Second Source Computer Center History

picture of a server switch In 1992, the average person was just starting to realize that they could not only enjoy, but also afford a personal computer for work and play. The World Wide Web had just begun to offer a way to connect with ideas and people. All of a sudden there was a whole new way of doing things, and it was available to everyone.

This was the year that John Goodridge, along with his brother, opened a business called "Second Source" - a name that represented the idea that everyone could own a second-hand computer at an affordable price.

John's initial business focus was to make available a variety of new and pre-owned computers for home and business. While John still sells computers and laptops, the repair services side of his business has taken off leading to computer repairs, data recovery, gaming console repairs, DC Jack / power repairs and so much more. We are proud to offer that same great service but in a bigger space at our new location on 600 Westtown Road.

I cannot say enough Great things about Second Source. I purchased a computer there and was very frustrated that it was only a couple times I had used it in several months and it wasn’t connecting. I tried numerous suggestions from my neighbor but with no success. I called second source but had no idea how I was going to explain what was happening and I am a nurse so I know nothing about computers. Long story short the owner came to my house not only fixed but also put a wireless adapter on my computer at no charge!!!!! Who does that anymore? I offered to pay him and he told me no just refer my friends there. Can you believe that? I am so grateful that people like John still exist. I purchased the computer from Chris also super knowledgeable. I would refer anyone with a computer issue this is your place:)

Great local resource to recycle used equipment or pick up a used or new computer component.
