“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.

I have been using this service for that past two years and I find it very helpful. It's especially nice when you can call and have the computer fixed in the same day. Mostly everyone I have spoke with regards to fixing my computer have been very polite. I would recommend them to my close family and friends.

The times i have had with a computer that's almost ten years old were trying until i hooked up with GURU. The techs here have clicked in in the issues with good results and left my mind -at ease. Let me also say they were very polite and quick to resolve the issue-

I was so impressed with his patience, his knowledge, and the short time period he serviced my PC. He explained what he was doing as he cleaned and tuned my PC.
Due to my limited electronic knowledge and age (74), I am so thankful that Bose was the technician chosen to work with me. He is the best technician I have dealt with since joining GURU! Thank you so very much! I hope I can select him for future service.

The technician was very helpful. He explained everything he was doing and worked in a very professional manner. I would recommend him to anyone with a issue on their computer. He knew what questions to ask and had answers for all my questions.

Even though it seems to take time, I really appreciate the patience the techs have. Also checking other areas I may not have been aware of. The problem not only was taken care of, it seemed to help with the seed of my computer. Thank You very much.

Very good service, the tech was able to fix my problem in a short time! He was excellent! However I did have to wait over four hours to receive service, the I got disconnected twice! This does not reflect at any way with tech! He did very well

The technician quickly solved my issues. I only go cut off once when the computer was restarted, but we reconnected in an acceptable amount of time. My computer issues seem to be solved. I am very happy with the service.

It is fantastic, I have a cup of coffee and watch the work being done, GuruAid does everything. They tell me if there is a problem with my machine and ask if I want it fixed. They inform you as to what they are doing and explain every step. They are very complete with their work. I have all of my machines with them.

Ive been having some issues with my computer. A lot of suspicious software. I called up Guru Aid and with a quick phone call and no effort they are on your computer cleaning it up. I had a slight issue with timing but they did a really good job on it. So it really didn't matter.

Was a little unsure of this company which I reached through trying to contact MacAfee! They are quite pushy and liable to do a hard sell, however after a lengthy seven hours with a lovely technician called Naeem Shaikh, we did achieve success on the issues that were causing me problems, so all praise to GuruAid! My only quibble is that I dislike taking on a contract and then being told shortly afterwards that it would be great to upgrade(further expense!) to an elite or premium grade! Annoying- but resist! Poor Naeem was obviously a little upset that that I refused the upgrade, however when he'd settled down a little he was super helpful and supportive! Suspect there is some pressure within the company to sell at all costs! This said, I am delighted with the service I received yesterday! Well done, GuruAid!

I have the service now for a few years. They are very helpful in getting the problem fixed. The only bad part is that you must sit in front of the computer till the problem is resolved, this can take several hours. I have recommended them to several people and they are happy with the service. GuruAid was able to fix my problems. Had a problem where boot command on the computer was block and a company wanted $500.00 to release my computer. Since I was in a contract with GuruAid I paid nothing. In the long run the company saves me time and aggravation with computer problems. I call them once a month just to clean up the computer.

I was dissatisfied with GuruAid service, since I did not need the help they assured me was necessary. In addition, the service person said my emails were not being received, so help was needed. I later found out that my emails were being received. The service people are highly trained to sell you what you don't need. I am not tech savvy, so I would believe most of what they said. I spent $699.99 before I left the several hours-long "help" that I didn't need. When I asked for my money to be refunded, it took considerable time, but GuruAid refunded loo% of the money.

Tip for consumers:
My recommendation is NEVER agree to any repairs without first checking reviews and getting a tech savvy friend to talk over the necessity of the repairs or clean-up GuruAid said was vital..

I would be totally lost without guruaid. Just knowing that I can call anytime and the phone call will be answered immediately is a great perk, Everyone should try them out and they will be sure to keep them every year. Everyone is very professional and
Polite.
