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.

I could not get windows ten to install avast internet after Microsoft had had uninstalled it to fix a problem with no start menu or catana not working. I tried to install avast the next day but would not, so I went to avast website to download the licence again but no way could I get it working.
I phoned guruaid and they had it installed soon as well as tuning up my computer.

Don't believe ANY of the positive reviews, they are fake and it you read carefully you can tell. I needed help with a BSOD after Windows 10 installation, so I looked up windows 10 customer service since they are providing it free with this software and almost immediately an Indian sounding rep answered the phone, already highly suspicious, but the fact that he wanted my full name, phone number and email before he helped me was even worse. But I gave him an old email and my other cell which isn't actually on anymore so I'm ok on that part. I allowed him to help me get the laptop booted up into safe mode which in turn showed me that my previous system restore that failed had finally worked effectively solving my issue, however, he still wanted to be sure and wanted to have me connect to the Internet directly and allows him to "share" my screen with guru aid, I let him know how that would take a while and he promised to call back soon to finish... then I went online and did research on guru aid... NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS OF SCAMMERS! They are very nice and sound very knowledgeable but they are not real techs and falsely represent the other companies they pose as. VERIFY YOUR REPS! Or you may end up like others who have lost money, time and control over their own computers when connected online.

Balaji was most kind and exceptionally helpful to a very old technophobe. He cured my PC problems in a few minutes in a most polite and impressive manner. I am impressed!

Needless to say I have entered into a world I don; t know enough about to prompt my computer to install windows 10. However, through the expertise of the technicians at guruaid.com I have my equipment back in working order. I plan on continuing to call the techs when needed and will continue with the service if so I can keep my equipment clean and serviced.
