Call for QuoteChester, Chester Township, Mendham, and Long Valley customers who made the drive to Somerville — and came back.
"Brought in my MacBook Pro that wouldn't start up — had all my work files on it. Dave's had it diagnosed within hours and recovered everything. Worth every penny and the drive from Chester."
"My son spilled water on his laptop right before finals. Took it to Dave's same morning. They dried it out, replaced the keyboard, and had it back to us in two days. Super professional."
"I manage a small office in Chester Township and Dave's has been our go-to for years. Fast turnaround, honest pricing, and they actually explain what they did. No runaround."
One shop, one address. Chester is a straight shot south on US-206 — most customers make it to us in about 20 minutes.
Chester sits at the intersection of US-206 and County Route 513 in southwestern Morris County — which makes getting to us genuinely simple. Head south on US-206 toward Bedminster and keep going into Somerset County. We're on N Bridge Street in downtown Somerville, a couple minutes off 206.
Most Chester Borough and Chester Township customers make the drive in right around 20 minutes. You drop off your device, we call or text you when it's ready, and you swing back through on your return trip. No waiting rooms, no sitting around while someone pokes at your machine in front of you.
If you're searching for laptop repair near me from a Chester zip code, we're consistently the closest independent shop — and we've been fixing computers for Morris and Somerset County residents since 2011.
Before you ship it to a warehouse or hand it to a chain, here's what that usually looks like versus what we actually do.
Common questions and situations we see from Chester, Chester Township, and western Morris County.
Chester Township is known for its farms, equestrian estates, and country properties. We see a lot of laptops that have been dropped in barns, exposed to dust, or had liquid spilled on them. Liquid damage and hard impacts are among our most common repairs from rural Morris County customers.
Chester Borough and Township students attend West Morris Mendham High School. Every fall and spring we see an uptick in student laptop repairs — cracked screens, keyboards missing keys, and machines slowed down by years of accumulated junk. School laptops need quick turnaround and we prioritize students when timing matters.
Chester's affluent, suburban character means a large share of residents work from home — many in finance, consulting, and corporate roles. A laptop failure isn't just an inconvenience; it's a lost workday. That's why we offer honest ETAs upfront and keep most common repairs in stock so you're not waiting on a part order.
Rural and suburban Morris County homes occasionally see power fluctuations, especially during storms. We regularly diagnose machines brought in after a surge — sometimes it's just a power adapter, sometimes it's the motherboard. Either way, we give you a straight answer on whether repair is worth it before charging you for anything beyond the diagnostic.
Six things that separate a 15-year local shop from a franchise or a big-box service desk.
We tell you exactly what's wrong — and what it'll cost to fix — before we do anything. If you proceed, the $75 comes off your repair bill.
Your device never leaves our Somerville shop. We don't ship to a national depot. Your files, your passwords, your photos — stay with us and go home with you.
Most repairs complete in 1–3 business days. We stock common parts and don't put your device in a queue behind 200 others.
Walk in Monday through Friday 10am–5pm or Saturday 9am–2pm. Drop it off, get a call when it's done. Simple as that.
There's no call center between you and the person fixing your computer. If you have questions, you talk to the technician directly.
We've been at the same address in Somerville for over 15 years. We're not going anywhere — and neither is your repair history with us.
Answers to the questions we hear most from Morris County residents before they make the drive.
No — we don't do on-site or in-home visits. All repairs are done at our Somerville shop at 75 N Bridge St. Chester is about 20 minutes away heading south on US-206, so most customers find the drop-off routine pretty painless. No appointment is needed.
When you drop off your device, we run a full diagnostic to identify what's wrong and what it'll take to fix it. That's $75. If you approve the repair and move forward, the $75 is credited toward your total. You only pay the diagnostic fee if you decide not to proceed — you leave knowing what the problem is, no strings attached.
Dave's Computers in Somerville is the closest independent repair shop to Chester. We're about 20 minutes south on US-206. Walk-ins are welcome any weekday or Saturday morning — no appointment needed.
Most repairs — virus removal, screen replacements, battery swaps, SSD upgrades, RAM installs — are finished in 1 to 3 business days. Data recovery and complex motherboard issues can take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you drop off, and we'll call or text you when it's done.
Yes. We repair Windows laptops and desktops from all major brands (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Microsoft Surface, and others), as well as MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac Minis. Hardware and software problems both.
Maybe. Liquid damage depends a lot on what liquid, how much of it, and how long the device was on after contact. Bring it in as soon as possible — the longer you wait, the more corrosion sets in. We'll evaluate the damage and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes it's just the keyboard. Sometimes it's more. We tell you straight either way.
Often, yes. If the drive is intact, we can frequently recover your data even from a machine that won't power on. Data recovery starts at $199. We assess the drive first and tell you what's recoverable before committing you to a price.
Chester Borough is about 20 minutes south on US-206 — it's a pretty direct route. Chester Township may add a couple of minutes depending on where you're coming from. If you're coming from Long Valley, figure about 25 minutes via US-206. Far Hills and Peapack are even closer to us at under 15 minutes.
We do offer curbside pickup and drop-off arrangements — just call ahead at (908) 428-9558 and we'll coordinate. It's convenient for customers who'd rather not come inside or are dropping off on a tight schedule.
Yes. We support small businesses throughout Morris and Somerset counties — workstation repair, network troubleshooting, and routine maintenance. If you have multiple machines or need ongoing support, call us to discuss a service arrangement.
