West Windsor drops off in Somerville: about 22 miles away.
Head west through Princeton and follow Route 206 north through Montgomery and Hillsborough. It's about 40 minutes, and there's parking right at the shop.
West Windsor households are hard on computers in the best way: students doing serious schoolwork, parents on video calls from Princeton Junction to Manhattan, and gaming PCs that run late into the night. When one breaks, you need an answer, not a three-week wait.
I run the Somerville shop myself. You drop the computer off, I diagnose it, and you get a flat price by text before any work starts. Every repair is done on my bench and tested before you pick it up.
From the Route 1 side of town to Dutch Neck and Grovers Mill, the drive up 206 is straightforward and gets you to a technician who has done this since 2011.

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...

Will you come to my house in West Windsor?
For residential customers, no. Every home repair is done on the Somerville bench, where I have parts and test equipment on hand. Curbside drop-off makes it easy: call from the lot and Dave carries it in. Here's why we work that way.

Do you repair gaming PCs?
Yes. Custom and boutique gaming PCs get a $149 diagnostic credited toward labor. I test parts individually to find the fault. Graphics cards are tested and replaced if they've failed, not repaired.
