ll just go to Best buy… they have everything.”
Bottom line, if I need anything from there, I’ll go somewhere else.

WHAT A JOKE THESE GUYS ARE! I have been rebuilding a custom car and the last item to correct was the stereo. I have been looking at a particular system for over a month of shopping and comparing.
I made an appointment for the next day. When I came in the store I wanted to play with the demo while the stereo was being installed. The demo was gone. I told the shop owner I did not want a setero that was a year old. This is a used system. AND HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME FULL PRICE. Used stereos are 10 cents on the dollar.
i went to Lumbards and got a better deal and a better stereo. BUYER BEWARE THESE GUYS ARE RIP OFFS THEY SELL USED EQUIPMENT AS NEW.

I just want to know why every time I go to any of the Radio Shacks in the area, what ever I need is out of stock? I am not looking for a tube for my grandmother’s Victrola. I am just fixing a computer or electric things around the house. When I ask if I could order the needed part, the response is, «It should be in later this week». The «should be» part usually means I might as well order it on the Internet, have it shipped, and finish the project. This seems like a better bet then returning at the end of the week only to find that the «should have been here part» has not arrived. «It should be here later next week», is usually what I am told.
Maybe I am just looking for all the wrong stuff? But I do not need the amazing FlyTech™ Radio Controlled (RC) toy that flaps its wings like a real dragonfly or the Zipzaps Monster Truck RC Ford F-​350 BIGFOOT. But if I do, I know where to get them.
