This was the first time I've been to Dave's Computers, but he clearly knows what he's doing. It's been a while since I've had my laptop checked out and I'm a student so I only use it for a few things, but Dave looked at it personally and got my speed and antivirus software up-to-date. He was friendly, professional, and the store, although almost hidden from the rest of the shopping plaza, was clean and easy to get to. His service on my computer was delivered promptly at the agreed-upon time, and I was called once my laptop was ready. He was also ready to answer any follow-up questions and was quite helpful, even though the service itself was free. As a Testimoniacs expert, I would recommend Dave's Computers to anyone who, like me, wouldn't necessarily consider themselves to be computer-savvy, but needed some professional assistance of the right kind. I highly recommend one to take the opportunity to get their computer diagnosed for free; visiting Dave is worth the drive. Rachael read more

The worst experience i ever had dealing with any business. The guy is rude, impersonal and so rigid that is unbelievable. He refused to accept a coupon that he himself posted on his door to the office. The paper does not say it has an expiration date, it does not say you have to present it the day you pick up your product and definitely does not specify of any restrictions or limitations on the coupon. Incredible. Never again !!!!!!! read more

Very knowledgeable and very efficient unfortunately, my computer cannot be saved, but he gave me a good price to rebuild it and I had him go ahead and do that read more

Great service and quick return. They even loaded an antivirus for us for free. I highly recommend Dave's Computers!

Imac stopped booting up and brought it in. Had a diagnostic fee to start off but they were able to diagnose and fix quickly within days. Well worth the fee. Imac works great now. Covid safe too, as one customer in store at a time. Mask and social distancing. Well done. Highly recommended. read more

Found them through Google. They were able to take me quickly. ----- Great. There was an extra fee to rush it. ----- Fine, no problem. When I received my laptop back it was very messed up including my MS Office documents (Word, Excel, etc....) were ALL converted into software called 'LibreOffice' which they installed on my laptop. My email was disconnected from the interface I had it attached to. Desktop format completely changed and on and on. ---- Let's fix it. Called and was told that I need to bring my laptop back to them and drop it off to fix THEIR mistakes. I would lose at least a full day of working on my laptop and that is a 1 hour round trip for me x 2. I asked for them to just link into my computer and have them fix the problems they created and was told I had to pay for that. They created the problems and how do you justify $50 dollars to link into my device? I asked to speak to the Dave of Dave's computers and was told he will tell me the same thing with a little laugh. I chose not to give them another dime. Scam? Or they don't understand how to run a business. Very disappointing. read more

I brought our family laptop with a corrupt hard drive to Dave. His assistant Ashley could not have been more professional and patient with all of my questions. Dave was able to recover my data and install a new hard drive. Our back up drive was also corrupt so he did not have a lot to work with. Luckily due to his extensive knowledge he was able to get us back up and running in 2 days. Dave was able to assist with a few questions even after I picked up the laptop. My family is grateful to Dave! I would highly recommend Dave and his team. - read more

Recommended to the highest level without doubt. When my computer died I brought it to Dave's. It was history. They had me up and running on new equipment quickly. Honest service and resolution of your system needs. Don't hesitate to have them investigate and resolves your issue. Dave's understands customer service and being a partner in solving your needs in a cost effective manner. They went out of their way to get me functioning during a critical project for a client. read more

Great service. Fast, friendly and fair price. Would recommend to anyone having computer issues.

My computer screen suddenly went black, I headed to Dave's hoping to get a quick fix. After a day I was informed the computer could not be fixed. So I asked if they could recover my data. Thankfully the data on the computer was able to be recovered. I had to bring an external drive to transfer the information, it took all of 2 days to get this all done. Customer service was great & helpful. read more

I give a 5-star rating for Dave's Computers in Hillsborough. Service was friendly, timely, reasonably priced, and work was done with 100% efficiency. I highly recommend this place for all your computer repair needs. read more

Advice never use them Really bad customer service Ripoff with charges - one price is told and much higher charges read more

Dave is very nice and knowledgeable. My desktop crashed and he recovered it within a day. Thankfully no data loss :) I was so relieved. read more

