Union to our Somerville shop: one road, about 22 miles.
Get on Route 22 West anywhere in Union and stay on it through Springfield, Mountainside and Bridgewater until the North Bridge Street exit. About 38 minutes outside of rush hour.
Union has plenty of places that will take a computer. What's harder to find is a shop where the same person diagnoses and fixes it, quotes a flat price, and doesn't ship it to a warehouse. That's why Union customers make the drive to Somerville.
I've run Dave's Computers since 2011 and I'm the only technician on the bench. You drop the machine off, I diagnose it, and you get a flat price. Nothing happens without your okay.
Kean University students, families in Townley and Five Points, and small businesses along Morris Avenue all take the same route: Route 22 West.

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 Union residents ask before they make the drive.
How do I get to your shop from Union?
Take Route 22 West the whole way, about 22 miles and 38 minutes, and exit at North Bridge Street. We're at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville NJ 08876.
Do you offer in-home computer repair in Union?
Not for homes. Residential repairs are drop-off only at our Somerville shop, because spare parts and overnight testing catch problems a house call misses. If carrying the computer is the hard part, call from our lot and we'll bring it in. More on in-home computer repair in NJ.
For Union businesses, yes, for projects like network setup, server installs and workstation rollouts.
What does computer repair cost for Union customers?
The diagnostic is $75 for Dell, HP, Lenovo and other standard brands, credited toward the repair if you go ahead. Custom-built and boutique gaming PCs are $149, credited toward labor. Repairs are quoted flat after the diagnostic, and data recovery starts at $199.
I let a scammer onto my computer. What should I do?
Disconnect it from the internet and turn it off. Call your bank and change your email password from a different device. Then bring the computer in for our virus removal service, $149 flat.
Do you fix laptops for Kean students?
Yes. Screens, batteries, slow Windows laptops, and Macs. Drop it off with the charger and I'll text you a flat quote after the diagnostic.
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.
Do you send computers out for repair?
Never. Every repair is done on my own bench in Somerville, and your computer doesn't leave the building.
