Drove up from Princeton with a work MacBook that had a broken keyboard. Dave had a replacement in stock and fixed it same-day. The drive from Princeton was completely worth it.

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...

Princeton NJ Computer Repair FAQ

The questions we hear most from 08540 and Princeton residents.

How long is the drive from Princeton to your shop?

Most Princeton NJ residents reach us in about 28 minutes via US-206 North. The shop is at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876 with free parking right out front.

Do you offer computer help for seniors in Princeton?

Yes, and it is built around not making you lift, haul, or learn anything new. Park in our lot and we carry the computer in, label every cable at pickup, and install remote support so future questions get answered from your kitchen table. Princeton is about 28 minutes up US-206, and many customers make the drive once and handle everything after that remotely. Start with computer help for seniors.

What does computer repair cost for Princeton customers?

Diagnostic starts at $75 (credited to repair if you proceed). Standard repairs quoted flat-rate after diagnostic. Data recovery starts at $199 after the $75 diagnostic. Same pricing for all Mercer County customers.

How fast can you finish a repair?

Most repairs are diagnosed within 24 hours and finished within 48. Same-day rush service available. Compare that to the 1–3 week wait at chain stores that ship your device out.

Do you fix Macs and PCs?

Yes, both. We service Windows PCs & laptops (Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Microsoft Surface) and Apple Macs (iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini). 15+ years experience on both platforms.
