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.

Worst Computer
June 2, 2015

Our computer was pretty bad and I mean the worse. The people at GuruAid were very patient with my lack of computer software knowledge. I was quite concerned at first because of the cost but in the end it would benefit. After 4/5 hours working on our computer they were able to fix everything! Also any additional problems in the future they will fix.

Patience and allow the technician do the problem resolution. I do think that speaking with the technician is a better way to problem solve than by using chat.

Two Laptop Support
June 1, 2015

I have being getting support from GURUAID for the past Seven years, and I have found them to be very professional in their work. I first had one Laptop which was 8 years old, and had many problems with it, and thanks to GURUAID every thing was fixed, and I am still using same.
As soon as I bought the second Laptop last year, I immediately signed up for support with GURUAID. They provide support 24/7.
I can recommend their services to anybody without any hesitation.
I wish them well.
