“I have used Guru Aid for several months now”

Maureen B.

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.

Top Critical Review

“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.

I joined GURUAID 9 days ago and initially I was impressed and the problem I had at the time got resolved in reasonable time, unfortunately today after a second problem occurred I spent almost 7 and half hours in front of my screen. I cannot explain why but one of the service centre individuals made an incorrect acusation which totally made me very angry partivularly as I had been very patient all along. I have paid for a year contract which I certainly will use should the situation arise BUT as things are right now I will be reluctant to continue or even recommend if the gentleman or any colleague responds to me in the way he did today. The actual individual who was trying to sort my problem was most polite.

Sandeep Chauhan was my tech and he did a fantastic job. My brand new laptop was ate up with over 60 corrupt files Including my Kaspersky Internet security. He went in to my laptop and got rid of all of the junk files and reinstalled my Kaspersky after fixing everything. I HIGHLY recommend GuruAid. You'll save a ton of money

I subscribed for one yr, then asked me to extend a yr for a lower rate which I did. I then asked to clean my system and a tech scrubbed my act data base with 12 yrs activity. I canceled the 2nd yr and was given a full refund. I resubscribed for one year. I had to pay a higher price as i was a few days late rensaewing. I have since read complaints online and decided to cancel. I have had the New sys since August. I was told if we were just a few days they would give a full refund. We are 9 days past the 30 day refund and have to pay $120.00 to cancel. I paid $179.99 in August and the only refund I get is $59.99. I had difficulty understanding their staff and had to wait up to one hour to service completed that I think could have been done on half the time. This is a common complaint of other users.

Tip for consumers:
donte use. there are more reliable co.s to us

My only problem is they are constantly trying to get you to part with money and its very annoying when you are already paid up for the year ahead, otherwise they always do a good job.

Yes, I am pleased with the service that I have received. Hafizul was very helpful & related to every issue with my computer problems. The computer is much more responsive & I am able to access my email account again. He even help me fine tune the jumpy curser & improved the sensativity on my email screen. I will recomend GuruAid to others.
