You're the closest Middlesex County town to our bench: 15 minutes straight down Route 28. You could practically walk it. (Don't. But you could take the train.)
Most towns on this site get a paragraph about "whether the drive is worth it." Dunellen doesn't need one. You're one square mile sitting right on Route 28, and our shop is fifteen minutes west on that same road: through Middlesex Borough, past Bound Brook, into downtown Somerville, right on N Bridge St. If you've ever driven to the Bridgewater Commons, you've already driven past us.
So here's the short version of what you get for those fifteen minutes: a real bench shop, not a kiosk. A $75 diagnostic, credited toward your repair, usually done within 24 hours. A flat quote texted before any work happens. Most repairs finished in 24–48 hours. And a machine that never leaves our building, because we don't ship computers to depots. Since 2011, same technician, same counter.
Fun fact for train riders: Dunellen and Somerville sit on the same Raritan Valley Line. A few customers have literally dropped a laptop off by train. Three stops, and our shop is a short walk from Somerville station. We may be the only computer shop in New Jersey you can reach by NJ Transit with a dead laptop in a tote bag.

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...
Are you really the closest full repair shop to Dunellen?
Closest bench shop, yes. Kiosks that fix phone screens don't count. Route 28 West, 15 minutes, free parking at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville. Some customers take the Raritan Valley Line. Three stops.
Can I wait while you fix it?
For quick jobs like RAM installs or a diagnostics conversation, sometimes. Most repairs are drop-and-return: at your distance, that often means drop off in the morning, pick up next evening. Downtown Somerville has plenty of lunch options if you want to make an errand of it.
My tower is huge. Options?
Curbside carry-in. Park at our door, call 908-428-9558, and we'll come out and lift it for you, both directions.
Do you fix gaming PCs?
Enthusiastically: thermal rescues, GPU issues, no-POST mysteries, and full custom builds. Dunellen's proximity makes back-and-forth for part decisions painless.
What happens if it's not worth fixing?
We say so, you pay only the $75 diagnostic, and if you'd like we'll quote a replacement and move your data over so the new machine feels like home.
Hours and appointment policy?
Mon–Fri 10–5, Sat 9–2, walk-ins always. You're 15 minutes away. Swing by whenever suits you.
