Berkeley Heights to Somerville: 19 miles of mostly highway.
Get on I-78 West, switch to I-287 South, and exit toward Somerville on Route 202/206. It's highway nearly the whole way, which is why it only takes about 28 minutes.
Berkeley Heights is a town of long commutes and home offices, with plenty of people who work in tech and still don't want to spend a Saturday fixing their own laptop. When a computer at home stops cooperating, you want a clear diagnosis and a fair price, not a sales pitch.
That's how the Somerville shop works. You drop the machine off, I diagnose it, and you get a text with a flat quote. I'm the only technician here, so you're never explaining the problem twice.
From Murray Hill down to the Passaic River side of town, it's an easy highway run over to us.

Home Offices and Small Businesses in Berkeley Heights
On the home side I see MacBooks with failing batteries, Windows laptops that won't finish updates, and desktops that need an SSD to feel fast again. On the business side it's usually a small office that needs a dependable person to call when a workstation dies or a backup needs checking.
Residential repairs are drop-off only. For Berkeley Heights businesses, on-site work is available for projects like network setup and workstation rollouts, and remote sessions handle the quick software problems.

I engaged "Dave's Computer" to build a new custom build Windows 11 computer as replacement for the Windows 10 machine.
I presented my thoughts and needs to Dave about the new unit and he asked some basic questions as to my needs and want for the new unit. We touched on cost for the unit and I left...
I dropped off my laptop, and Dave gave me a clear overview of the problem (he had experienced similar issues on 3 others of the same model) and the cost. Communication was clear and helpful. Once he started the repairs, he kept me updated. I would absolutely use Dave again!!
I have been going to Dave's Computers for years because he always fixes my problems. I also use his anti-virus and it is as good as any, if not better, than others that I would have to pay much more for. If you're having problems, go to Dave's. He doesn't break the bank and he solves the problems.
Over the last decade or so, whenever I had a computer problem, I went to Dave. I recently had a very worrisome crash; the system failed to boot up. (I hadn't needed to use him for about 3 years.) I paid the "rush fee" on Saturday when dropping the machine off with the weekend agent. By Monday...
"As a Broker of over 40 years in New Jersey I rely on my computer help", which is the artery to my success and business. Thank goodness Dave's is here for me with the messes I get into with scammers, land grabbers and just uneccesary things that I pick up. The most effective virus program have ever...
I had previously tried to build my own PC to no success. Even though right now it is really tough to get a PC built due to the price increases with RAM’s, GPU’s and other parts because of AI, I still really wanted to get one for myself. I came across Dave’s Computers online and went in for a...
What Berkeley Heights residents ask before they make the drive.
How do I get to your shop from Berkeley Heights?
Take I-78 West to I-287 South, exit toward Somerville on Route 202/206, then take US-22 West to North Bridge Street. It's about 19 miles and 28 minutes to 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876.
Will you come to my house in Berkeley Heights?
For residential customers, no. Every home repair is done on the Somerville bench, where I have parts and test equipment on hand. Curbside drop-off makes it easy: call from the lot and Dave carries it in. Here's why we work that way.
Businesses in Berkeley Heights can book on-site project work and remote support.
How much will my repair cost?
It starts with a diagnostic: $75 for standard-brand computers or $149 for custom and boutique PCs, and it's credited when you approve the work. After that you get a flat quote, not an hourly bill. Data recovery starts at $199.
Do you support small businesses in Berkeley Heights?
Yes. Businesses can get monthly managed support, remote support sessions, and on-site project work such as network setup or new workstation rollouts. See our IT support plans.
Can I get my MacBook battery replaced?
Yes. Drop it off for a diagnostic and I'll confirm the battery is the problem, quote the replacement, and test it before pickup.
How fast can you finish a repair?
Standard repairs take 48 to 72 hours. Need it sooner? Rush service is $100 and moves your computer to the front of the line. Chain stores that ship devices out often take one to three weeks.
Do you fix Macs and PCs?
Yes. Windows laptops and desktops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and custom builders, plus Apple Macs: iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac mini.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during business hours: Mon–Fri 10–5, Sat 9–2. You'll check in on our kiosk, which explains how the service works before you sign.
