Nitin was an excellent problem solver. He took time to understand the issues and made me very aware of all the things he was doing. He is an excellent employee.

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

I was very pleased with GuruAid. I called them and they did just what needed to be done, and the technician was very polite. A little pushy on the subject of upgrading, though.

The dvd was not opening properly in my desk top. Guru rectified this after some battle with the machine and now all is fine. Such a relief. The process was explained as we went along very well. I have great satisfaction knowing I have this backup. Excellent performance from technician Sachin.

I like Guruaid, it is easy and convenient to use. It just takes as much time to fix at home as it would to drive somewhere to get it fixed.

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.
