Who we help
Travelers landing at or leaving from Juan Santamaría (SJO) who cannot wait until they get home: your phone is your boarding pass, your map and your bank.
Expats and retirees in El Coyol, La Guácima, Atenas and Grecia who want someone to explain the options in English — which part grades exist (no part sold in Costa Rica is 100 % original), what the warranty covers, and whether the repair is worth it.
Prices are in colones
Costa Rica prices services in colones (₡). We quote in colones and tell you the exact amount for your model before starting. You can see orientative ranges on each repair page.
Parts, warranty and diagnosis
About replacement parts
No replacement part sold in Costa Rica is 100 % original — not even for iPhone. Every part comes from factories in China. What changes is the quality, and we tell you which grades exist for your model, and what each costs, before the repair.
- Standard. The budget option. On phones that came with an OLED or AMOLED screen it is usually an LCD (incell) panel: it works fine but looks a little duller and uses a bit more battery.
- Premium. A good-factory OLED or AMOLED screen, or a battery with the same or higher capacity than stock. Colors, brightness and battery life very close to what the phone came with.
- Original-grade. The best quality that reaches Costa Rica: by eye and touch it is hard to tell apart from the factory part. It still comes from China and is not an Apple, Samsung or Xiaomi part. Not available for every model.
- Free diagnosis, no obligation to repair.
- Screens and batteries: 1-month written warranty on the part and the labor. It does not cover new drops, liquids or third-party opening.
- Water-damaged phones: we clean the board and do our best, but there is no guarantee the phone will fully recover.
- Back up your phone before handing it over. Screen, battery and port repairs do not touch your data.
- Mangocel is an independent repair service, not an Apple or Samsung authorized provider.
Frequently asked questions
Can you fix my phone before my flight?
Often yes. Most screen and battery replacements take one to two hours when the part is in stock. Message us with your model and flight time and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
Do you have a shop I can walk into?
No walk-in shop. We coordinate pick-up and drop-off by WhatsApp: your hotel near the airport, your condo or a meeting point in Alajuela.
Will repairing my phone here void the Apple or Samsung warranty?
If your phone is still under the manufacturer warranty, a third-party repair can void it. We ask about this before opening the phone so you can decide.
