I was very pleased with the performance of the technicians at GuruAid. My technician, Vishal Pillai, was patient with me and answered my questions thoroughly. I was pleased to have him as my technician. I have been with GuruAid for several years now and have had good experience with the staff and technicians. Good Job.

The best experience I have had with a tech who really knows his job.
I would tell everyone about Tushar.
All my issues were taken care of and more. Very very respectful.
I finally found a tech who knows his job...
I recommend a raise in this New Year!.

Mayuresh Salunke is the best. He completely took control of my computer and resolved all my issues. GuruAid is the best company I could have found and highly recommend them to everyone I talk to when we discuss computer issues.
