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 (a youth softball team's season photos, a commuter's work spreadsheets, scanned mortgage papers, a high school senior's college essays) 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.

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
Search for data recovery near Robbinsville and plenty of the map pins are drop-off counters that seal your drive in a box and ship it to a lab in another state. That drive holds your only copy, and a lost or crushed package is gone for good. We keep the work under one roof in Somerville instead.
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 Robbinsville Families, Commuters and Home Offices
Robbinsville was incorporated in 1859 as Washington Township and took its current name in 2008, honoring Congressman George R. Robbins. Today it is a Mercer County township of roughly 15,500 people with the motto "Be at the Center of it All." A lot of that center-of-it-all life ends up stored on laptops and external drives.
Growing households
The township's 2020 census count was its highest ever, and every household keeps photos and school files somewhere. When a family laptop or external drive stops mounting, bring it to our Somerville shop and we will tell you what can be saved before you pay for recovery.
Work near the Turnpike
Robbinsville sits at New Jersey Turnpike interchange 7A, where I-195 heads toward Trenton and the shore. If a work laptop or USB drive with client files fails, we diagnose it on our own bench and text you a flat price.
Robbinsville schools
Sharon Elementary, Pond Road Middle and Robbinsville High School keep students busy with projects, essays and portfolios. We recover files from flash drives, SD cards and laptops, and nothing is shipped out of state.

Robbinsville 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 Robbinsville?

No. You check in once at our shop kiosk, get a ticket number by text, and the diagnosis and flat price also arrive by text in 2 to 3 days. You approve by replying, and the $75 diagnostic is credited toward the recovery.
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.
