Bishwajeet Bose (bbose) was just great today in helping me solve a problem. It is such a pleasure to have him help me. He was very polite and business like. I can't thank him enough for a job well done.

Maintenance issues
June 19, 2015

I had a problem not being able to connect my windows outlook e-mail account to my Microsoft outlook account, I called Guruaid explained the problem and any other problems that I had with my computer and the people at Guruaid went into my computer and solved everything that was wrong with my computer. They are very friendly people and although it took a long time for the windows updates to re-load onto my computer they stayed and my computer now works perfectly with no issues what so ever. I was more than happy to take out a two year maintenance plan and although it's a lot of money it is worth every penny as they do a fantastic job. I will be recommending Guruaid to absolutely every bod. I couldn't be happier with there brilliant customer service. Guruaid are definitely very well worth the five star rating.

I have been a customer of GuruAid since my house was struck by lightning earlier this year and I had to get all new equipment. I would recommend them to anyone. Their technicians are excellent, responsive, easy to communicate with, do their jobs efficiently while explaining what they are doing. I am very happy to be a GuruAid customer.

I am a small business owner who uses computers all day long. I can not be without them for any length of time. I contacted the technicians at Guraaid and it was not very long before I was back up and running. It was timely and professional.

I hadn't cleaned up my computer in awhile and it was slow. My Tech Bishwajeet Bose did an excellent job of cleaning it and making it go faster. He let me know what he was doing at all times and saved me money by explaining the contract prices were going up so I was able to add a year at todays price. I highly recommend GuruAid.
