Computer Repair Services for Jersey City & Hudson County
We'll be straight with you: this is a real drive. Jersey City and Hudson County customers make it because the closer options, mall kiosks, storefront shops with mixed reviews, or shipping to a national service center, often cost more, take longer, or both.
Our process is simple. Drop off your machine, get a text with a flat-rate quote, approve the repair, and pick it up when it's ready. Your device never goes anywhere except our shop, and if you want to know where it is, one phone call answers that.
Laptops, Macs, desktops, virus removal and data recovery are all handled in-house. No subcontractors, no shipping, no runaround.

Why Jersey City Residents Make the Drive to Somerville
Remote workers need reliable fixes. Jersey City has a lot of remote finance, tech and media professionals for whom a dead laptop is a lost day. Standard repairs take 48 to 72 hours, and rush service ($100) moves yours to the front of the line. Slow machines often hide a failing drive; bring it in at the sluggish stage and it's usually a simple SSD upgrade instead of a data recovery job.
MacBook repairs without Manhattan prices. Plenty of Jersey City residents commute to New York and have priced out repairs there. MacBook screens, batteries and keyboard replacements are common jobs from Hudson County, at flat rates. Urban scam traffic is real: if a pop-up tells you to call "Microsoft," don't call the number. Bring the machine in.

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 Jersey City residents ask before they make the drive.
Do you have a computer repair shop in Jersey City NJ?
No. We operate from one location at 75 N Bridge St in Somerville, about 55 minutes from Jersey City via I-78 West. Walk in during business hours, no appointment needed.
Will you come to my house in Jersey City?
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 Jersey City 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.
Is the drive from Jersey City really worth it?
If a local shop can handle a simple repair reliably, go there. If you've had vague quotes, slow turnarounds or machines coming back with the same problem, that's why Jersey City and Hoboken customers make the drive: flat quote first, fixed once, and a direct line to the person who worked on it.
Do you repair MacBooks?
Yes. MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and iMac are among the most common machines we work on. We're an independent shop, not an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and you get a flat quote after the diagnostic.
What's your turnaround time?
Most repairs are done in 48 to 72 hours, and you'll get a text as soon as it's ready. Rush service costs $100 extra and puts it first in line.
Which brands do you work on?
Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI and custom-built PCs, plus MacBook, iMac and Mac mini. I don't service Surface devices or Chromebooks.
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.
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.
