Microsoft 8.1 lockup
February 19, 2015

The tech personnel I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. I was locked out of my PC after a MS Windows 8.1 download and needed to get back up and running right away. I also opted for the computer checkup/cleanup, which went very smoothly.

Great Service
February 19, 2015

Periodically I get PC problems that I find cannot solve as I am out of my depth, Every time I use Guruaid they fix whatever the problem is, and believe me I have given some challenges.
Today I had a difficult issue and a Guruaid technician spent almost three hours solving the problem, throughout the process the technician was helpful, polite and solved the issue. I am very pleased with the service and would recommend it to anyone

Service a plus!
February 18, 2015

I come to GuruAid with an internet access issue. The technician (Sachin) worked his fingers to the bone to get to the bottom of the issue and resolve the problem. It literally took hours of investigating to locate the problem. Not only is proper access regained but the system seems to be a little more friendly (could be subjective). I have a two year contract and will opt for an Elite package at renewal. Great job GuruAid. 5 stars baby!

As hopeless as I am with computers, it was with great relief and satisfaction that I was able to put my trust in the capable hands of someone like Rakesh who pleasantly and effortlessly guided me through the nightmarish task of putting right my new laptop. Top notch!
