Computer Repair in NJ: What We Fix for Branchburg Customers
Every repair is done in-house at our Somerville shop by a technician who has been doing this since 2011, not a call center, not a franchise, not a warehouse somewhere.
Whether you're coming from the Neshanic Station side or over near the Raritan River, we're easy to get to. We're a drop-off shop: you bring it in, we diagnose it ($75, credited toward your repair), and we text you when it's ready. No appointment needed.
If you've been searching "computer repair near me" from a Branchburg address, you're about as close to our bench as it gets.
What We Fix
Computer Repair Services for Branchburg NJ: Home & Business
Drop-off repair for Branchburg households, plus IT support for local businesses.
For Homeowners
Residential repair for 08876 & Somerset County
Windows PC Repair
Blue screens, failed updates, noisy fans, bad power supplies and broken laptop screens on Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS and Acer machines.
Apple Mac Service
MacBook Air and Pro battery and screen replacement, iMac storage upgrades, and Macs that won't boot. Diagnosed on my bench, never mailed out.
File & Photo Recovery
Hard drives, SSDs, USB drives and SD cards from computers that failed. Assessed with a $75 diagnostic, recovery starting at $199.
Summer heat and laptop fans. Every summer brings a spike in overheating laptops from Branchburg and Bridgewater, usually clogged fans and dried thermal paste. Work-from-home hardware failures: Branchburg has a lot of remote professionals, and when the only work machine dies, they need clear communication and a realistic timeline, not a vague "a few days."
Small business networks. Route 202 runs through the township with a mix of offices and light commercial businesses, and we help local companies with workstations, backups and network trouble without enterprise pricing. Back-to-school season is busy too: with Raritan Valley Community College next door and students heading to Rutgers and other schools, August and September bring lots of screen replacements and SSD upgrades. Don't wait until the week before classes.

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 Branchburg residents ask before they make the drive.
Is there a computer repair shop near me in Branchburg?
Dave's Computers in Somerville is about 13 minutes from most of Branchburg via Route 202. We're not a franchise: one shop, one technician, and your device never leaves our building. The address is 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876.
Do you offer in-home computer repair in Branchburg?
Not for homes. Residential repairs are drop-off only at our Somerville shop, because spare parts and overnight testing catch problems a house call misses. If carrying the computer is the hard part, call from our lot and we'll bring it in. More on in-home computer repair in NJ.
For Branchburg businesses, yes, for projects like network setup, server installs and workstation rollouts.
What does computer repair cost for Branchburg customers?
The diagnostic is $75 for Dell, HP, Lenovo and other standard brands, credited toward the repair if you go ahead. Custom-built and boutique gaming PCs are $149, credited toward labor. Repairs are quoted flat after the diagnostic, and data recovery starts at $199.
My laptop won't turn on at all. Is it worth bringing in?
Yes. A completely dead laptop doesn't automatically mean the data is gone or that it can't be fixed. Power problems, failed drives and corrupted operating systems can all look the same. The diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong.
Do you work on small business computers and networks?
Yes. We support small businesses across Somerset County with workstation repairs, network troubleshooting, backup setup, monthly managed support and remote sessions.
How long will my computer be at the shop?
Plan on 48 to 72 hours for most repairs. If you can't wait, rush service is available for an extra $100.
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.
Can I just show up?
Yes, no appointment needed. We're open Monday to Friday 10 to 5 and Saturday 9 to 2. A quick call ahead is welcome but not required.
Who actually works on my computer?
I do. Dave's Computers has one technician, the same one since 2011, and every computer stays in the Somerville shop until you pick it up.
