for iphone 6s repair with Applecare plus, should I take to Apple or Best Buy for the repair?

Bought iPhone 6s and Applecare in Sept. 2015 at Best Buy, now need repair because phone will not power on after fell into water. Also, SIM card will not come out.

I would go for Apple in this case. Just make an appointment with the nearest store. I have a feeling you will be helped faster at the store. This could be either a repair or a replacement.

Another vote for Apple. Your warranty (AppleCare) is with them and you'll get the best results.

Apple all the way. They very rarely send iPhones out for servicing, especially iPhones that have been dipped in water.

This makes 5 for Apple!!! Doesn't matter where you bought the device, they'll service it for you.

I would agree with everyone else who suggested going to the Apple Store.

A few months ago I accidentally dropped my 6s at a McDonald's and cracked the screen. I went right to the Apple Store and got it fixed within 2 hours and without an appointment. Since I had Apple Care the cost was $129 instead of $169 without it.