Dave's Computers - Data Recovery Near Me - Somerville, New Jersey

Dave and his team were great. They were able to fix my computer quickly and efficiently. They were friendly, knowledgeable and the price was fair. It's great to have a computer repair shop so close that I can count on. I highly recommend this business read more

These guys were great. I dropped my laptop off because of a fan issue. They diagnosed that and that my hard drive was beginning to fail. Totally gave me the option on what to do. Cost was reasonable and much cheaper than getting a new laptop. Picked up and running well, have not found any data lost on transfer. read more

I brought my desktop in after it was having issues turning on. After a quick assessment, I left it there with the promise they would take a look at it ASAP. Shortly after lunch, maybe two hours later, they got back to me with the news that my motherboard had failed. They offered to transfer everything over to a new tower that would be comparable and they even offered to upgrade me to windows 10. Overall, it was a bit expensive, but my computer was up and running + upgraded within hours of the initial drop-off. The quality of work was excellent and should I require assistance in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to bring my computer to Dave's. read more

Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and quick to get back to you. And you don't feel like an idiot asking questions! Give him a try. I frankly have him work on the computer I have versus ever get a new one. read more

I called ahead to make sure they were open and that I could drop off my computer to be repaired. I told the person who answerrd the phone that I would be there shortly and he just said okay. I broke down my computer setup and loaded it into my car and drove 25 minutes to get there. When I got there I carried my computer inside, then went back out again to get the software. The person asked me for all my personal contact information and what problems I was having with my computer. Then and only then do you find out that they require $75.00 upfront just to diagnose the problem. I didn't bring any money with me because I just assumed that I would be paying when it was finished and ready to be picked up. So basically, I just wasted a good hour of my life which I'll never get back. Gee, don't you think it would be a good idea to let people know thay before they drive all the way there???. I'm guessing that they purposely don't mention it until your inside and standing there with a heavy computer in your arms assuming that you'll just pay it at thay point. If they told people about the $75.00 upfront before coming there they would probably loose customers. Also, think about it, you or I could open our own computer repair shop. Charge $75.00 upfront to diagnose the problem, call the customer the nexy day and just say that the computer can't be fixed you would need a whole new motherboard, come get your computer and oh yeah, thanks for the $75.00. In the end, I ended up finding a GREAT computer repair shop that came to my home and picked up my computer. They brought it back two days later and just charged me a flat $65.00 for one hour of labor, no taxes or any additional fees. read more

I freaked out when my work computer wouldn't boot up. The hard drive failed. They recovered all the data off my hard drive that would have taken years to redo. It wasn't cheap but it saved me my job and my sanity. I hope i never have to return but if i do I'll definitely go back. read more

I have been two Dave's twice and both times had very pleasant experiences. I came yesterday to pick up my PC that seems to be dead. Dave did not charge me the diagnostic fee which is great! Dave also has the online chat service which was very helpful. I spoke with him through the chat service the night before. In general, I trust his work and believe that he knows what he is doing. He is kind and can answer your computer questions quickly! read more

I knew Dave from back when he started Dave's Computers, and I was impressed with how much he has expanded it since then! I have a custom built computer which experienced a power surge, and I could not determine which part(s) had been affected and which hadn't. I brought it to Dave; he figured it out for me without a problem, and helped me with replacing the parts. Dave is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable - I will definitely be going to him for any future computer issues I have. The experience is personal and hassle free. read more

My apple battery blew up and fractured my computer pad. I went to the apple store that gave me a list of apple authorized dealers, all of whom were expensive and far from my house. I decided to go to Dave's and found that he was knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He was able to fix my computer, replacing the battery and pad without a problem. My vintage apple is working great. No data loss and no major expense. Do not hesitate. I was so glad that I read these reviews and went to Dave's. read more

Always available, quick with the repairs...Keeps me out of trouble. Thanks Dave

I have seen Dave a few times. First he helped us set up our website for our rental vacation condo. Then he helped us integrate with the community websites. He has also gotten us an availability calendar. I am not good with computers. I went in with problems using our computers which are on old operation systems; they have problems with current programs, even mail. Dave discussed how I can still use them and even provided a work around. We also discussed getting a new one. Unlike the big box store, he had multiple choices, especially with 7 vs 8, and different makes. He knows his stuff and there was no pressure. His prices are very reasonable; I recommend him highly. read more

