What's New? Changes
at Simcoe Computes! Now operating in Port Dover (March
1, 2026)
It's been almost 3 years since we closed our storefront
at 65 Robinson Street in Simcoe.
Our operation has shifted to my home in Port Dover. You can reach me at
lalucas@simcom.ca or 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 emergencies.
Your business is greatly appreciated and I have been pleased with the
response from existing as well as new customers. While the store is
closed, I continue to provide sales and service on an appointment
basis with onsite, delivery and pickup options. With closure of
our storefront I will no longer accept payment by credit card but will accept payment by e-transfer, cash or cheque.
2026 is our 39th 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 including 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 39 years ago (1987) and now it's time for yet another phase in our
ongoing business operation.
We've moved and expanded many times over the years but the
computer industry has changed dramatically. While big box stores carry a
wide variety of product their service leaves much to be desired. If you are
looking for real personal service and advice on what will best meet your
needs and budget give me a call.
