Marlboro to Somerville: Route 18 North, then I-287.
Take Route 79 to Route 18 North, ride it up through East Brunswick into New Brunswick, then take Easton Avenue to I-287 North and exit for Route 22 West. About 30 miles and 42 minutes.
Marlboro is the farthest Monmouth County town on our list, and most people who make the drive have a good reason: a gaming PC nobody else could fix, a laptop with files that can't be lost, or a bad experience at a chain store.
At Dave's Computers in Somerville, I'm the only technician. I diagnose every computer myself, text you a flat quote, and do the work only after you say yes. The computer stays in my shop the whole time.
From Morganville to the neighborhoods off Route 79 and Route 9, Route 18 North gets you most of the way here.

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...

Do you do house calls or on-site repair for Marlboro?

On-site: yes, for Marlboro businesses that need networking, installs or multi-computer projects.
Is there a fee just to look at my computer?
Yes, a diagnostic: $75 for standard brands like Dell, HP and Lenovo, $149 for custom-built and boutique PCs. Either way it's credited toward the work if you approve the flat quote that follows.
Do you fix CyberPower and iBUYPOWER gaming PCs?
Yes. Boutique prebuilts get the same $149 diagnostic as custom PCs, credited toward labor. I test the parts to find what failed and quote the fix.
Is it worth driving 40 minutes for a computer repair?

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.
