I have been with GuruAid for 2 years now. Every time I have called, I receive nothing but courtesy, patience and very knowledgeable technicians. My service today was provided by Bishwajeet Bose where I experienced the same. He accomplished all of what I had hoped. I would recommend GuruAid to anyone who needs a computer technician support. Thank you GuruAid for being there for me!

I've used GuruAid for several years now and they always get my computer fixed up and running well again. I'm not techie at all and with this service you don't need to be techie, just in front of the computer. I will say that you need to plan to be home for at least 1.5 hours though, as it's not a quick proceedure.