I have been going to Dave for the past couple of years for my computer repairs (mainly hard drive failures on my Lenovo and Toshiba laptops). Dave is a super nice and honest guy. I get a little stressed when it comes to hard drive crashes and the possibility of data loss. Dave's exceptional knowledge and calm demeanor eases the anxiety and he always resolves my issues in a very timely manner. His service is always very professional and efficient. My most recent issue was a total hard drive death on my Toshiba last week. Dave installed a new hard drive and recovered all of my Windows Mail folders, documents, pics, data, etc. I picked up my computer on Sat. 01/31 and spent that night and all day Super Bowl Sunday re-installing my software (Microsoft Office, Norton, QuickBooks, etc). I had trouble importing my business data back into QB and contacted Dave on Sunday. He actually replied and ended up doing a Remote Support session with me during the second quarter of the Super Bowl! Dave goes far above and beyond of any other repair service that I used before he opened his store. It seems like he works tirelessly even before and after store hours to do whatever it takes to keep his customers happy. I'm an inquisitive person and ask Dave questions if I'm waiting in his store, and he always has good advice. One shocking stat for readers: I was surprised to hear that less than half of the computers he repairs has the data backed up to an external source. If I hadn't had my data saved to an external hard drive, the recovery / repair would've taken at least 2 weeks and cost at least $500, and much more than that depending on how many GB the hard drive is. . WORD OF ADVICE: Save yourself a world or worry and invest in an external hard drive! You can get a 250GB from EBay or Amazon for about $40, which is a smart "insurance policy" that could save you many hundreds. read more

Dave's computers was great when I needed to find a computer to operate some imaging software that required some specific operating systems. He has helped with a number of other computer issues, and I most recently signed up for their managed Web Protection which works great! We use a shared computer to operate some sophisticated imaging equipment and having this anti-viral protection against web and external drive sources is definitely worth the small expense. read more

The guys at Dave's Computers were great. They helped me diagnose the problems with my computer and offered a cheap solution. I dropped off my laptop in the morning and was able to pick it up the same day. Would highly recommend if you need to fix hardware on your computer. read more

My computer started going glitchy a couple of weeks ago (required numerous restarts) and finally got to the point where the programs would not run at all. My husband thought it was a problem with the hard drive not being recognized. We took the laptop to Dave and he looked at it immediately with an initial diagnosis of a bad laptop, the hard drive itself appeared to be OK (a great relief since I use it quite a bit). He confirmed this the next day and after a couple of phone calls to agree on the direction to proceed, I now have a new computer with the old hard drive, all my files and the same "look" that I m familiar with. Thanks for making the transition completely painless! Dave was completely professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and the computer is running beautifully. read more

very curt and rude; not at all happy with the communication; ended up taking my business elsewhere and would not recommend them based on how they treated me read more

I have an old laptop that I use as a backup that was running so slowly that I considered junking it. I took it to Dave's Computers for a tune-up and I am absolutely amazed how they were able to make the laptop run almost like new. It is now running faster than my newer, more powerful laptop. I will definitely be bringing the newer laptop to Dave's for a tune-up in the near future. It was worth every penny to get my laptop tuned up at Dave's. read more

The best, responds quickly and fixes the problem remotely or in the store in record time. Would use no one else but Dave for my computer ills! read more

As an applications computer consultant I appreciated the excellent service provided by Dave. He is intelligent, friendly, honest, reasonable and up-to-date on the latest technology. I would recommend him to anyone having computer issues. read more

Dave from Dave's Computers is amazing and truly the best at what he does beyond his years. He saved my files and enabled me to access my data remotely during Hurricane Sandy. He was there when I needed him and did what no one else could. A true computer genius w common sense as well. read more

Dave did a great job repairing an ipad. He actually replaced the glass cover. Dave is knowledgeable and efficient. Before he agreed to do the work he explained what he would do, when it would be completed and how much it would cost. All accomplished and in the time that he promised. I would have no reluctance in giving Dave any computer work. read more
