Mount Olive to Somerville: Route 206 south through Chester.
From Flanders or Budd Lake, head down Route 206 South through Chester and Bedminster, hop on I-287 South for a few miles, and exit toward Somerville. About 25 miles and 40 minutes.
Mount Olive is a big township with a lot of families, a lot of commuters on Route 46 and I-80, and not many places to get a computer properly fixed. If you've had a laptop come back from a chain store with the same problem, you know why people drive.
At Dave's Computers in Somerville, I diagnose and repair every machine myself. You get a flat quote by text, and nothing happens until you approve it. Your computer stays on my bench from drop-off to pickup.
From the lake to the Flanders side of town and up near Turkey Brook Park, Route 206 takes you straight south to us.

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 Mount Olive residents ask before they make the drive.
How far is your shop from Mount Olive?
About 25 miles and 40 minutes. Take Route 206 South through Chester and Bedminster, then I-287 South briefly and US-22 West to North Bridge Street. We're at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876.
Do you do house calls or on-site repair for Mount Olive?
House calls: no. Home computers come to our Somerville shop so they can be tested properly before pickup. You can read the reasons here.
On-site: yes, for Mount Olive businesses that need networking, installs or multi-computer projects.
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.
My kid's gaming PC keeps crashing. Can you find out why?
Yes. Custom and boutique gaming PCs get a $149 diagnostic credited toward labor. I test each part to find the cause. If the graphics card has failed, it gets replaced, not repaired.
Should I fix my old PC or buy a new custom build?
It depends on the budget. Good new gaming builds start around $2,750. Below that, a RAM, SSD or graphics card upgrade to your current PC usually gets you more for the money.
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.
Can you work on my Mac?
Yes. MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini, along with every major Windows brand and custom-built PCs.
Can I just show up?
Yes, no appointment needed. We're open Monday to Friday 10 to 5 and Saturday 9 to 2. A quick call ahead is welcome but not required.
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.
