An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Garmin phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Garmin staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Garmin is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday. Again, this is based on a sample of 7,802 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.

The best time to call

In summation, the best day to call Garmin is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Garmin staffs the call center well on Thursday.

I frequently watch those videos online people film while they're inside their vehicles, and have always wanted one. While I'm not sure anything interesting will happen, I sure don't want to miss it if does. My daughter knows that I watch dash cam videos all of the time, so I suspect that's why she bought me one for Christmas. However, the one she bought arrived in the mail and when I powered it on, it said that I need to update the maps. I'm not tech savvy at all, and this might be the fanciest thing I own outside of my cell phone.

Therefore, I figured I was going to have to call Garmin and get help figuring out how to do it. I managed to get the device hooked up to my Wi-Fi connection, which I assume it will need to update, but can't figure out what to do from this point forward. Garmin makes a lot more products than just dash cams, so I'm sure they get a lot of phone calls. I just needed about 10 minutes of someone's time, so I was hopeful the wait wouldn't be too bad. In reality, it was only about 10 minutes, so it certainly could have been a lot worse than it was. 

After dialing this number, a voice assistant picked up and stated, "Thank you for contacting Garmin’s support department. For questions about your Garmin products, press 1. For Garmin’s business offices, press 0." I needed Garmin products so I pressed 1, and was then greeted again for calling Garmin's support center. This time, the phone assistant wanted to know what it could help me with. It listed a long line of services from returns to exchanges to product support to refunds and map updates. 

When I heard map updates my ears perked up. That was exactly what I needed so I chose that option and then had to choose which product I had. I stated the Garmin Mini 2 dash cam and then I was placed on hold to talk to the next representative. The messaging while I waited told me that I could go online to support.garmin.com, but I waited because I wanted to talk to someone. It was worth it because Alicia picked up and spoke very good English. She walked me through the process of updating my maps, and once I hung up the phone my dash cam was ready to go. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and if I have problems again I'll be calling back.
