Heads up

Searching Google for "data recovery near me"? Watch out.

If you Google "data recovery" in New Jersey, you'll see a few names that pop up with 3, 4, even 5 different "locations" all over the state. Here's what's actually going on:

  • Multiple "NJ locations" under one name = your drive is shipped. A real recovery lab is one location with the actual clean-room equipment. Multiple addresses are pickup-only fronts β€” your drive gets boxed up and sent out of state.
  • Some of those Google listings are flat-out fake. Out-of-state operators are creating bogus Google Business Profiles posing as local NJ repair shops with on-site labs they don't actually have. The address goes to an empty office or a virtual mailbox.
  • If your drive does need a real clean-room lab, ours has been doing this since 1995 β€” decades before these fake listings ever showed up. Real equipment, real address, real engineers.
We're one shop, one address: 75 N Bridge St, Somerville, NJ. If you're not sure who you're dealing with online, drive past their address. If it's an empty office or a UPS Store, you have your answer.

When a drive needs more

Physically failing drive? Here's exactly how it works.

If a drive has a real mechanical failure β€” clicking heads, motor problems, burnt electronics β€” and we determine we cannot even start the recovery process here, the $75 diagnostic is refunded and we refer you to our partner lab. Important: if we can recover your data, there is no refund. The refund only applies when the drive is too physically damaged for us to begin work at all.

We diagnose ($75)

β†’
$75 REFUNDED

Can't even start? Refund.

If a mechanical failure means we can't begin any recovery process at all, your $75 is refunded

β†’
SINCE 1995

Referred to our partner lab

All the work happens at their location β€” clean-room recovery, they quote you direct

To repeat β€” because this matters: If we recover your data, the $75 diagnostic stands and you pay the recovery quote. No refund. The refund only kicks in when the drive is physically too far gone for us to start at all β€” and even then, our partner lab has been doing this work since 1995.

Data recovery questions.

Can you get my files back?

Most of the time β€” yes. Deleted files, crashed operating systems, and dead laptops usually have recoverable drives. Physically broken or burnt drives are harder, but often still doable.

How long does it take?

Most recoveries are done in 2–5 days. If a drive needs to go to our lab partner, it can take 1–3 weeks.

What does it cost?

Every job starts with a $75 diagnostic β€” that's the flat fee to inspect the drive. After that, we quote the recovery upfront. No surprise bills.

What's the expedite option?

For an extra $100 on top of the diagnostic, your drive goes to the front of the queue β€” worked on before anything else. Most expedited jobs are done in 24–48 hours, and for failing drives where time really matters, it can mean the difference between recovering your files and losing them.

Are you "data recovery near me" if I'm in central New Jersey?

If you're in Somerville, Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Branchburg, Raritan, Manville, or anywhere else in Somerset / Hunterdon / Middlesex County, yes β€” we're a quick drive. Our shop is at 75 N Bridge Street in downtown Somerville, right off Route 22 and a few minutes from I-287 and Route 206. Walk-ins welcome during business hours.

Do you do on-site or in-home data recovery?

No β€” recovery is done at our Somerville shop only. Drives need controlled bench equipment and software that doesn't travel. You're welcome to drop off in person, mail it in, or use curbside drop-off if you call ahead.

Do you ship my drive out of state?

No. Your drive stays in our Somerville shop. If it needs a clean-room lab, we use a trusted local partner β€” and we tell you before anything moves.

What if you can't recover anything?

If we attempted the recovery and the data turned out to be unrecoverable, you pay the $75 diagnostic β€” no recovery fee on top. That's different from the refund case below.

When is the $75 diagnostic refunded?

Only if the drive is physically failing β€” a mechanical issue we can't open or work on safely β€” and we can't begin any recovery process at all. In that case the $75 is refunded and we refer you to our trusted lab partner who has been doing clean-room recovery since 1995. The refund does not apply if we successfully recover your data, even partially.

How do I get my files back after?

We put them on a new drive, USB, or cloud storage β€” whatever works for you.
