Changes
at Simcoe Computes!
Now operating in Port Dover
(March
24, 2025)
It has now over 23 months since we closed our storefront location at 65 Robinson Street.
Our operation has shifted to my home in Port Dover. You can reach me at
226.567.8185 with any questions or if I can be of assistance with the
purchase of a new system (desktop or laptop) or for service or general
guidance. Without the restriction of limited business hours I can be
reached days and evenings but ask you to limit calls on Sunday to emergency
situatiions.
Your business is greatly appreciated and I have been very pleased with the
response from existing as well as new customers. While our store is
closed, we continue to provide sales and service on an appointment
basis with onsite, delivery and pickup options. With closure of
our storefront we will no longer be accepting payment by credit or
debit cards but will accept payment by e-transfer, cash or cheque.
2025 is our 38th year in business.
Few businesses survive for such a lengthy period of time and
adapting to the ever changing times in the computer industry is both
challenging and enjoyable. Over this great many years we have gone from
Commodore 64's and systems with almost no memory or storage space to levels
that were beyond our belief a mere 10 years ago. Change in this business is
neverending. Personal computers were once a thing for the relatively wealthy
and could cost the equivalent of several months income. Today, while
performance and quality has soared the prices have fallen to levels where
very few people can do without a computer and many if not most have multiple
systems as well as smart phones and tablets which can do far, far more than
the computers of not that long ago.
Simcoe Computes has evolved with the changing times since first opening in
my home 38 years ago (1987) and now it's time for yet another phase in our
ongoing business operation.
We have continued to provide sales and service to our loyal customers
throughout the rapidly changing marketplace over these last 38 years.
We've moved and expanded many times over the years but in recent years the
computer industry reached a saturation point and sales rapidly declined and
service became an important component of our business.
We will of course continue to honour all warranties and provide sales and
service to our customers and remain available to
assist with customer needs providing delivery and onsite service wherever
possible.
