GuruAid Reviews Summary

Customers frequently report long wait times, inadequate service, and aggressive upselling tactics. Overall, while there are satisfied customers who appreciate the support, a substantial number express distrust and dissatisfaction, indicating a need for improved transparency and customer service practices.

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.

I had 3 phone calls from clients this morning saying they had received odd emails from me that I had not sent. My computer was running very slow too. I called Sachin at Guruaid and had the problem fixed within the hour. Infection removed and everything else tuned. Highly recommended.

As someone in the older generation that was not raised on computers, maintaining a computer is often daunting. I had my previous email account attacked and it caused all kinds of problems. I luckily found GuruAid. They are worth every cent for their service. I plan on maintaining my contract with them. In today's world of cyber attacks, identity theft etc, I feel more confident that I can utilize my computer and not be jeopardized. Every contact that I have had with GuruAid has been outstanding in customer service and problem resolution. It is apparent their staff are well trained as well as having the skills to communicate with those of us who are not as computer savvy. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to have the support of an entire team and the piece of mind that any issues will be resolved.
