GuruAid Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers praising the quality and thoroughness of technical support, highlighting positive experiences with knowledgeable and courteous technicians. However, numerous negative reviews point to significant concerns regarding deceptive practices, such as misrepresenting affiliations with well-known tech brands and difficulties in obtaining refunds. 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.

Very efficient helped to solve all the problems I had also cleaned the data and checked all working again. Windows 8 has taken me some time to get used too. Guruaid has helped on a couple of occasions. Well worth having them in the background.

My experience began pleasantly when my call was answered immediately and I was connected with a technician (Sunita). She was friendly, polite and efficient. She corrected the problems with my laptop and made sure that everything was up to my satisfaction. I am now able to use my device as it was designed. Thank you

It is fantastic, I have a cup of coffee and watch the work being done, GuruAid does everything. They tell me if there is a problem with my machine and ask if I want it fixed. They inform you as to what they are doing and explain every step. They are very complete with their work. I have all of my machines with them.

Prompt and courteous service. Problem solved and I was assured if it was not to my satisfaction or any other problems occurred, they would be glad to help. I am so happy to have this service as I am not computer literate and need the expertise and advice of GuruAid representatives. Thank you for this service.

The service this evening by Kunal was exceptional. He figured everything out, explained in detail what he was doing, very curtious, very knowledgeable, and made me feel important as a customer. I would recommend this service to others.
