Bring the Drive In.
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 (lake house photos from Budd Lake, a Flanders family's scanned paperwork, a remote worker's project files, a youth sports season's videos) 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.

$75 to Find Out What's Recoverable.
Standard diagnostic: 2 to 3 days.The diagnostic tells us why the files disappeared (a failing drive, a deleted folder, a corrupted partition, a dead computer around a healthy drive) and how much of your data can realistically come back. You get an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
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
When you look up data recovery near Mount Olive, some of the listings are only intake desks. Your drive gets sealed in a box and sent to a lab in another state. A package lost between Budd Lake and that lab takes your files with it.
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 Mount Olive, Budd Lake and Flanders Families
Mount Olive Township was formed in 1871 from part of Roxbury Township and is named for Benjamin Olive, who donated land for local churches. Close to 29,000 people live here, with Budd Lake and Flanders each home to nearly 10,000. That is a lot of household computers in one corner of Morris County.
Turkey Brook Park memories
Turkey Brook Park is home to the Seward Mansion, an Italianate stone farmhouse from around 1865 that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Families take plenty of pictures there, and those often end up on one SD card. We recover camera cards on-site in our Somerville shop.
Budd Lake and Flanders households
The township's two largest communities are full of shared family computers. When one stops booting, the photos and paperwork are usually still on the drive. Bring it in and we will diagnose it before quoting a flat price.
Remote workers off I-80 and Route 46
With I-80, Route 46 and US-206 all crossing the township, many residents work from home or commute by car. A dead laptop drive can stall a whole workweek. Ask about rush service when you drop it off with us.

Directions from Mount Olive to Our Somerville Shop
From the park, a few county roads bring you to US-206, which does most of the work before a short hop on I-287 into Somerville.
From Seward Mansion at Turkey Brook Park
- Follow the park road (Seward Place) out to Flanders Road. The park drive makes a few quick turns; at the end, turn right onto Flanders Road (CR 667).
- Stay on Flanders Road for about 1.2 miles. At the end of the road, turn right onto Flanders Netcong Road (CR 613).
- Follow Flanders Netcong Road about 1.1 miles. Then turn right onto US-206.
- Take US-206 for about 14.7 miles. This is the longest part of the drive. Watch for the ramp on the right signed I-287 South: Somerville, Princeton.
- Merge onto I-287 South. After about 1.3 miles, keep left to stay on I-287 South for roughly 2.7 miles.
- Take Exit 17 for US-202 South / US-206 South: Somerville, Flemington. It exits on the left. Merge onto US-202/206 South, then keep right after about 0.7 mile for US-22 East: New York.
- Ride US-22 East about 0.8 mile and exit right for Somerville. The ramp becomes North Bridge Street. Go about 0.7 mile and turn right into our driveway at 75 N Bridge St, where the blue Dave's Computers arrow sign marks the private lot.
A Real Office, With Our Own Parking
We work out of a commercial office building on North Bridge Street, not a spare room in someone's house. It's the large gray-shingled building with the stone front and the tall brick chimneys.
- Find the blue arrow sign. Our Dave's Computers sign sits at the curb right at the driveway entrance.
- Pull into the private lot. Follow the driveway along the left side of the building to the parking lot. Parking is free.
- Look for our windows. Our entrance is in the single-story wing facing the lot, with Dave's Computers signs in the windows.

Mount Olive 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.
How long does it take?
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.
How far is your shop from Mount Olive?
From Seward Mansion at Turkey Brook Park it's about 24.4 miles and 47 minutes, mostly on US-206 South and I-287 South. The shop is at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville, with a private parking lot. Look for the blue Dave's Computers arrow sign at the driveway.
Can I bring my SD card from Mount Olive instead of the whole camera?
Yes. We recover SD and camera cards, so the card alone is fine. Every recovery starts with a $75 diagnostic, credited toward the recovery if you approve, and the standard diagnostic takes 2 to 3 days.
Do you ship my drive to another lab?
No. All recovery work is done on-site at our Somerville shop, and your drive never goes in the mail. If a drive needs work beyond what we do in-house, we'll tell you and can give you the contact for a recovery partner, so you decide what happens next.
Can you recover files from my phone?
No. We recover data from hard drives, SSDs, external drives, USB flash drives, SD cards, computers, and NAS or RAID systems, but not from phones.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm or Saturday 9am to 2pm and check in at the kiosk. Questions first? Call 908-428-9558.
