Montville to Somerville: I-287 South, about 31 miles.
Get on I-287 South near Route 202 and stay on it for about 27 miles, then exit toward Somerville on Route 202/206. Around 40 minutes outside rush hour.
Montville is at the far north end of the towns we serve, and it's a long way to go for a computer repair. The people who make the drive usually tried the closer options first and want someone who will actually find the problem.
That's what the Somerville bench is for. I diagnose every machine myself, text a flat quote, and do the work only after you approve it. Nothing gets shipped out and you deal with the same person from drop-off to pickup.
From Towaco to Pine Brook and the neighborhoods around Lake Valhalla, I-287 South is a single road to our door.

Data Recovery for Montville
Clicking hard drives, SSDs that disappeared, USB and SD cards that won't read. Recovery done in-house after a $75 diagnostic.
Computers that another shop couldn't fix, drives with files nobody else could recover, and desktops that crash at random. These are the jobs that need bench time: known-good parts, long stress tests, and a technician who doesn't give up after an hour.
If a drive has important files on it and is clicking, beeping or not showing up, stop using it. The hard drive recovery page explains how the process works.

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...
