“I have used Guru Aid for several months now”

I have used Guru Aid for several months now. They do an excellent job assisting me and fixing my computer when it is slow or has any type of problems. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone that needs help with their computers. They are also very courteous and patient.

“Very questionable!”

I thought I was calling ESET. After letting them have remote access and paying $110, I am finding the next day that a lot of the clean up they said they had done, they did not. They were able to fix my problem with my security, however, I was told it would take 40 minutes and it took over 8 hrs. I actually had to call them back because the tech left me hanging on remote for a long time without doing anything. Once he started working on it again he was finished very quickly. Don't know if I got him in trouble and he skipped over things or what. I even missed a planned event with my Grandchildren because he had told me I needed to stay by the computer. Would not use them again. I could have done most of what he did.

My experience began pleasantly when my call was answered immediately and I was connected with a technician (Sunita). She was friendly, polite and efficient. She corrected the problems with my laptop and made sure that everything was up to my satisfaction. I am now able to use my device as it was designed. Thank you

We were not impressed, we felt that the 'Senior' technician tried to frighten us in to buying their services, and after giving us some unnecessary and complicated information tried to convince us that we needed over £500 pounds of work, to be done remotely. We took his number and put down the phone at that point. We shut down the computer and the next morning when we tried again the problem had been resolved, presumably by the server. Our own virus protection told us that we had NOT been invaded by spyware as we had been told. A lot of worry for us and anxiety caused by what amounted to a scam.

I have used GURUAID for over two years, and have found that they strive and do their best to resolve any computer issues you may have... And they have. I do recommend them for anyone seeking online assistance for any issues or problems they may have.

Once again after calling on Guru Aid their techs were able to rectify my problem within 25 minutes completely. I had needed to convert my xlr files to be readable in their normal format. That was done and i am able to move forward with some important work THANKS GURU AID.

Vikram Danene worked on my computer for hours until it was the way I wanted it. This company and his services deserve to be commended. All of the Guru people are worthy and very good in the service, and Vikram was the same only possibly a step above going the extra mile to ensure my satisfaction. Thank you Guru and thank you Vidram

Adriel was as professional as any one that I could want. He was patient and understanding and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable in his answers and didn't feel that is was in any type of "in a hurry" me cut me off" to move on to the next person. I felt very comfortable. I hope that he will be my call guy on our next experience. Thank you Adriel...

I have used the services of Guruaid for several years now and they have kept my computer running well and clean up unused and unnecessary programs. Today's service went well and my computer was cleaned up quickly.

To whom it may concern: My technician, SACHIN KULKAMI, *******, THE BEST! He patiently worked on system which contained a virus, had to reach, but with his thorough knowledge, he got it, and destroyed it. He took time from a personal day off to come back and help me. Taking care of the matter, appropriately, competently, and good demeanor. A gentlemen to the end. As I said to his supervisor, he needs to be promoted! How about President? All kidding aside, he was great and I hope if I ever have an issue, I will be able to call on Sachin to help me. Thank you. Nancy Bowman

Eagesh: I have used GuruAid on a number of occasions now and have then to be extremely polite and helpful. They have always acted professionally and solved the problem. Sometimes the problems have been very complex and taken a few hours but they have always succeeded in finding the solution.
They have been invaluable in keeping me, and my wife, online.

Tip for consumers:
Don't hesitate to contact them if your computer is playing up.

My tech rep - Bishwajeet Bose - was very thorough and obviously very knowledgeable in cleaning, tuning, and trouble-shooting my computer. My computer was running very slowly, had several viruses, and other issues. Bishwajeet took care of all those issues and masterfully navigated throughout the fixes. I would recommend him - and Guruaid - as an excellent service and an excellent return on investment.

The Guru Aid that helped me to today resolved my problem and cleaned up my computer. My computer is now free of spyware and he cleaned up things I really did not need that were slowing my computer down. I highly recommend GuruAid!
