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.

The service that I received today, much like every time I utilize GuruAid, was very professional and to the point of meeting my needs. The technician was excellent at getting my computer cleaned up and back on-line with my expired Internet Protection from Kaspersky.

I am extremely satisfied with today's service.

I was having multiple problems with several issues. Guru Aid, and in particular Yatin Dalvi, was so helpful in resolving these problems. I have used Guru Aid for several years now and at all times they have been so very helpful and courteous.

Yes, I am pleased with the service that I have received. Hafizul was very helpful & related to every issue with my computer problems. The computer is much more responsive & I am able to access my email account again. He even help me fine tune the jumpy curser & improved the sensativity on my email screen. I will recomend GuruAid to others.
