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...
The questions we hear most from 08869 and Raritan Borough residents.
How long is the drive from Raritan to your shop?
Most Raritan NJ residents reach us in about 5 minutes. Head north on Anderson Street, cross the bridge into Somerville (it becomes Bridge Street), and we're at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876 on your left. Free parking right out front.
Do you offer in-home computer services in Raritan?
All repair work happens at our shop on North Bridge Street, about 5 minutes from Raritan, and we built our service around making that easy: stay in your car and we carry the computer in, then label every cable at pickup so reconnecting takes minutes. See how we replaced in-home computer services with something better.
For Raritan businesses, yes, for special projects. Server installs, network setup, and multi-machine rollouts can be done on-site at your office. Call us to discuss.
What does computer repair cost for Raritan customers?
Diagnostic starts at $75 (credited to the repair if you proceed). Standard repairs are quoted flat-rate after diagnostic, no hourly clock, no memberships, no surprise bills. Data recovery starts at $199 after the $75 diagnostic to assess feasibility. Same pricing regardless of which Somerset County town you're coming from.
How fast can you finish a repair?
Most repairs are diagnosed within 24 hours and finished within 48. Same-day rush service is available if you need it sooner. Compare that to the 1–3 week wait you get when a chain store ships your device out to a regional warehouse.
Do you fix Macs and PCs?
Yes, both. We service Windows PCs & laptops (Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, custom builds) and Apple Macs (iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini). Our techs have 15+ years of experience across both platforms.
Do I need an appointment to drop off from Raritan?
Nope. Walk in any time we're open. Mon–Fri 10–5, Sat 9–2. A quick phone call ahead is appreciated if you're driving from 08869 just so we know you're coming, but it's not required.
Will my device leave your shop?
Never. Every device we take in stays right here in our Somerville shop until you pick it up. We don't ship to third-party warehouses, regional service centers, or off-site contractors. That's true whether you bring it in from Raritan, Bound Brook, Bridgewater, or anywhere else in Somerset County.
What if my computer can't be fixed?
If we determine a repair isn't worth the cost, we'll tell you straight. You only pay the diagnostic fee, no repair charges. We can also help you transfer data to a new machine, or build a custom PC if you want to upgrade.
