No appointment. Check in at the kiosk.Walk in during shop hours and check in on our kiosk. The screen explains how data recovery works in large, easy-to-read text, confirms your turnaround time, and asks you to tick a box and sign on screen. Tell us which files matter most (elementary school art photos, a home office's client files, scanned 1950s house plans, a soccer season video) so we look for those first.
We work on internal hard drives and SSDs, external USB drives, flash drives, SD and camera cards, desktops and laptops, and NAS or RAID boxes. We do not recover data from phones.

Your drive stays on our bench in Somerville the whole time. We don't box it up for a lab in another state, so you're never waiting on a shipping label to find out what happened to your files.

Avoid the Fake Data Recovery Listings
Several map listings for data recovery near Kendall Park are really shipping points. They take in your drive, pack it, and mail it to a lab in another state. A misplaced box could mean losing the files you were trying to save.
Your drive goes in a box
- The local listing only collects the drive, then ships it to a lab you've never seen, often in another state.
- A failing drive gets bounced around in a delivery truck, and a package can be delayed, damaged, or lost.
- Your family photos or client files pass through strangers' hands and a shipping depot.
- You wait on transit both ways before anyone even looks at it, and the person at the counter can't answer your questions.
Your drive stays in Somerville
- All recovery work is done on-site, on our own bench at 75 N Bridge St. Your drive never leaves the building.
- You hand it to the person who actually does the work, and you can call the shop directly at 908-428-9558.
- Standard diagnostic in 2 to 3 days with no shipping time, and rush service is available.
- If your drive needs something beyond what we do in-house, we tell you plainly and can give you the contact for a recovery partner. The choice stays yours.
Quick test: before you hand over a drive anywhere, ask "Will my drive be recovered here, in this building?" If the answer involves shipping, you're looking at a drop-off point, not a lab.
Data Recovery for Kendall Park's Planned Neighborhoods and Home Offices
Kendall Park is a community in South Brunswick named for builder Herbert Kendall, who put up about 1,500 homes between 1956 and 1961. It grew in stages, including the Constable section south of New Road and the Greenbrook section north of Sand Hill Road. Roughly 10,000 people live here now, and plenty of them work from home.
Classic Kendall Park houses
The original ranch homes and colonials have seen decades of families, and many of those memories are now digital. If the family desktop stops booting, power it down. Bring the whole computer and we will pull and test the drive.
Four neighborhood elementary schools
Cambridge, Constable, Greenbrook and Brunswick Acres elementary schools all sit in Kendall Park. School photos and projects end up on SD cards and flash drives. We recover both in our Somerville shop.
Home offices off Route 27
Many residents run businesses or remote jobs from a spare bedroom. One failed external drive can hold years of invoices. Unplug it and bring it in for a diagnostic.

Kendall Park Data Recovery FAQ
How much is the data recovery diagnostic?
$75. It covers checking the drive, finding out why the files are missing, and telling you what can be recovered. If you approve the recovery, the $75 is credited toward the price.
When is the $75 refunded?
When you hand us the drive directly (a bare drive, external drive, USB flash drive or SD card) and we can't recover your data, the diagnostic is refunded. If the drive has to be removed from a laptop or desktop, that removal is labor, so the diagnostic isn't refunded even if recovery isn't possible.

The standard diagnostic takes 2 to 3 days. We also offer rush service, and we'll go over it with you in person at drop-off.
